Tying It All Together
As an educator, you increasingly work with students of diverse
backgrounds, cultures, native languages, and ability levels. Project-
based learning provides a greater range of learning opportunities to
your students. Working on a project with others motivates learners byallowing them to work with content in the context of real-world
situations (Katz & Chard, 1989). Additionally, twenty years of research
has shown the motivation has a positive impact on achievement
(Brewster & Fager, 2000).

Final Words AboutEngagement Tools for the Classroom
Julie Maher, a participant in the SummerWorkshop, says,
This course was the best course Ive taken for
computer technology integration EVER!! Grant
(the instructor) modeled the teaching he
expected us to bring back to our teachers, gave
us time to produce a product, and then asked
for our reflection on how we would integratethe material into our own schools.
