Chuck Sandy led a presentation and workshop explaining how classroom projects are an effective way to consolidate and extend learning, increase motivation, enhance classroom dynamics, and promote learner-autonomy. He stressed that because projects by definition result in some sort of tangible end product, project work provides clearly definable learning outcomes and real take-away value.
He first discussed the benefits of project work before demonstrating several easy-to-manage single and multi-class projects that require little set up and that could be easily adapted to work with learners of almost any age or ability. In addition, he offered a number of techniques for having students share or present completed projects to classmates, as well as suggestions for encouraging both self and peer evaluation of project work.
