I am a Master of Education student at Walden University and new to this web blogging, yet agree with the idea of projects for use in application, analysis, and synthesis of real life applicable information. In my classroom experience, the more the student uses and "plays with" the material the more likely they will remember and make it part of their cognitive processes- the actual thinking about, application, and processing of the information makes it theirs!
