John Dewey, one of the principal designers of our educational system, had it right in 1850 when he noted, "If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow."
We no longer live in an industrial age where we must train workers to fill an incredibly narrow and limited role in an assembly line; a line where no thinking needed to take place and where critical thinking and solution oriented strategies were a hindrance, not a benefit.
The US Department of Commerce estimates that our students will have a new job every three years. It is also estimated that in the next ten years we will double our collective, global knowledge. Thus, we are preparing the students of today to tackle the problems of tomorrow with technologies that haven't been invented yet.
That's where PBL comes in.
