Project-based learning (PBL) is one of the Exploration that help to change Cambodia. Do you know why it help Cambodia? The meaning of the project-based learning is really strong and very good project for the learner to improve their skill and explore the real world. Our school is the project-based learning school and we do this for a very long time, but for the government school they are really different from our school. They didn’t have project based learning. They just sit in the class lesson to teacher, write the lesson down then go home. So they didn’t have much knowledge to see the real situation. So PBL group went to teach the students in the government school about Project-based learning to let them have a better knowledge. We went to one school in Kratie and one school in Phnom Penh (government school) to teach the teacher about the what is PBL, how to have a interview skill, how to do good presentation, how to have a good teamwork so the teacher can teach the student in government school about all the thing that we told them. Also we made one Facebook page name Project-based learning Liger. We made this facebook page because we want all Cambodian students and teachers to be able to get help and ideas on PBL. As you know, we went to teach the teachers in two government schools and we wanted to make sure they had a resource in case they or their students had any questions about the lessons we gave them. We found out that many Cambodian teachers and students do not have computers, but many have Facebook accounts.
