Q1: What should be included in a project roll-out? #pblchat

gldflcnmedic Oct 24 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1: Clear concise instructions with expectations. Nothing worse than not knowing where you are going #pblchat

craftEDcm Oct 24 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Does that include assessment stuff too?! #pblchat

ShannonSteimel Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 a great hook...the why...2 big pieces of #PBL rollout #pblchat

gldflcnmedic Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I think you should have at least one type of assess ready to go, maybe just formative but something #pblchat

In reply to @craftEDcm

mwniehoff Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Get them excited. Entry ever, past projects, potential partners, exhibitions/showcases.... #pblchat

funkdaddytweet Oct 24 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1) Open-endedness for voice & choice, “bread crumbs” for rigor, a “hook” for relevance, a DQ, deep discussion, roles, and fun! #PBLChat

"breadcrumbs" being key terms and ideas that you expect students will have "need to knows" about, right? #pblchat

In reply to @funkdaddytweet

MissVining17 Oct 24 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1. A project should involve clear expectations,what they are graded on, & what they should learn from the project, less stressful! #PBLChat

remyrobitaille Oct 24 @ 8:11 PM EDT

like the "bread crumbs" #pblchat

#pblchat Yes, have an assessment ready to go, but know that the ss are driving the learning with their NTKs

In reply to @gldflcnmedic, @craftEDcm

emma_weatherly Oct 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1) an authentic purpose should drive project roll out #PBLchat

funkdaddytweet Oct 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

That’s a big 10-4! Basically, hints or clues that kids can connect to but don’t fully understand yet that will help reach the end. #PBLChat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

craftEDcm Oct 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

YES and Love the idea of student facing assessment too! #pblchat

Nice script, can def be modified to fit future projects and of course the more times you do the less direction they need. #pblchat

Q2: What makes an entry event an “event”? #pblchat

remyrobitaille Oct 24 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Something relevant & meaningful to Ss. A community partner, a clear real-world tie, etc #pblchat

craftEDcm Oct 24 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2) has to be an "experience"-a real hook that includes inquiry, excitement & #deeperlearning out the gate! #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Q2: What makes an entry event an “event”? #pblchat

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

It has to be interesting to the ss, not the adults, which is where knowing your students is SO important #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

nhoverman Oct 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A surprise or twist that gets Ss thinking. #PBLChat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Q2: What makes an entry event an “event”? #pblchat

gldflcnmedic Oct 24 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: I think anything can be an entry event as long as the Ss are excited about it or it drives an inquiry. #pblchat

remyrobitaille Oct 24 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Agree! Just because you think students should think it is interesting, doesn't mean it will be! #pblchat

In reply to @LeahRossHenry, @newtechnetwork

craftEDcm Oct 24 @ 8:20 PM EDT

It could be interesting to both right?! #pblchat

In reply to @LeahRossHenry, @newtechnetwork

emma_weatherly Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2) when you get excited about an entry event the students will share that excitement. It helps if you dress the part too. #PBLChat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

of course! Those are my favorite ones! #pblchat

In reply to @craftEDcm, @LeahRossHenry

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Just thinking here... if it involves food, it probably scores high on this rubric: https://t.co/PuA6Ox5Tc6 :) #pblchat

gldflcnmedic Oct 24 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Think dressing up for major events should be a pre-req. #pblchat

In reply to @emma_weatherly

MissVining17 Oct 24 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2. It must be interesting & make the students excited about the project,know how they like to learn.They will put in more effort. #PBLChat

pblconsulting Oct 24 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Couldn't agree more, hopefully you will be so excited that the Ss can't help but feel a little tingly in their toes too #pblchat

emma_weatherly Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2) when you get excited about an entry event the students will share that excitement. It helps if you dress the part too. #PBLChat

no way there is a rubric for entry events-awesome! #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Ohhhh a rubric! This would also be good for critical friends feedback #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

BenTheHoff Oct 24 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Totally agree with the "real" hook. If it doesn't relate to students' real lives, they won't engage. #pblchat

In reply to @craftEDcm

I was thinking a level deeper-like it is situated in the real world or brings the real world in or Ss out...#pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Q4: What are the pros and cons of having just an entry document? i.e.. a letter from a business is your entry event #pblchat

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4: con would be that they are not personal, no accountability with paper and words #pblchat

funkdaddytweet Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4) Pro: TIME!!! Con: Risks Low Engagement Level #PBLChat

emma_weatherly Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4) pro = clear authentic purpose con= not as much depth and energy to start the project off with #PBLChat

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: pro would be that ss can pick the writing apart and gather K/NTKs at their own pace #pblchat

gldflcnmedic Oct 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4: I would question that a business letter cannot be personal, low engage, or low energy. What does the letter address? #pblchat

remyrobitaille Oct 24 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: Con = a lot of projects start with an entry document. Can get stale and not as engaging #pblchat

pblconsulting Oct 24 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: Sometimes I find it helpful to think in terms of what I might want in a staff meeting ..reading a letter or.. #pblchat

dannyburdess Oct 24 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Struggling to create authentic, engaging entry events for AP Wirld history. Ideas? #pblchat

MissVining17 Oct 24 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4. A pro is that the it has a clear, focused purpose. Con is that it is not engaging and exciting for them. #pblchat

See @remyrobitaille ‘s response... they get stale real quick if you are a 9th Fraser #beenthere :) #pblchat

In reply to @gldflcnmedic, @remyrobitaille

BenTheHoff Oct 24 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: I feel like it would be highly engaging if it's an actual request from someone the students will be working with. #pblchat

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT

See @remyrobitaille ‘s response the letters get real boring real quick if you’re a 9th grader #pblchat

In reply to @gldflcnmedic, @remyrobitaille

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Could be, but prove it’s real by having that person call in, make a video, etc.... #pblchat

In reply to @BenTheHoff

remyrobitaille Oct 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4: Pro would be the students can reference it throughout the project. Ensure they don't miss important information. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Q5: Where do you get inspiration for your entry events/project launches?? #pblchat

In reply to @LeahRossHenry, @remyrobitaille

katie_dunnett Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4: Pro: Students are able to connect with a project in a way they are used to #pblchat

emma_weatherly Oct 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: I get insporation for entry events by thinking about what is the most relevant event in the students lives. Ex. Solder Event #PBLChat

MissVining17 Oct 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5. I get inspiration for projects from previous learning experiences & activities that have influenced my learning positively #pblchat

LeahRossHenry Oct 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: I think about what the real problem is they are being asked to solve and then look for anything that will make that b realized #pblchat

A5: I get insporation for entry events by thinking about what is the most relevant event in the students lives. Ex. Solar Event #PBLChat

katie_dunnett Oct 24 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: I get inspiration from my former and current teachers #pblchat
