MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:06 PM EST

Q1 How would you define project based learning? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:06 PM EST

@MichelleOReed I like the sound of the title Michelle. Maybe I should become just like you! #UTedChat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:07 PM EST

A1: off the cuff, I'd say PBL is designing the learning experience around the process of solving a problem. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:07 PM EST

PBL = Learning by doing rather than memorizing though testing. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:08 PM EST

A1 Having a central idea for making the learning more real-life. #UTedChat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:08 PM EST

A1 the same are doing/making something #utedchat

ksteedtech Feb 10 @ 11:08 PM EST

A1: #utedchat PBL is when Ss learn as they work on a project :) sounds kind of basic ;)

westlakepotter Feb 10 @ 11:08 PM EST

Finally remembered #utedchat, and excited to see PBL on the docket. Daniel Potter, Westlake High

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

Kyle here from Alpine, but actually in St. George right now awaiting to listen to the great @ToddWhitaker tomorrow. Way Excited! #Utedchat

MichelleOReed Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1: PBL is real-life learning, solving real problems. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

@westlakepotter Well, look who showed up tonight! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

I kinda like this definition of #PBL via the one and only @Covili! Thanks Jared! #UTedChat https://t.co/cdPrpiPtJS

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:07 PM EST

PBL = Learning by doing rather than memorizing though testing. #utedchat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1: PBL is problem solving, goal oriented - not rote memory. Usually involved creation & sometimes other peeps #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

@westlakepotter glad you could make it to #utedchat perfect topic for you to help us discuss

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

@MaripoZel @lars3eb I can't make it either - it's during my Spring Break - I have family commitments. #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1 Ss are doing/making something. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1 #utedchat Learn to live in the world. Plan at trip, get the bus, arrange the motel, find what you want to visit, save the $, how much $

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:09 PM EST

@Karkenkam How is the weather? I’m headed down for the weekend for some mountain biking and climbing. Will I need a jacket? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:10 PM EST

@Karkenkam @ToddWhitaker Woot woot! Way to be chillin' in the BEST part of the state! #UTedChat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:10 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Fantastic. Golfed today in 66 degrees. Weather great, golf game lacking. #utedchat

westlakepotter Feb 10 @ 11:10 PM EST

.@covili Ha ha, I can thank Parent-Teacher Conferences for wiping me out and making me lounge on Twitter. Good timing #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

@MaripoZel great examples, thing I like about PBL is you learn all the stuff you need to without that as the focus #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

@westlakepotter Hi Daniel #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

#utedchat joining the party late, but I'm here

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

@Chronicbeard @MaripoZel So sorry to hear that Ben! #UTedChat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

#utedchat A1 School is not preparation for life. School is life.

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

@lars3eb and it was awesome to spend some good time with you! #utedchat

lrusssfjh Feb 10 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1: I would add with real-world application #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:12 PM EST

@EdTecHakk @Karkenkam No Michael, you won't need a jacket here in my end of the state. I'll turn the heat up a little more though. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:12 PM EST

@lrusssfjh you should never have to ask 'why am I learning this' with PBL #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:12 PM EST

#utedchat A1 project based learning: student centered, student empowered

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

PBL, especially when it will be viewed/experienced by the public, raises student's minds to the value of the project #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

@MrJFawson @MaripoZel It creates a need to know things. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

A1: PBL = something we should do more but feel we don’t have enough time #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

@Karkenkam Thanks for coming over. Next time we'll have to meet over some tasty grub again! #UTedChat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

I've had about 100 ideas for sessions at #UCET this year, too bad, I'll have another year to get even more prepared. #utedchat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:14 PM EST

@lars3eb Too Right!! #utedchat

ucet Feb 10 @ 11:14 PM EST

The #UCET16 Gods are not pleased with this announcement Ben! You had better make other arrangements! #UTedChat https://t.co/KmuTmOs3aN

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:13 PM EST

I've had about 100 ideas for sessions at #UCET this year, too bad, I'll have another year to get even more prepared. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:15 PM EST

Q2 What are the benefits/advantages of project based learning? #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:15 PM EST

I'm curious how many Ts in #utedchat use PBL regularly in your classrooms?

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:15 PM EST

I think PBL must be planned, so that the experience doesn't feel planned. I also like presentation of the product too. #utedchat

bizrockstar Feb 10 @ 11:15 PM EST

#utedchat A1 some would say to be true #PBL =Gold Standard

westlakepotter Feb 10 @ 11:15 PM EST

Authentic audiences and exhibitions are crucial in PBL. Good call, @RHSTheatre #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

@lars3eb @Karkenkam grub or grubs? #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

A1 PBL is hands on thinking out of the box learning. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2 When learning is more involved than just reading & testing Ss end up learning more! Plus it makes school more fun! #UTedChat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

#utedchat PBL = authentic audience, connected to the community

ksteedtech Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2: benefits of PBL is the learning is contextualized. This authentication helps to transfer learning. #utedchat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2: PBL is real. Using knowledge to work on a project, a passion, a problem. Where student learning means more than just school. #utedchat

michelle_zey Feb 10 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2: Ss benefit when experience helps them make connections and gain understanding vs being told/ shown info #utedchat

nesplin6 Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: Kids love PBL! It helps keep kids excited about school and learning. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2 - Best part of PBL = high level of Ss engagement and learning. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

@Chronicbeard Such a key point, good PBL allows projects to be shared with a large audience, more than Ss and Ts and parents #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

When you DO or MAKE stuff you have better retention. Why not help Ss retain their learning for longer? #UTedChat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: I like how it can pull an abstract idea into a practical application/real world experience #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

@nesplin6 Hey there's another #washk12 face in the #UTedChat sea! Welcome aboard Nate!

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: Benefits of PBL: critical thinking, fun, energy, innovation, creativity, messes, failures, struggles. Just like life. #utedchat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:18 PM EST

@MaripoZel @lars3eb Depends on where we go! #utedchat #HakunaMatata

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:18 PM EST

@covili I try to do pbl at least several times a month. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:18 PM EST

#utedchat A2 Ss have a purpose. a real goal. A reason. They can SEE what needs to be done, if not, they want to figure it out. Relevant

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:18 PM EST

#utedchat A2: students have choice, choice motivates them, learning means more

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:18 PM EST

I like this answer instead PBL is projects that require collab, commun., and critical thinking https://t.co/XSrhgNz4qm #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@MrJFawson I have started inviting professionals to view projects. It ups the ante! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@RJLoweut Great point, making the abstract more applicable! Kind of like your profile pic, your'e a shadow! #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@covili Never have to say you need to know this cause its on the test, Ss learn because they want to #utedchat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@lars3eb #makerspace #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@Chronicbeard Do tell...#utedchat

lrusssfjh Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

A2: pbl also enables the st to become the T #utedchat

nesplin6 Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@lars3eb Jumped on Twitter just in time to see the #utedchat taking place!

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:19 PM EST

@lars3eb Couldn't agree more. I've learned way more about home repair from working on projects, not from watching This Old House #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

@covili the one school in my area is totally @expeditionary Learning. It's exciting to hear what they do. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

@lrusssfjh And isn't that what we should aim for with our Ss, for them to be able to teach what they learned? #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

#utedchat benefit of PBL , students discover what's working or not working on their own, instead of waiting for someone to tell them.

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

A2: Greatest benefit from PBL is authentic preparation for life / careers. #utedchat My world feels like 24/7 PBL.

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

@nesplin6 You better subscribe to the @RemindHQ so you can get reminded next time! #UTedChat https://t.co/XO3hhb1Q0I

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

A school play, can be broken down into smaller projects; students can join the area where they can shine as they contribute #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:20 PM EST

A2 Ss have to use knowledge & concepts together and not isolated like they learn it too often. #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

Tasha, math teacher in Garfield District, joining late! Pretty tired; not sure how much I'll contribute! #utedchat

bizrockstar Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

#utedchat A2 do you think there is a connection between service learning and #PBL ?

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

@davinaeliz Nothing prepares you more for real life when things don't work they way you thought they would and you have to fix it #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

@covili Wait a minute, you mean watching movies isn't as effective as actually DOING stuff? Time to refresh class plans. #UTedChat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

@nesplin6 @lars3eb Hey Nate! Good to see you. Going to #UAESP conference tomorrow? #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:22 PM EST

@RHSTheatre Love this idea. Not everyone needs to be the lead in the play to shine! All parts contribute to the production. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:22 PM EST

@lars3eb @covili How bout have your Ss make their own how to videos? and show those in class #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:23 PM EST

.@EdTecHakk Especially with finding ways to document that you're actually working so @Plumhof believes you! #UTedChat #DoubtingCody

nesplin6 Feb 10 @ 11:23 PM EST

@Karkenkam @lars3eb You bet! I will be at #UAESP and am excited to hear from one of my favorite educators @ToddWhitaker. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:23 PM EST

@MrJFawson @covili But I thought @BillNye was all I needed for teaching. Was I wrong? #UTedChat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:24 PM EST

@lrusssfjh Isn't that when Learning occurs, that ahah moment when they own the knowledge because they have shared it #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:24 PM EST

@MrJFawson @lars3eb So rather than watch This Old House, have students film an episode of them working on my house. Love it! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:24 PM EST

Q3 part A What can you do to make projects successful? #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 10 @ 11:24 PM EST

New science core includes a lot of engineering that is easily made into pbl #utedchat

Karkenkam Feb 10 @ 11:24 PM EST

@nesplin6 @lars3eb Me too! #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

Making movies is even better! #UTedChat https://t.co/7qnt5NOY1p

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:21 PM EST

@covili Wait a minute, you mean watching movies isn't as effective as actually DOING stuff? Time to refresh class plans. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

@lars3eb Sometimes it's nice to let your Ss be Bill Nye #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

@EdTecHakk @plumhof That was a pretty sweet pic of @Plumhof inception! Way to plan for the long game! #UTedChat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

I can't discount content knowledge though - a good base of contextual knowledge goes a long way to making PBL success. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

@bwe545 I have not yet seen new science core. Must look. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

A3 @westlakepotter mentioned it earlier - have an authentic audience! Nothing better than getting real recognition! #utedchat

MichelleOReed Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

A3: Let them fail. Watching kids do Lego League I want to jump in & show them how to fix it but it is so much better when I don't! #utedchat

westlakepotter Feb 10 @ 11:25 PM EST

#UTedChat A2: I just spent the weekend learning from @projectbreaker how design thinking makes PBL stupendous. https://t.co/4qYAFcJE1z

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

A3: have enough 'stuff/supplies' for the project, and maybe provide a hint-sheet if they get stuck along the way #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

#utedchat A3 rubrics! Better yet, have students help create rubrics

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

@davinaeliz "Teacher, What do I do next!" or "I'm done!" Phrases I loathe .... #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

@MrJFawson I actually helped @Gandersen07 do that when I was student-teaching. It was pretty rad! #UTedChat #CanIStillSayRad

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

@Chronicbeard Right, when it's well planned Ss learn the content as they work on the project, it's organic. #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:26 PM EST

A3 I like what someone said about planning well enough to make PBL seem unplanned. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

@covili @MrJFawson But don't you have to worry about child labor laws with that? Or is it cool b/c it's part of school? #UTedChat

ksteedtech Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3: #utedchat Projects should be answering a question or exploration

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3: Success in PBL = Strong content knowledge, engaging prompts, room for failure, design thinking, collaboration, accountability. #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

I have been able to include all disciplines in plays. No matter what your thing is, there is way. #UTedChat https://t.co/aVsJui4PQR

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:22 PM EST

@RHSTheatre Love this idea. Not everyone needs to be the lead in the play to shine! All parts contribute to the production. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

@michelle_zey @EdTecHakk @plumhof You mean you didn't like seeing the proof he was actually working too? I loved it! #UTedChat

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:27 PM EST

#utedchat A3 feedback from peers, teach them to share with each other what they like and what they could do different

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

A3: I like what @Chronicbeard said - you have to plan the projects so they don’t seem planned. #utedchat Authenticity is impossible to fake.

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

#utedchat A3 Be positive. Be confident. Hardest of all - Release some control!

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

A3 Stand out of the way! @marcprensky said it this way, give the Ss a challenge with these words, "Surprise Me!" #utedchat

michelle_zey Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

A3: PBL = success when Ss are involved with choice and design. Making meaning must happen for those doing the learning #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

A3a The best way to success in anything is through lots & lots of planning! And then being willing to throw them all away. #UTedChat #PBL

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:29 PM EST

@MrJFawson @lars3eb why settle for Bill Nye, I want to be Newton, Einstein or Galileo (HBirthday on 15 Feb) #utedchat #smartee

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:29 PM EST

@MaripoZel Can be hard when Ss have choice and pick something different than we would, but it's imp to allow them choice. #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:29 PM EST

...We send them the fixed mindset that you are either right or wrong...#utedchat https://t.co/d2GzOv2nDw

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:28 PM EST

@Chronicbeard Funny that in PBL we encourage failure, cause it's not really failure it's learning, but when in comes to testing...#utechat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:29 PM EST

@RHSTheatre Love this idea. Not everyone needs to be the lead in the play to shine! All parts contribute to the production. #utedchat

michelle_zey Feb 10 @ 11:30 PM EST

A3: note there is a difference between authentic and sloppy. You still must plan and backup plan for PBL success #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

#utedchat A3 Sometimes they learn a lesson different than the one you planned. Maybe even a better lesson. https://t.co/7RgoYDORH4

@RHSTheatre The World is the Stage of this generation, let's give the Ss opportunities to practice. #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

@ronaldfisher Tried "surprise me" tactic with reading response...Ss did much more and a better job than usual. Need to do again #utedchat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

A3: allow for experimentation and multiple interpretations, & try, try again :) #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

@RHSTheatre Do it. That’s brilliant. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

@michelle_zey agreed, that's why I like them to create something they have to present to an authentic audience, clean things up #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:31 PM EST

@Chronicbeard You're 100% correct. You have to have a base knowledge to do great things. Nothing wrong with that! #UTedChat #PBL

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:32 PM EST

@lars3eb Only because You have a plan B, and a Plan C, ... you've worked out the details. #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:32 PM EST

A3 Pt B - I am currently working on a project to design products for migrants/refugees. Ss need context of issue to solve. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:35 PM EST

Q4 How do you assess student learning in the process of project based learning? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:35 PM EST

@MaripoZel @ronaldfisher @MrJFawson Sir Isaac Newton. He has a HUGE shrine at #WestminsterAbbey. Really cool! #UTedChat

bizrockstar Feb 10 @ 11:35 PM EST

So can you gamify #PBL #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:35 PM EST

A3a: Scaffold for success. Give plenty of examples. Let students fail and try, try again! #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:36 PM EST

@EdTecHakk I'd get some students in on that! #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:36 PM EST

@chronic ears Get with me on this. I might be able to help you get the products to them. #UTedChat https://t.co/yT1AsKj5zz

#utedchat A3 - my dream project: school garden, composting and recycling, ss responsible for every aspect.

@DaniKSloan There's that word fail again. First attempt in learning, not failing at all #utedchat

A4: Have a rubric that students have from the beginning, include research goals, time management, and final project. #utedchat

westlakepotter Feb 10 @ 11:37 PM EST

@bizrockstar Badges and portfolios could make a powerful PBL combo #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:37 PM EST

@michelle_zey And like @RonaldFisher said earlier, you have to have a plan A, B, C ... Plus be willing to throw them all out! #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Right on, have parts due each week, so that its not the classic science fair project done the night before #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

@MrJFawson It's ok to fail and admit failure! People who are resilient fail and bounce back quickly! #utedchat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4: rubrics - and yes let students know the rubric 'up front' - expectations after the fact are no fun #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4 Assess? in PBL? really?? No A grade should not be connected tok authentic learning!!! @RickWormeli #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4: PBL assessment = Formative process check-in, collaboration, meeting deadlines. Summative via rubrics, public presentation. #utedchat

MichelleOReed Feb 10 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4: Have a rubric. Also have Ss check in from time to time. Evaluate how things are going & changes that can be made. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:39 PM EST

A4 What an excellent question! I have no idea! Please help me gather the necessary knowledge to make this possible! #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:39 PM EST

@MichelleOReed Good use of a Google Form to have Ss fill it out and then you know where you need to spend your time #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:39 PM EST

A4: It's important to develop method to assess individuals in a group, not the group as a whole. Difficult but important. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:39 PM EST

@bizrockstar Explain: I see that PBL is the content, by side Challenges that is where #gamification takes place #XPLAP #utedchat

@MrJFawson @DaniKSloan Or maybe instead it's Frequent Attempts In Learnng? #UTedChat

MichelleOReed Feb 10 @ 11:40 PM EST

@MrJFawson That's exactly how I have done it! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:40 PM EST

@DaniKSloan which ironically isn't really failing at all #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:40 PM EST

Can't wait to learn about #STEAM and #PBL from @GingerLewman at #ucet16 next month. #utedchat

michelle_zey Feb 10 @ 11:40 PM EST

A4: start by asking Ss to assess themselves. They are ironically very honest or harder on themselves most often. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:40 PM EST

@ronaldfisher Call it assessment.. Or feedback...Or check in conversations..How else will students know they're on the right path? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:41 PM EST

@ronaldfisher @RickWormeli I must be really tired Ron b/c I totally didn't read your first word as Assess at all! #UTedChat #GoToBedTime

davinaeliz Feb 10 @ 11:41 PM EST

#utedchat A4 teach students to self assess

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:41 PM EST

@lars3eb @michelle_zey @RonaldFisher No don't throw them away, come on we discussed #growthmindset about a month ago, #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:42 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Touche! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:42 PM EST

@davinaeliz such an important skill that can really only be learned through experience #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:42 PM EST

@ronaldfisher @michelle_zey I mean throw the plans out when the Ss have MUCH better ones anyways. See, #GrowthMindset after all! #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:43 PM EST

Q5 What is the teacher’s role in project based learning? #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:43 PM EST

@lars3eb LOL do you need some Java? #utedchat

bizrockstar Feb 10 @ 11:43 PM EST

So I do use rubrics sometimes but does anyone else feel rubrics can limit some students #utedchat

@ronaldfisher I do have an update that need to run, but I'll wait until #UTedChat ends. :) #NerdHumor #HereAllNight

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:44 PM EST

A5: Observe. Challenge. Question. Guide. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:44 PM EST

@bizrockstar They can, I even worry about showing examples, sometimes you end up with cookie cutter work #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:44 PM EST

A5 I think the teacher completes 80% of work before projects begin. Providing structure for Ss is key Ts role in PBL. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 10 @ 11:44 PM EST

@bizrockstar only if that is the only part of the discussion! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:44 PM EST

A5 Doesn't #PBL mean the teacher doesn't do anything? I thought it meant I could take a nap or something. #UTedChat

lrusssfjh Feb 10 @ 11:45 PM EST

A 5: facilitate, scaffold, model, consultation #utedchat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:45 PM EST

A5: The knowledgeable observer - there to guide, and encourage, but don't be too 'involved' it's the Ss project not yours! #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:46 PM EST

A5 The teacher's role is a roving, morphing supervisor / motivator #utedchat https://t.co/UPqweX6boB

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:43 PM EST

Q5 What is the teacher’s role in project based learning? #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:46 PM EST

@lars3eb nope, the nap has to come during Bill Nye, of course! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:46 PM EST

@RJLoweut nice, need to stretch the student as well, push them to reach a place they may not get on their own #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:46 PM EST

A5: Planner, Guide, Cheerleader, Critic, Questioner. I try to make everything I say during PBL a thinkable question. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:47 PM EST

Or is this the teacher role during #PBL? I'm so confused. #UTedChat https://t.co/tiLOMZm8Th

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:48 PM EST

@Chronicbeard can you give an example? #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:48 PM EST

It's a little of everything - a "Puppy Monkey Baby" type of thing. #utedchat https://t.co/WvT59SmHKe

@tbarnlrn Of course, how could I forget? We show movies so we can take quick power naps! Thanks for the reminder! #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:49 PM EST

A5: I can’t remember where I heard it first, but I like the phrase “Meddler In The Middle” for teacher role in PBL #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 10 @ 11:49 PM EST

@RJLoweut Thank you for your sagaciousness during our ANTIGONE newscasts PBL escapade. 😊 #utedchat https://t.co/2jPBKGSOlq

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:49 PM EST

@Chronicbeard Was wondering when we would get the first puppy monkey baby reference #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:49 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Thanks just because you like to be in the middle of all the trouble & such. Right @Michelle_Zey? #UTedChat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:50 PM EST

@lars3eb Which is also why we have to yell at the kids sometimes: if the nap isn't long enough, it helps wake us up! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:51 PM EST

@EdTecHakk It is a cool phrase, and does describe our work environment #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:51 PM EST

Q6 How can teachers build a classroom culture that promotes student independence? #utedchat

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:51 PM EST

"What were you thinking made you decide to make/do/solve it that way?" #utedchat https://t.co/ynHceXRuWY

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:52 PM EST

@Chronicbeard I think reflection is such a key part of education that gets overlooked and underused much of the time #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:52 PM EST

A6: By allowing & providing activities for Ss to think. No independent thinker should have to ask if it's ok to sharpen a pencil. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:52 PM EST

@lars3eb There’s a difference between “being in the middle” and “being a catalyst”. And you sir, are a corrosive element. #utedchat ;-)

MaripoZel Feb 10 @ 11:52 PM EST

#utedchat A6 Acceptance. Safe to take risks. Teaming. Kindness and comraderie.

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:53 PM EST

@EdTecHakk I have learned from one of the VERY best. And of course I mean @covili! #UTedChat

RJLoweut Feb 10 @ 11:53 PM EST

A6: Just reading 'The Multiplayer Classroom' - I love the self paced & encouragement to fail/retry (learn) aspects. #utedchat

bizrockstar Feb 10 @ 11:54 PM EST

@ronaldfisher could do group #PBL with game/competition infra groups-Could it be crowd sourced world wide international contest #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:54 PM EST

A6: Did you say “Independence”? @DaniKSloan cue the Liberty Bell Picture!!! #utedchat #fawsonmissedit #philadelphia #libertybell

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:54 PM EST

A6 Trust & openness. That and showing the Ss that no one, not even you the all mighty & handsome teacher is infallable. #UTedChat #TrueStory

Chronicbeard Feb 10 @ 11:54 PM EST

A6 I'm in agreement with @DaniKSloan - space and time to allow Ss to think. Also a safe place to have Ss explain their thinking. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:55 PM EST

@covili @MrJFawson @Chronicbeard See, you only feel that way b/c you were an English teacher. All the science teachers were cool! #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:55 PM EST

@bizrockstar @ronaldfisher This is making me think that PBL and Gamification are two key ingredients to student success #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:55 PM EST

@Chronicbeard @DaniKSloan Ss should never feel that they are dumb by asking questions. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:56 PM EST

@DaniKSloan That's why I just have them pre-sharpened. That & the students kept breaking my sharpener, like all. the. time! #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 10 @ 11:56 PM EST

Thank your for joining us tonight at #utedchat Next week we will be joined by Jami Gardner and discuss Utah Futures

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 10 @ 11:57 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Wait, or were you the corrosive one and @Covili the calming one? I don't remember, but one of those things. #UTedChat

tbarnlrn Feb 10 @ 11:57 PM EST

A6 I often ask Ss, "what would you like ME to do to help you with that?" Helps them refine Qs for me. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 10 @ 11:57 PM EST

@lars3eb Maybe you should have a PBL project on fixing small machines? #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 10 @ 11:57 PM EST

@MrJFawson Thanks for a great #utedchat hosting. You got a lot of people thinking differently about PBL tonight!
