Learn how to maximize the benefits of student-centered, project-based
learning in today’s technology-rich learning environment with the
HP Professional Learning Program
Project-based learning (PBL) in the classroom is not a new idea. What is new is the variety of ways technology can support and
extend its possibilities for collaboration, inquiry, creativity, critical thinking, data collection, analysis, construction and
communication – the skills and knowledge that today’s students require. The result can be transformative for both students
and teachers!
The HP Professional Learning Program is an online, content-rich, mentored program that provides educators with an
orientation to the use of technologies, techniques & proven strategies for success - to maximize the benefits of
project-based learning.
