I'm aware of the DI full def - most Ts aren't. What do we mean by traditional teaching? It's more than DI, right? #divergED

A4 Ss will make the tangible connection of “learning to life experience” as they move beyond the rote knowledge of schools past #divergED

EdTechPeck Feb 7 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4. Ts and SS will make unexpected discoveries along the way. #divergED

A4 + Ss confidence and ownership for their own learning, - not always easy to easy to keep track when you are starting out. #divergED

Don't undervalue the qualities that PBL creates in Ss that we can't see- the process itself is an extraordinary tool #divergED

WeberEducation - Moderator Feb 7 @ 8:30 PM EST

Perhaps other elements of trad "schooling" that deserve attention are schedules & grading...& how they impact PBL-based approaches #divergED

Ss need to explore learning in relevant situations. Create meaningful learning experiences, not just cover the content #diverged

WeberEducation - Moderator Feb 7 @ 8:32 PM EST

Regarding feedback, I thick it spans all approaches, traditional and new and it fundamental. Specific, immediate, growth mindset #divergED
