#PBL is such a great learning exp/ teaching tool! #ditchbook

Miss_Lievens Feb 23 @ 10:24 PM EST

A3: Project based learning! Give Ss guidelines and let them go from there! So cool to see which direction they take #ditchbook

MsSLNorth Feb 23 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3: Lots of choice; general structure, not prescribed, horizontal rather than vertical daily lesson/unit structure. #ditchbook

sandyrotto Feb 23 @ 10:21 PM EST

Next up are the Explorer gamers. Q3: How can we #ditchbook to better engage them? #xplap @jmattmiller @mrmatera @seanjfahey @rachelmarker

A2 "Socializing" is often a negative term at my school, can be challenging to design lessons to engage Ss in content over gossip #ditchbook

AubreyCopper Feb 23 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3 Give students a some guidelines and let them loose! PBL gives Ss freedom to take their learning in their own direction #ditchbook

tishrich Feb 23 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3: Culinary missions aka side quests give great opp for Ss to demo learning in a variety of ways! #Ditchbook

mrmatera Feb 23 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3: I like to give students challenges that are open ended. It is fun to see them explore answers to new questions that arise #ditchbook

sandyrotto Feb 23 @ 10:26 PM EST

Finally, we have the Griefer gamers & Q4. What are some ways to #ditchbook and engage them? #xplap @jmattmiller @mrmatera @seanjfahey

RemScience Feb 23 @ 10:26 PM EST

Pretty much. The AR lunch had 3 1st tri, 6 2nd, now onto 3rd. I have 15 Ss. #DitchBook

A3 cont: love hiding physical and digital Easter eggs that hold special clues that can give them advantage in the game #ditchbook

#Ditchbook My explorers are going to flip. Setting up #googleexpedition tomorrow.

mrlamkins Feb 23 @ 10:27 PM EST

Indeed. I love the brutal honesty that sometimes comes out. #lulearns #ditchbook

MViTDiTeach Feb 23 @ 10:19 PM EST

Always interesting to see how they "rate" each other as participants in group activity #ditchbook

A4: I sort of think this type of gaming can be counter to the type of culture I want in my classroom. #ditchbook

A3: I recently conducted a discussion-escape room style. The open focus was great for Explorer gamers. No right or wrong. #ditchbook

Nice. Looking good that everyone will get a chance! #Ditchbook

techcoachjuarez Feb 23 @ 10:28 PM EST

A4b: I like the competitive aspect, but I am wary of the "defending" which could be counter to a collaborative culture. #ditchbook

I'm not familiar with #geniushour but I will certainly have to look into it. #lulearns #ditchbook

MViTDiTeach Feb 23 @ 10:22 PM EST

A3: Activities like #geniushour allow explorers to seek new experiences on own, allow for Ss choice in all areas of classroom #ditchbook

MViTDiTeach Feb 23 @ 10:29 PM EST

Love! Can't wait for my Ss to get into ours, small set for large class though,:( #ditchbook
