Reinventing project-based learning

Reinventing Project-Based Learning was published in 2007 by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) as a strategic guide for educators navigating the integration of digital tools into classroom instruction. Written by Suzie Boss and Jane Krauss, the text emerged during a period of significant pedagogical shift where schools were increasingly tasked with preparing students for a technology-driven workforce through collaborative, inquiry-based experiences.

The authors designed the book to bridge the gap between abstract educational theory and daily classroom practice. By focusing on project-based learning (PBL) as a framework for sustained intellectual engagement, Boss and Krauss provided practitioners with roadmaps for project design, assessment strategies, and technology implementation. The book was well-received within the professional development sector, establishing itself as a foundational resource for educators seeking to transition from traditional lecture-based models to student-centered, technology-enhanced environments.
