When Fine and Mehta set off to find examples of deeper learning, they assumed they would find it in places that had been ostensibly set up for that purpose, innovative schools built on a foundation of project-based learning, exclusive schools that were known for strong academic programs, and charters that had reported remarkable academic gains.

But one day, on a walk, they found a Little Free Library — a small, public book exchange that looked like a house.

In this panel, four learning scientists share the evidence and how edtech can help make it a reality. Libraries as Maker Magnets. What happens in a Future Ready Library? Learn from librarians and educational leaders how libraries engage learners with authentic STEM, computational thinking, and project-based learning.

More recently, Van Meter has been diving deeply into project-based learning, standards-based grading, competency-based education, and flexible, modular schedules in which students can exercise some choice and determine how much time they need to spend on their various learning endeavors. Real projects.

This journey demonstrates some answers we have found—multi-age elementary school spaces, high school team programs with the four core subjects taught together, libraries transformed into active Learning Commons, and technology tools that facilitate connectivity with the world, creativity and production, and interactive project-based learning.

This computing device return-and-repair ritual looks different from the end-of-year textbook and library book return that was a staple of decades past. The COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of emergency remote learning dramatically accelerated the push toward 1:1 computing initiatives that was already underway.

But ironically, a fixed syllabus of readings and assignments for open-ended project-based learning courses may prevent us from capitalizing on “teachable moments.”. In the learning sciences, teachable moments go by many names: impasse-driven learning, preparation of future learning, desirable difficulties, or productive failure.
