Teachers sometimes give students too much independence—students have less than
adequate structure, guidelines, coaching, etc.
PITFALLS
Designing suitable tasks. What? How? Who?

Parents are not always supportive of projects.
Teachers without experience using technology as a cognitive tool may have
difficulty incorporating it into the projects.
Copying of projects from friends and books.
Aligning project goals with the curriculum can be difficult.
