Based UnitsIntel Education informs that:Authentic project work puts students in the driver's seat of their own learning. Itis important that instructors take advantage of curriculum developed by teachersin a large collection of Unit Plans that integrate technology. Models ofmeaningful classroom projects that integrate instruction in thinking skills alongwith tools and strategies for developing one’s own exemplary technology-supported learning are always encouraged. They focus on three areas:1. It is important to learn how project-based units can effectively engage students in meaningful work and promote higher-order thinking.2. It is necessary to see how questions and ongoing assessment keep project work focused on important learning goals

Forteachers in two New Jersey school districts, these are not imaginings; these are actualexperiences resulting from the introduction of engineering activities in their classrooms.As participants in the Engineering Our Future New Jersey (EOFNJ) Program, these teachers areamong the 2,400 elementary, middle, and high school educators in New Jersey who have beenintroduced to engineering concepts and curricula
