The document discusses project-based learning (PBL) and how it can be used in a digital age. It defines PBL and compares it to problem-based learning. The document outlines the seven essential elements of high-quality PBL and provides examples of how technology can enable these elements, including allowing repetition, individualization, and collaborative knowledge construction. An example is given of a PBL activity on reducing carbon footprints that incorporates various digital tools and meets the seven essential elements of PBL.
