A3: It's all about the verbs. Analyze, critique, compare, etc. So many ways for Ss to demonstrate what they have learned. #fwedchat

A3: Piggy-back Curriculum Framework plans with tech modifications and enhancements that meet tech TEKS #FWEdChat

A4: time. The feeling that they need to "cover" a certain amount of material. Lack of comfort in implementing PBL #fwedchat
