newtechnetwork - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:07 PM EST

So what does "Authentic" mean? #pblchat

In reply to @remyrobitaille

PBLLAB Nov 15 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: Projects simulating or authentically allowing ss to do work that people actually do in various industries #PBLchat

nsulla Nov 15 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1) Real can be "authentic" (could possibly happen in the real world) or "relevant" (happening or could happen to you right now.) #PBLchat

"Authentic" may be having a community partner who is more than a panelist for presentation day. #pblchat

PBLLAB Nov 15 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1: 2 levels: true authenticity & simulated authenticity #pblchat

JaynePynes Nov 15 @ 8:11 PM EST

newtechnetwork - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:11 PM EST

Q2: Why do “real” projects? What does it gain that others don’t? #pblchat

remyrobitaille Nov 15 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: Students are more engaged! They have an immediate answer for "will i use this?" or "why does this matter?" #pblchat

craftEDcm Nov 15 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2 real projects give meaning to learning-answers "the why" for Ss-they see for themselves and therefore develop ownership #PBLchat

krenier Nov 15 @ 8:12 PM EST

"Simulated authenticity" = "fake real"...it could happen, but isn't really being asked of a community partner. #pblchat

A2: "Real" projects give purpose to the work. Learning becomes more organic and meaningful. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q3: Does project design look different for real projects? How? #pblchat

cynboyd12 Nov 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Real projects provide students with an opportunity to make a difference. #pblchat

krenier Nov 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: Yes! When the project is "real", the teacher doesn't necessarily know the outcome as the question has not yet been answered. #pblchat

KristaMclark Nov 15 @ 8:19 PM EST

need to relate the real in PBL to the real world that students live in, not what we think real 'should' look like #pblchat

remyrobitaille Nov 15 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: Real projects are often designed to support community partnerships. Can create higher stakes & motivate students. #pblchat

craftEDcm Nov 15 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 planning def looks different for real-world exploration ! #pblchat https://t.co/xJsUvX0XMp

agreed-different ways to "arrive" #PBLchat

In reply to @smroseberg

Mr_Kevin_Gant Nov 15 @ 8:23 PM EST

Community resources/professionals become design partners: they tell the teacher what they need, and tchr can interpret. #pblchat

PBLLAB Nov 15 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3: So different! Although u can take any solid project guidelines & use it as a template 4 ss & community partner 2fill in 2gether #pblchat

craftEDcm Nov 15 @ 8:23 PM EST

agreed-can be time-consuming and overwhelming! #PBLchat

In reply to @Mr_Kevin_Gant

nsulla Nov 15 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3) Real projects are curricularly messier because the problem drives learning (not backed into curriculum) #pblchat https://t.co/cxLnRQZuWw

krenier Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

This is challenging, but so worth the time and effort! Ss appreciate the community partners and "real" work. #pblchat

In reply to @Mr_Kevin_Gant

A3: it’s very challenging for tchrs who are being held to ‘old school’ district course pacing guides. Blah! #pblchat

Mr_Kevin_Gant Nov 15 @ 8:26 PM EST

Yes. Teachers often need help developing those partnerships. This is a great use of PTSA. #pblchat

Students venturing too far off topic when designing and presenting PBL projects to their audiences #pblchat

StarfishEmily Nov 15 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4 Forgetting the project was about learning or forgetting an authentic audience Ss need their work to mean something and be real #pblchat

JaynePynes Nov 15 @ 8:35 PM EST

Stay on top of current issues, neighborhood, city, state, nation, world--lead students to those issues, then ask 4 ideas #pblchat

Mr_Kevin_Gant Nov 15 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: Staying inside the classroom for the duration of your "authentic" project. Go see the world! #pblchat

PBLLAB Nov 15 @ 8:37 PM EST

Q4: With several sections of the same course it can be logistically tricky to bring in the community partners to consult w/teams #pblchat

LeahRossHenry Nov 15 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4 if you want the students to create something meaningful, you better be ready to go all in with your facilitation of their NTKs #pblchat
