Once you put in project learning, then a lot of other things fall away because it's hard to do project learning without having communication with the students. You can't … do it in isolation. And obviously you're not doing things in the abstract … you end up having to work with other students, which is cooperative learning, which promotes emotional intelligence, which is actually much more important in the real world than a high degree of intellectual intelligence because what you're really doing is working with other people.
