pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@EducationPMC I like the "not Google-able" part. Too many questions are solved that way now. Take time to ask "what do you think?" #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary Great Q and not sure I have a good answer. Using rubrics to guide learning and show expectations is a place to start. #txed

angiegillikin Sep 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

PBL is linked to industry, solving a problem, research, etc that students will do in "real world". #TXed #pblchat https://t.co/6emx8z447h

@PrincipalOgg I think toughest parts are giving up some control and ensuring you are addressing your standards. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg @laffinglibrary I think that is a great step. It also will take understanding from Admin. #txed

laffinglibrary Sep 7 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PrincipalOgg @pwagnerlcisd I guess it is the real world/problem solving part that I struggle with #txed

A1: PBL goes deeper in concepts. Includes multiple applications. It is more meaningful. It has purpose #TXed #pblchat

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary @PrincipalOgg I think that is the part that gets kids excited the most too. They become passionate about their "cause" #txed

smenifee Sep 7 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: PBL gives students a chance to truly own their learning. #txed

wade4_wade Sep 7 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q 2 to deepen the learning, and most PBL is real world experiences. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary @PrincipalOgg @pwagnerlcisd look at standards- think of real-world (environmental, create a zoo, garden set-up, etc.) #txed

smenifee Sep 7 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary @PrincipalOgg @pwagnerlcisd @KelleyJAndrews I think our first PBL started w/asking Ss how they could make a difference.#txed

lilyelpaso Sep 7 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: Students need to learn by doing, not just by listening. PBL changes the teachers' role. We become more like coaches. #TXed #pblchat

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2-Again, having not dip my toe into the #PBL...I would thing the real world problem solving would be a big factor. #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2: We are preparing Ss for jobs that don't exist. They must become problem solvers and communicators. #PBL instill those qualities #txed

laffinglibrary Sep 7 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@smenifee @PrincipalOgg @pwagnerlcisd @KelleyJAndrews Was that in social studies? #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:04 PM EDT

I see people commenting that they do it during "down time" (kids out of room GT, etc). This is great for all Ss regardless of level. #txed

smenifee Sep 7 @ 10:04 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary We aimed for semester long projects. @KelleyJAndrews #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:04 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary I guess that would depend on the goal or understanding that you want the students to reach #TXed

@smenifee @KelleyJAndrews and when do they work on them? #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:05 PM EDT

Q4: How can you incorporate PBL in the classroom while still gathering grades that adhere to curriculum? #TXed #PBLchat

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:05 PM EDT

Don't think only "high performing" Ss should be involved. This is where your strugglers can gain momentum bringing ideas to table. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:06 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd it is! but, the ones gone are all doing similar things. not fair to only let "smart" labeled ones do it. :) #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 7 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A4: Rubrics and guides. Also find time during stations. It can be 10-15 minute intervals as long as you find more in-depth time too #txed

angiegillikin Sep 7 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Plan PBL to match TEKS, esp effective when Core & #CTE Ts collaborate, gives S the "ah-ha" connection #TXed #pblchat https://t.co/qzstzSXuVd
