A1) PBL means putting the kids in charge. Get them started on something fun and let the learning begin. #5thchat

MichelleHaider1 Sep 26 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Hosting #5thchat is amazing. I see why moderators say this moves FAST.

PaulSolarz - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 - PBL allows students to learn actively rather than passively. They discover connections along the way & work towards a goal. #5thchat

teachcaudill Sep 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

I don't give rubrics either. A few basic guidelines and that's it. Rest is up to them. Make Ss do the thinking! #5thchat

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

Stella_Pollard Sep 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

It was a huge shift in my mindset, but it was so worth it. #5thchat

How does grading work when you PBL with your students? #edcampSD #edCampYosemite #5thchat

#5thchat A4b Comes down to determining via objective evidence that the training took & behavior has been influenced.. surveys & observation

MrNasife Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: I usually design a rubric that grades the process, final product and student reflection questions. #5thchat

teachcaudill Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

I can really see how that would work during science. Have you thought about having them explain it to another teacher? #5thchat.

In reply to @Grandinettirsd

I've done that some too. Really helps especially with parents. #5thchat. Have you had Ss design the rubric?
