- Making sure the learning is meaningful and that it is something the students truly care about.
- If the end result is not what the student expected the teacher has to be there to explain what may have happened.
- If the project is huge (like the Borneo Project) the students must be prepared to accept defeats and that things like this are a part of life.
- Problem based and project based projects take time, a lot of time, to plan and prep.
- Assessment can be a challenge.
- Tools, software, technology may not all be available.
- Community and school factors (parents may question this style of learning.)
There are many challenges to setting up something like this in the classroom but I am sure in the long run the success is worth the time and effort put forth.
