Traditional teaching methods focused on lower-order thinking skills like memorization through authoritarian instruction.

The document proposes a revised project method where students work independently on in-depth, complex and real-world projects over time while teachers guide and facilitate. Examples of higher-level IT-based projects include resource-based assignments, simple creations and guided hypermedia projects.
