In Think projects

 we can encourage students to work in a team
, such a work will develop collaborative
 skills and teach the students to think
and plan in advanced together,
also they will learn to divide the tasks among them
 and make them their own and first judges to their work and try hard to put their work in the right direction.
 Will teach students to learn how to answer questions by searching for answers themselves and also put questions for them selves in order to start solve the problem they are facing.
Each group will make it's best to come with new ideas, ones that no one think of it. Also working in a project will force them to learn some IT skills in order to get the final results in it's best

Project Learning Key Features

• Essential Question

The purpose of this question is to put the student in the front of a problem and activate his brain to find an answer or solve this problem. It's better to relate the Essential Question with the daily life and the environment of the student because this may help connect the student with his environment and make him feel s/he can make a difference

In this step we put standards in which we build activities upon these standards, make the student involved in trying to know what we know about the problem and the ways we can solve it.

• Work Plan

Here we specify step by step and in order the steps we will take to do the project and who will do each step.
