In reply to @newtechnetwork

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Let's get into our topic! Q1: What might you see in a classroom, or how would you know, when a project is going wrong? #pblchat

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: students not getting along. Poor group dynamics. #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Q1:hmm so many possibilities... #pblchat

KristaMclark Apr 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1) students disengaged, off topic #pblchat

JessieJPyle Apr 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: One student carry the workload and non-engaged students. #pblchat

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Off task students, high volume of questions, lack of engagement, lack of positive collaboration & communication #pblchat

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Confusion (as opposed to chaos) or inertia/lack of activity #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

+1 to that. RT @KristaMclark: A1) students disengaged, off topic #pblchat

In reply to @KristaMclark

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#pblchat This is not an easy question. Often people think chaos = bad project. Not necessarily. Going wrong = going through the motions.

In reply to @newtechnetwork

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Like your distinction between confusion and chaos there. #pblchat

In reply to @inspirepassion

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Ss have trouble explaining the why #pblchat

Luzgriselda Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

DISENGAGEMENT, makes me feel I can't compete with their cell phone #pblchat

marlflite Apr 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: just like when you know your own children are up to no good...when it's quiet. #pblchat

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

haha! So true! #pblchat

In reply to @marlflite

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

which suggests you must be asking your kids "why" a bunch! #pblchat

In reply to @MrsRisnersClass

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

2: No depth. Students can answer the driving question without doing any thinking. They are just repeating what you want to hear. #PBLChat

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Quality of student work isn't where you want it to be #pblchat

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:11 PM EDT

My teachers said this is the most helpful PBL chart we've seen. #PBLchat

In reply to @Getting_Smart

ReadySetBrette Apr 18 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: there's a moment early in the project when you realize the NTKs (and thus initial inquiry) isn't what you'd hoped for #PBLchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Let's get into our topic! Q1: What might you see in a classroom, or how would you know, when a project is going wrong? #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

OK...let's look at these closer. Q2: When you see that students are not engaged, what are possible options for improving that? #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: when learning becomes a chore rather than an experience or a step to get somewhere greater #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#pblchat Disengagement getting some votes - what can cause it?

KristaMclark Apr 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

So awesome to see @johnlBIE at #pblchat!

krenier Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Revisit Need to Knows to help refocus the learning. #pblchat

erikmray Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Hi all! Second grade teacher from Vista Unified #pblchat A1: when there is a lack of pensivity.

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

How DO you compete with those cell phones for engagement? #pblchat

In reply to @Luzgriselda

Rdene915 Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#FlipgridFever I have them replying about #pbl #pblchat and also speaking assessments, conversations

In reply to @rrrrrrrrrrrrosa, @flipgrid

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: My personal favorite with the workshop model to see where the fallout in understanding or lack of direction is at for the Ss. #pblchat

amandau27 Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Hi #pblchat. Principal from AL. Huge supporter of #PBL & implementing @MaryBAustin A1: Ts taking over vs facilitating student discourse.

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Collaboration with your team and students. Real conversations about why it's bad #pblchat

mrsvonstein Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Going back to the driving question, Need to Knows, etc. Refocus. #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Check in with students to assess if you need to make changes. Student voice is important! #pblchat

mandy_teacher Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: regroup, ask Ss to share where they are, where they should be and possible reasons for being off task. Discuss briefly and go! #PBLChat

Luzgriselda Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

modify the driving question, bring the class back together #pblchat

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Dig for the learning experiences. Failure teaches also. #PBLchat

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 when ss produce for me and not themselves. They seek a product instead of investing in a process. #pblchat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: Increase student voice and choice to increase engagement.#PBLchat

JessieJPyle Apr 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Grouping students together meaningfully, so each group has a mix and not the same mindset. #pblchat

A2: Dep some on age of Ss, but in gen, go back to the drawing board. Ask Ss ?s, figure out where disconnect is, revise accordingly. #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Get students exploring the why -- especially in their own life or community #PBLChat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Can you say more about that? #pblchat

In reply to @glbspringer

HeySchack Apr 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: stop in the tracks and assess the problem again. What are the goals and why aren't we seeing them. #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

JessieJPyle Apr 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: Also, giving students a wide variety of ways to complete the project so they can show their interests and talents. #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#pblchat If project not authentic, Ss may feel it's "fake" and not engage- https://t.co/dIQDJRvmlz

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Disengagement can result from students being afraid to own failure and learn from it. Create environment where failure is ok. #PBLchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 pose questions that connect passions with purpose. #pblchat

erikmray Apr 18 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Yes! @remyrobitaille A2: ask the students what they need #pblchat

ReadySetBrette Apr 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Something important here in that teacher is being honest/transparent, not pretending the project is still on track #pblchat

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: If students aren't engaged, perhaps the project doesn't matter to them. Is the project authentic? #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Students need purpose. No real life purpose to apply learning, no drive to learn #pblchat

Learn21Tech Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Hello #pblchat Lisa from Pittsburgh here - head of school at a #PBL school.. A2: make sure it's relevant and scaffolded appropriately.

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#pblchat They don't feel connect and they don't know its purpose. Even the biggest cheerleader can't sell an unauthentic, meaningless idea.

In reply to @johnlBIE

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

"Fake" includes topics Ss don't relate to, even if they are real world. #pblchat

In reply to @johnlBIE

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Yes to others responses. Ask your students! Good piece from @Mr_Kevin_Gant https://t.co/1sfzSZvECR #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Put yourself in their shoes! What did you want to learn about? #pblchat

marlflite Apr 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@readysetbrette Nailed it. If it's not ok for us to fail, how can we expect Ss to do feel comfortable doing so? #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

We cannot lose the rigor, however, kids need to know that tough is good. This is especially true for low-income students. #PBLChat

Learn21Tech Apr 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

We like using #design as our framework for #PBL which often means Ss are writing the driving Qs or "challenge statement" #pblchat

HeySchack Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

some of the best saves are when we acknowledge that the project is broken & ask Ss where we need to fix. #pblchat

In reply to @ReadySetBrette

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Like that...disengagement as a measure of how effective your scaffolding is/isn't. #pblchat

In reply to @Learn21Tech

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

a2: Proj. authentic to the facilitator not to the students. Consider what students believe to be authentic.They can spot a fake.#PBLchat

krenier Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Ask yourself the question, "Would I want to be a student in my own classroom?" #pblchat

In reply to @MrsRisnersClass

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

There is always a purpose for learning. It's our job help our students see it though a creative lens! #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

It is our job to convince a population who doesn't think they are (or can be) good students, that they can be... #PBLChat

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Yes! Give them permission to have a voice! They have probably been wondering and problem solving all along. #PBLchat

In reply to @HeySchack, @ReadySetBrette

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

OK...next question. Q3: How can you support student teams to improve group dynamics when they are struggling? #pblchat

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Curious...why is this more true for low-income Ss than others? #pblchat

In reply to @MatthewSwenson1

ReadySetBrette Apr 18 @ 8:23 PM EDT

And perhaps to show students that the things they are already making sense of are important and relevant to pursue deeply together #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

It is our job to convince a population who doesn't think they are (or can be) good students, that they can be... #PBLChat

erikmray Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: refer back to the team contract or agreements #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Support healthy conversation with conflict. Encourage honesty. #crucialconversations #pblchat

krenier Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: Identify team members' strengths. Have Ss assess themselves on the collaboration rubric. Where can they grow? #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork

mrsvonstein Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Absolutely! #pblchat

In reply to @erikmray

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: Creation of group contracts & safe conversation spaces to follow the protocols in place when teams are not working effectively! #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Like it! Have any good stems or strategies you use for that? #pblchat

In reply to @MrsRisnersClass

mandy_teacher Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: collaboration rubric review as group with my support #PBLChat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

a3: We use exit tickets as a way to gauge teams. Students are more apt to discuss group contract issues and dynamics. #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#pblchat Or to put Matt's question another way, how can you build effective teams?

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Constant academically-focused feedback. Feedback, feedback, feedback. Often in the form of a well-placed question. #PBLChat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Start with what is good on the team! #brightspots #pblchat

ReadySetBrette Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: students must see each of their peers as having a valuable idea or process to learn from #PBLchat often must be shown by teacher @ first

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

OK...next question. Q3: How can you support student teams to improve group dynamics when they are struggling? #pblchat

KristaMclark Apr 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: Establish a safe classroom environment, so students are not afraid to share their honest opinions. #pblchat

Learn21Tech Apr 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: all Ss learn their Strengths, develop team norms and assess themselves - see @HFA_IDL class feed for examples. #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

How have you done that? #pblchat

In reply to @JessieJPyle

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 let them struggle. Provide opportunities to share out to other ss along the journey so that they can feel & reflect on struggle. #pblchat

HeySchack Apr 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: we focus around what each member brings to the team via strengths. Largely focus on the unique lens each brings to the team. #pblchat

HogwartsatRHES Apr 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3:Teamwork rubric and complete understanding of the 4 Cs before,during and after project #pblchat

Learn21Tech Apr 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

dovolkmann Apr 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: I use seven norms of collaborative learning from HHMI/NABT Bio conf -have students reflect on the norm they need to work on #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

#pblchat Process check-ins, yes! w exit slips, journals, regular "how we doing?" discussions w teams & whole class..

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:30 PM EDT

I like to use, "what if..." or "what might change if...?" Or "suppose that..." to initiate a different perspective/approach. #pblchat

Thinking about group dynamics. Q4: How do you support students with special needs, ELL, low-skilled, introverts, etc.? #pblchat

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3:Team creation can give Ss a voice 2 create teams that they believe will be effective, but can lead to the most ineffective teams.#pblchat

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: Introverts: multiple methods of communication. #PBLchat

glbspringer Apr 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: Sp Needs: Tools! Implement tech tools and make them the experts at using them. #PBLchat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

a4: PBL is language as action and a perfect environment for ELs to actively learn language. #PBLchat

HeySchack Apr 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

love how knowing these empowers students and teachers. #pblchat

In reply to @Learn21Tech, @StrengthsFinder

ReadySetBrette Apr 18 @ 8:33 PM EDT

First, help them achieve success. Build confidence. There are always others willing to support their peers #pblchat

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4 best part about a classroom that is project based, is all ss become learners, not labels. Differentiation is part of the process #pblchat

A4: It truly takes a village to provide personalization & differentiation for ALL Ss - rely on the specialists in your building! #PBLChat

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:36 PM EDT

If you take a "studio based" approach to PBL learners can select roles best suited/they are most passionate about. #pblchat

A4 4 introverts collaboration doesn't always mean group work. Ss need time to be independent thinkers to effectively collaborate #pblchat

A5: Sync up with colleagues and do some critical friends first! #PBLchat

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 - I saw a teacher tag a kid w #aspergers to be a "consultant" in lieu of being in a team. He loved it & collaborated a TON! #pblchat

JessieJPyle Apr 18 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A5: Making a rubric that details all of the teacher's expectations is a good start and making sure students understand it. #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Listen to their confusion, then ask questions to figure out where the confusion lies. #pblchat

AndrewBiros Apr 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5: Revisit the entry doc. Do another one that adds more clarity, and adds to Knows/NTKs #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Lack of clarity is OK sometimes! You need to build trust. If students trust you and the process, awesome things can happen. #PBLChat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Sometimes asking what is unclear leads to self found clarity. Some times we just need to explain #pblchat

A5: I'm a believer in revisiting Problem Statements and Driving Questions. Good post from @HortonAlix https://t.co/QyxsFIRKgt #pblchat

MatthewSwenson1 Apr 18 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A great project slowly lifts the fog -- and then there is that amazing moment of aha #PBLChat

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A5: As soon as see confusion, stop, find out why by asking Ss questions. Regroup/refine/redefine accordingly. #pblchat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:44 PM EDT

a5: Correctly identify the confusion then involve the students in finding clarity. #pblchat

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Q5:Collaboration among Ss & myself to provide insight on confusion, then ask guiding questions to get Ss back on track. #PBLChat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Revisit problem statements daily!!! Exactly! #pblchat

AndrewBiros Apr 18 @ 8:45 PM EDT

These are the WHY of a project. #PBLchat #goldencircle

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 - Seek to understand with the kids, honestly reflect on whether and how the project could be improved, adjust as needed #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

#pblchat Showing Ss models (but not exactly what they're to create) help makes expectations more concrete

kristatroyer Apr 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

I've never redone an entry event. Have you had success w/that? I agree that reviewing K/NTKs is a good place to clear up confusion. #pblchat

In reply to @AndrewBiros

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5:Revisit entry doc, important ideas, DQ, Knows/Need to Knows, key documents, & critical friends can also bring clarity to Ss. #PBLChat

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 I realize that I did not explain it clear, as opposed to you don't get it. Talk it through. Ask q's more than provide answers. #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I use problem statement for each phase. Some times they change weekly or even daily! #teamproblemstatement #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Well-said. Gets at some good equity ideas and notions of power in the classroom too. #pblchat

In reply to @epesART

AndrewBiros Apr 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I've seen folks be successful with it! It can simply just be another 'letter' from whomever Ss are designing project for. #PBLchat

In reply to @kristatroyer

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Yes totally, entry event add-ons! Love those... Keep purpose at the forefront and prompt adjustments to ship steering along the way #pblchat

In reply to @kristatroyer, @AndrewBiros

erikmray Apr 18 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: revisit or reword long term/short term learning targets, make them more student friendly #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Q6: If the quality of student work is poor during a project, what might you do to improve that? #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Reflection. Maybe we need to think about how we are delivering the information #pblchat

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6 -first off, if you're aware of that BEFORE the end of a project, kuddos to your formative assessment and drafting along the way! #pblchat

HogwartsatRHES Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Q6:Model model model #pblchat

marlflite Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: I see Ss work as a reflection of my teaching. Revisit my approach! #pblchat

erikmray Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: identify anonymous work samples and hold an in-depth critique #pblchat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: Using rubrics and exemplars gives learners a clearer understanding of expectations. #pblchat

JessieJPyle Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: Encourage students to find ways to incorporate their passions into the project and show examples #pblchat

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Q6: Critical friends, project rubrics, & small group workshops w/ guiding questions to encourage deeper thinking about their work. #PBLChat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: See pretty much anything from @RonBergerEL - good piece on peer critique https://t.co/0tqpcvR2f0 #pblchat

AndrewBiros Apr 18 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Without purpose, Ss are just 'doing work.' #PBLchat

In reply to @charitypbl, @kristatroyer

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:52 PM EDT

I find student work is poor when authenticity is absent. High expectation is also important #pblchat

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6: Have Ss self-assess and peer-assess work against rubric. Ask them if they are proud of their work. Encourage iterations. #pblchat

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6 - critique real world models of the medium of work collaboratively w the kids. #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

#pblchat Lots of critique & revision along the way helps! Got to slow down usual pace of "turning in work" Ss are used to in non-PBL setting

inspirepassion Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Best piece EVER on peer critique! #pblchat

A6: See pretty much anything from @RonBergerEL - good piece on peer critique https://t.co/0tqpcvR2f0 #pblchat

charitypbl Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6 - Perhaps enlist real world experts in field to look at ss' drafts and provide feedback based on prompts created by the kids #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6: Seems like responses are a mix of leverage the rubric, get feedback, and build back in some authentic/personal connection. #pblchat

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Highlight students who do great work. Show it as an exemplary work sample. Encourage through positive reinforcement #pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

#pblchat Public audience ups quality!

AndrewBiros Apr 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6: Script the critical moves w/a single point rubric & provide a model as an example. #PBLchat

sheilabhudson Apr 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

a6: Your form.e assessments must connect to learning outcomes in the project pathway. Give feedback and help student use feedback.#pblchat

johnlBIE Apr 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

#pblchat Here's a blog I wrote about ensuring quality in PBL https://t.co/3EJXpfuCiU

MrsRisnersClass Apr 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

I find the higher my expectation, the better quality work I get! #pblchat

kristatroyer Apr 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Used this video in class as students are finishing projects & pairing with others for feedback. Student work improved a lot. #pblchat

In reply to @newtechnetwork, @RonBergerEL

mandy_teacher Apr 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6: my Ss had a better end product when I didn't set a concrete deadline and they were able to pace their project. Best results yet #PBLChat

Letting students know you believe in their ability to creat great work and that you will be there to support them is everything #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:57 PM EDT

OK...wrapping up. Q7: What are your takeaways from tonight’s chat? #pblchat

epesART Apr 18 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6 Pause project. How might it be different if_ suppose you_what if you added_ have ss finish these statements to inspire ideas #pblchat

remyrobitaille Apr 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A6: Projects can go wrong and that's ok! #FailForward #pblchat

Wow! Such great ideas! I feel empowered knowing that we are all on the same page! #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Apr 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@epesART has me thinking...teacher humility might be the starting point for righting a project that has gone wrong. #pblchat

mrslewis3c Apr 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Q7:It is truly about our Ss & knowing them as learners to provide the most authentic experience, even if it goes wrong sometimes. #pblchat

marlflite Apr 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A7: Perspective! Interesting points of view for sure! Thanks everyone! #pblchat
