Project Based Learning shifts from the traditional teacher-centered to student centered, where in the main concern is the child and how learning would take place with the use of creating a project. Projects that are being implemented in classrooms can help the child learn because it is a hands-on learning process where the teacher will just be a facilitator and students are empowered to make decisions and apply their interests and passions to culminating products and performances. But the teacher who will use PBL is challenged to integrate technology to support learning. Also, the teacher must think of projects that has real world connection and may be used on a particular subject or activity. It must also cover or address the multiple learning styles. Teachers must have extra preparation and planning so that the goals or objectives will be achieved successfully. PBL is effective with giving students the important 21st century skills and connecting ideas across subject areas.
