Methodology

Structuring student-centered inquiry across disciplines

A proven approach to the problem-solving process

Based on cognitive research, the Project Pals methodology focuses on the three most powerful contributors to improved student understanding: external problem representation, computational thinking, and design thinking. Our methodology helps structure students' approach to problem solving across subjects and provides an effective framework guide for project-based learning.

Ask Questions

Driving questions focus student inquiries, and question maps allow students to refine questions into an organized, visual representation.

Explore Resources

Upload documents, import Google docs, and attach online articles to a project or assignment for student reference.

Create Content

Easy-to-use content tools empower students to create project assets in the interactive workspace, thus demonstrating their knowledge and thought process.

Components & Events

Students learn to break problems down into component parts and document processes and timelines of events—an integral part of computational thinking.

Visualize Relationships

Building a mind map enables students to identify patterns and relationships between project assets.

Analyze & Conclude

Students drag-and-drop project assets to compare and contrast information, create a structured analysis, and reach reasoned conclusions.

Present Findings

Students design digital posters or slide decks, choosing relevant information for their audience, and by presenting it, hone essential communication skills.
