  Question 2: What fears and/or challenges do you face when planning #PBL ? #ADWchat
jellyrace Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: student choice, relevant, reflection, engaging #adwteach
TechMcNorris22 - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

Yeah! Hi Liz!!! #ADwTeach #ADwchat

HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

#ADWteach Yes, I have experienced similar reaction.

  Question 3: How have to planned for #collaboration time for Ss and/or colleagues? #ADWchat
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

And it is so much time! But teachers like control-ok. I like control. #adwteach #adwchat
In reply to @SciOrlandi
TechMcNorris22 - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: starting can often times be the hold up as a teacher. “Where do I begin?” Or giving up “control”. We are creatures of habit. #ADWchat #ADWteach
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:12 PM EST

Thanks guys! I will be using both #ADWteach and #ADWchat tonight. Happy New Year!

A2: How much time should you plan for Project Based Learning? #ADWchat #adwteach
adwcurriculum Jan 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Worrying about assessing PBL #ADWchat #ADWteach
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

I don’t struggle with that as much because I don’t like to talk too much at my students. #adwteach #adwchat

A3: I was just reading today about a school that has a late start once a week for teachers to plan together for PBL. #ADWchat #ADWteach
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

Oh geez. I read sustained injury and could not figure out how that related to PBL. #adwchat #adwteach
In reply to @HoyasInEd
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

#ADWteach - Yes, I always found timing to collaborate challenging especially when the planning periods dont align.

  Question 4: What types of #PBL have you used? What worked well & what didn't? #ADWchat
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

What about showcasing the work for parents or for Catholic Schools Week? Perhaps even include QR codes? #ADWteach #ADWchat
In reply to @anneirwinedu
mmdetrick Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

A4: Maybe some examples? It’s been a long time...#ADWchat #adwteach #adwlearn
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

Agreed! Sometimes having the opportunity to collaborate with another #ADW school would be another ideal! #ADWChat #ADWTeach
In reply to @MrMillerSAS, @SciOrlandi, @StAugustineElem
SciOrlandi Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

A5: PBL really lends itself to differentiated instruction. I find that the Ss that may not do well on typical classroom work shine in PBL! They have more choices. #ADWchat #ADWteach
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:23 PM EST

A5. This. Exactly. And they can spend time on their strengths rather than striving for the correct answer. #adwchat #adwteach

This approach worked for the #Examen video project at HTS. Working with a copyright lawyer and my colleague in the Music Depart. #ADWteach Example: https://t.co/yuEx4sidh9

https://t.co/03hA1gpR4d - Here's a playlist on #PBL 101 for your use too. #ADWteach #ADWchat
In reply to @SciOrlandi, @mmdetrick
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:29 PM EST

Thanks for this #PBL source! Yeah! #ADWteach #ADWchat
In reply to @SciOrlandi, @mmdetrick
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:31 PM EST

A7: When working on long term #PBL I prefer using @TodaysMeet or @GoogleForEdu tools to have Ss reflect on practice #ADWteach #ADWchat
SciOrlandi Jan 10 @ 8:31 PM EST

A7: Frequent check-ins with groups to be sure they are on-track. The journey and the process matter even more than the final results. #ADWChat #ADWteach
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:33 PM EST

A7. The majority of my projects are cumulative. I use projects to reinforce what we’ve been doing in class. #adwchat #adwteach
In reply to @HoyasInEd
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:33 PM EST

These check-ins also help keep my Ss focused on the audience, especially if its for a missionary community. #ADWteach #ADWchat

@polleverywhere and @GetKahoot are great ways to quickly asses as well. #ADWTeach #ADwChat
In reply to @HoyasInEd, @TodaysMeet, @GoogleForEdu, @polleverywhere, @GetKahoot
SciOrlandi Jan 10 @ 8:34 PM EST

A7: I also assess how often students comment on each other's work and share encouragement and ideas. Edmodo is a good platform for this. #ADWchat #ADWteach
TechMcNorris22 - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:35 PM EST

Looking forward to visiting in the 19th! #ADWTeach #ADWChat
In reply to @anneirwinedu, @HoyasInEd
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:35 PM EST

Agreed! The tech that is selected usually comes from my Ss too. We assess the #edtech tools and decide pre-project. #ADWChat #ADWteach

Thanks to @GburgMD grant and our middle school students, @SMSCrusader K and 1st grade students enjoyed another Amazing Afternoon creating winter pictures looking through our windows. #ADWteach
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:36 PM EST

I love it when I learn something from them and let them know it. Ss seem shocked! It's part of the fun. #ADWTeach #ADWchat

HYRedmond Jan 10 @ 8:40 PM EST

Another great @FordsEdu Oratory session learning how to share ideas and words. @SMSCrusader students also created a board with interesting facts about Abraham Lincoln. #ADWteach
anneirwinedu Jan 10 @ 8:42 PM EST

A8. I try really hard to let them know it’s ok to not be perfect going into the project. And then to make them see their successes as we go through. #adwchat #adwteach
In reply to @HoyasInEd
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:42 PM EST

A8: Sometimes I do the project alongside them and show them my errors. #ADWteach #ADWchat
TechMcNorris22 - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:43 PM EST

A8: you show them that it’s okay to fail and assure them that there can be hundreds of right answers. It’s the journey that is important and no ones is the same. #ADWTeach #ADWchat
SciOrlandi Jan 10 @ 8:44 PM EST

A8: Great question! Modeling grit and emphasizing process and practice over results. @anneirwinedu is right: it is tough for perfectionist students.#ADWchat #ADWteach
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:44 PM EST

#ADWchat #ADWteach - Growth midset language is a must for me too.

  A9: Depends on #PBL ... for the stop motion projects Ss have their little buddies in Grades 1&2 but also international mission students
HoyasInEd Jan 10 @ 8:50 PM EST

Great suggestion! @TechMcNorris22 thoughts? Could be an excellent collaboration question. #ADWteach #ADWchat

SciOrlandi Jan 10 @ 8:52 PM EST

A9: Ask parents and friends for ideas, materials, guest speakers. There are so many people that are willing to help if you just ask. #ADWchat #ADWteach
