Brandon talks about the similarities and differences between the two, as well as some common misconceptions about them. He also provides some guidance on how to get the most out of project and problem-based learning by increasing student choice, creatively reframing problems, and adding more fun to the process.Topics Covered in the Podcast:0:45 Intro3:15 Problem-based and project-based defined5:00 Creativity as an action7:30 Challenges in current PBL approaches10:00 Tackling solvable problems15:00 Testing and Iterating17:45 Encouraging risk-taking20:00 Reframing existing PBL opportunitiesThanks for listening to the podcast!
