Q1 Have you ever used or heard of either Project Based Learning or Problem Based Learning? Explain... #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg this will be an interesting chat! Not sure if I'm leaning on one side or the other yet #txed

When we fully professionalize teaching, we will fully personalize learning. #edchat #sblchat #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A1 Yes, I have done both. I like both for different reasons. :) pros/cons #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A1-I am coming familiar with Project Base Learning but I am new to the Problem side #TXed

IvantheAggie Sep 14 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A1:I'm familiar with Project based, but interested to know about problem based. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:40 PM EDT

What is the difference? #TXed https://t.co/AR8cTet40y

A1: I dabbled in what I think would be problem based learning years ago while still in classroom. Kids loved it. Designed new school. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg Problem starts with a problem to solve, so it is more real-world but can be tougher in a way #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg Problem can be good for controversial topics too. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:42 PM EDT

How I see it: Project based is more open for Ss to work on a passion. Problem based can have Ss all focused on same problem. #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie I suppose I've never called it "problem based learning" but ultimately it is giving the Ss a chance to solve problems #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Oh, well I have be doing problem solving for some time. #MathTeacherinMe #TXed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd that's a good point. There are unlimited ways to solve a problem, but a specific project is more focused #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie and probably more creative too. No boundaries or restrictions to solve the problem as opposed to guidelines in projects #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Question 2 is coming up! #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A1-I would think Teachers might find problem base learning a little easier to set up than project base learning #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q2 What are some of the differences between Problem Vs Project Based Learning? #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally @IvantheAggie yeah..projects have rubrics, so easier to grade though..ha! #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg that seems to be the biggest complaint in project based learning is the prep #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2 Problem based is usually shorter, tries to offer a solution instead of making something. Both are creative though #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2-Looks like one has a focus direction while another offers a wide variety of choice. #TXed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Speaking of grades, how do u grade a problem solving process? Creativity, solving the problem, process? @KelleyJAndrews @IvantheAggie #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2 yes, if you let students design their project, lots of choice! #txed

IvantheAggie Sep 14 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Brb, gotta drive home from dinner. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2-Both can offer collaboration and you can be creative in the process to reach your goal #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: Project based often has a longer timeline and more follow through. You should be seeing your project through. It can last years. #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie and we get so much more excitement, benefit and innovation with that freedom #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally @PrincipalOgg pose the prob, brainstorm ideas, pros and cons, make something, might have to even do design process! #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg yeah..i don't think either is bad. they both are great! #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

What if we did Problem and Project at the same time?!? #txed mind. blown.

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd makes me wonder if project based learning is the beginning of #geniushour gone rogue #txed

Question 3 is coming up! #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Q3 What are the similarities between Problem and Project Based Learning? #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@KelleyJAndrews when I've done projects, I tried to open up some freedoms to allow a variation of completed projects.Tied in interests #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A3-They both can be messy! 😜 #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A3 creativity, in depth thought process, more student led than lecture, collaboration, authentic learning #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg yes! and organized chaos. everyone is doing different things. but i love it! #txed

IvantheAggie Sep 14 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally freedom is always the answer! #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A3 Projects & problem based learning are typically team work, problem solving, collaboration, each person plays a vital part #txed

RidaOrtego Sep 14 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Using a variety of materials to make words! Tech is great but it can't replicate the smell & feel of @PlayDoh! #txed https://t.co/0J0HOt3b6W

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:00 PM EDT

A3: with both you as a teacher has to be open to things you would never dream of doing. Have to give up some control. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:01 PM EDT

A3 Cont: What you can get out of it though can blow your mind. Give kids choice and freedom. Mix with passion and see results! #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:01 PM EDT

So true, but it can dry up or not be available (funding), so tech can be a good back up if needed @RidaOrtego @PlayDoh #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:02 PM EDT

Those skills are what pretty much every business owner is looking for in an employee. Coincidence? #txed https://t.co/tX1pNfH6En

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A3 Projects & problem based learning are typically team work, problem solving, collaboration, each person plays a vital part #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd I never struggled with giving up control, but I'm not a perfectionist & don't need to know everything. My issue was time #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:04 PM EDT

Question 4 is coming up! #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

Q4 Do you think students prefer one type of PBL over another? Why or why not? #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd great point! I wonder if we need more employees or innovators being discovered in the classroom? #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd good businesses offer everyone a chance to use their strengths, but others seem to micromanage the employment terms #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A4-I am sure they do. That is the importance of knowing your students. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A4 I think Ss like both. they like making a difference just like adults, so i almost say problem based! #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A4-Some can handle the freedom while others might need a step by step guide #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg yes..the BIE website has good timeline templates, tasks, etc. #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A4 Some Ss want to know all the details while others like the freedom of variety. Seems GT Ss struggle without strict guidelines #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally innovators always! They are the ones who will be able to adapt to whatever job is thrown their way. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A4-Might also depend on the outcome. Problem base might help with time limits #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A4: It will depend on Ss for that year. Some will want more guidance so they want problem based. You are telling them what to solve. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg agreed. some projects can be done at home too. we had ss ask if they could miss recess to work on it! #sillykids #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A4 Cont: other years you may have the passionate and motivated class. They want project based because it is all about their passion. #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Question 5 is coming up! #TXed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd so very true. Looking at old yearbooks today & saw "productive" mentioned a lot. We certainly have greater goals now #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Q5 Do you think that either Problem or Project Based Learning is easier to plan and execute? #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:14 PM EDT

That's when you know your doing something right! @KelleyJAndrews @PrincipalOgg #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A5 Project is more established by teacher (more prep) while problem is more developed by Ss, but the grading would be more difficult #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A5 I think Project is easier...problem based the ss come up with solution. you guide their journey. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Not sure which is more difficult. Both will be difficult if you are not comfortable as a teacher working with rubrics. This is a must! #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally exactly!!!! so more work up front, or at the end for the teacher. even steven lol. #txed

JaimeDonally Sep 14 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@KelleyJAndrews great point. The work is so worth it when it's something the Ss are fully vested in & never forget #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@JaimeDonally my own fave school moments were student led. :) #txed
