I’d like to include the notes I took at NECC 2008. These notes are from Innovative Project-Based Learning: Strategies from K-College. Presented by Christy G. Keeler, Ph.D. and Heather B. Rampton, M.Ed.
at the National Educational Computing Conference, San Antonio 2008
For sample activities, you may visit Keeler’s blog at http://keelerthoughts.blogspot.com.
