Q1: How do you authentically integrate text into your project design? #pblchat

ScottMillmanEDU Mar 29 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Hi from the sunny Sunshine Coast of Australia. #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 - Texts used to research NTKS and model future products #pblchat

HeySchack Mar 29 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#PBLchat A1: my first question is HOW does this text help push student thinking? Then where is the best place for that push?

@kyndra_johnson @Kenya_Wilson31 @NKeithBlend https://t.co/mMBJGEBWbQ

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Fiction or non-fiction texts that relate to the topic and enhance understanding. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@DrTrinilicious Could you give an example or two? #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 - Sci papers analyzed to study how scientists formulate and solve problems #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: For clarity, I would benefit from understanding what you mean by "integrate text." #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@krenier I feel like "enhance understanding" is key #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: I think text can be topical or thematic but still choice based in PBL so Ss are motivated by their input/voice #PBLchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@inspirepassion Integrate text = include text as part of a PBL project #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: for current project going, using text to suggest arguments Ss should address in their work, or as another avenue of research #PBLchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@DrTrinilicious Love the authenticity this brings (along with rigor)! #pblchat

Ckscott3math Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 - Not clear on how to "integrate text" in regards to math? #pblchat #ed585q

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A good understanding to have! #PBLchat https://t.co/iRXAEhBn7n

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 - Sci papers analyzed to study how scientists formulate and solve problems #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Text is how we learn about a topic-Must be related and motivating. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Ckscott3math Great question! What do you consider text in math? Could graphs be text? #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Related to Q1: Do you get your project idea first and then come up with ideas for possible text? Or visa versa? #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 -Ss analyze key parts of science papers and notice style elements to learn tech writing genre #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1b: IMHO projects should focus on where you live or a positive change you want to see in your world = text is secondary #PBLchat

ScottMillmanEDU Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: I use fewer texts, but the texts are more thoughtful & intentional. Not just new information; more provocations & challenges #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 - Typically come up with project idea first and then search for text models that relate to ideal products #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@Ckscott3math What level of math? I feel elementary is probably easier than secondary #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: Texts are integrated into all my ss/ela proj. Not nec books, online research, video, etc. #pblchat

RaRaPenguin Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#pblchat Renee White from NC checking in for a bit.

StoryShares Mar 29 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Ss use our book creation tool to create their own text & publish stories before an online audience for feedback & discussion #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork project idea first, then look for resources. #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Heh. I stumble across things & go, "Hey this fits perfectly with . . ." #KeepMyEyesOpen #HappyAccidents #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork @Ckscott3math I think graphs & charts are key parts of textual evidence in science and math #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@laurabyno Funny how after you start #PBL, everything we see can either be a project or connect to a project #pblchat

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1: It's important for students to read with a purpose. #pblchat

PrincipalTreece Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Project first then achieve depth through text. #pblchat

HeySchack Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#pblchat A1: whenever I've started with a text first the project feels forced.

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@inspirepassion Such a wide range of "text" - feels authentic to the range of text we experience in our every day lives #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Exactly! #pblchat https://t.co/eysn7EqPc7

@laurabyno Funny how after you start #PBL, everything we see can either be a project or connect to a project #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@HeySchack I've noticed this too with a lot of teachers I've worked with. Maybe a point of caution even? #pblchat

Ckscott3math Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@tgaik Much graphing in Alg and Trig. Analyzing linear, quadratic, or exponential regressions or inverse trig functions. #pblchat #ed585q

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I am always hunting 4 quality text/resources 2 go w/projects- challenge!At times start w/text because of lack of resources. #pblchat

Connaway_QHES Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork A1 project ideas first & then possible texts. #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

a1: well chosen keystone text can help form the DQ, balancing authentic content and authentic inquiry #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q2: What do you do to ensure reading is an authentic student “need to know”? #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork @inspirepassion and authentic to the idea that all courses evolved different ways of thinking -> different texts #pblchat

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@HeySchack Agreed! Text should support, not drive the project. #pblchat

mthompson2003 Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Exactly! This is very important. @alspiegel #pblchat #GE502 https://t.co/cS8fG5iX9b

@krenier Yes! Would love to hear more about this for Q2 #pblchat

HeySchack Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork IMO text first is an easy trap especially for ELA classes.Could quickly turn into traditional style of instruction #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@HeySchack Can quickly become "doing a project" instead of doing PBL #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Depends on the big question/focus - if the text is necessary to answer/understand then Ss will be driven to read for success. #PBLchat

RaRaPenguin Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: offer choices & suggestions to guide my 1st graders. #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 start w/motivating project/problem & a hook. Make them want to read to learn more/deeper. Ss need to know the why. #pblchat

Topp_History Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Q2: Make sure the text is in line with the lesson and unit objectives #pblchat

PrincipalTreece Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2 PBL has to have the flexibility of student voice and the depth necessary for #deeperlearning #pblchat relevance is critical

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

it’s a manipulation, but all exposure to content is no? this gives a prompted starting point for inquiry #pblchat https://t.co/1ZacZynStE

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Related to Q1: Do you get your project idea first and then come up with ideas for possible text? Or visa versa? #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Critical friends - I show text to a coach or co-teacher, make sure it is valid for proj. #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2 - Select texts that double as info sources & models for end products #pblchat

RaRaPenguin Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: Have Ss collaboratively Coke up with digging Qs aligned to DQ to guide their reading too. #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@DrTrinilicious "models for end products" a great consideration #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: Reading is directly relevant to being able to answer the driving question. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@tgaik @DrTrinilicious Yes, seems like a way to authentically integrate organization and grammar too #pblchat

Connaway_QHES Mar 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2 fiction texts are not "need to know" but support authentic learning unit while higher order questions help reach the standards #PBLchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

enough close looking (maybe a STW routine, or COV) stirs a flow of inquiry, affinity grouping creates EQ’s #pblchat https://t.co/zznkX7znC2

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q2: What do you do to ensure reading is an authentic student “need to know”? #pblchat

Ckscott3math Mar 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2: Giving students choices that align with project. #pblchat #ed585q

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2: Reading is authentic when it serves a purpose for the students in moving them forward in their understanding of the topic. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@laurabyno I would imagine another teacher outside of your content area could be especially helpful for this. #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2 - If possible, pick texts that are provocative and/or funny and relate to DQ #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork @DrTrinilicious reading with a writer's eye, so important! #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

yes! and I like “hooking" with different medias, series of photos, physical artifacts, film clips, improv #pblchat https://t.co/ZblweEtw14

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 start w/motivating project/problem & a hook. Make them want to read to learn more/deeper. Ss need to know the why. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@krenier Yes! There seems to be something important about cultivating a classroom of experts with deep understanding of the topic. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@Connaway_QHES More often than not, I see projects, or the reading, flop if the text is disconnected #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A2: Try to pick reading assignments as relatable and understanding as possible--Have to be a discussion starter as well #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

yes! & was just thinking on “fantasy narratives” can drive us to the real problems https://t.co/oT0MOx18dq #pblchat https://t.co/putVWsiuwY

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2 - If possible, pick texts that are provocative and/or funny and relate to DQ #pblchat

Q3: How do you include student voice & choice with reading in projects? This one has started to come up already. #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#pblchat I work with second graders and half of my Ss are ELLs. Any background knowledge I can provide helps all students with project.

felixst Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A2 Connect students with mentors. Texts recommended by mentors are usually well received. #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

.@FHS_Anton Yes, if a text gets class throwing ideas at each other, then it's doing its job #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

a2: … more on this fantasy narrative approach… @DrTrinilicious https://t.co/5VoFppY4WD #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@McCarville2B Using multiple passages on the same topic helps build background knowledge for sure! #pblchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 Teach Ss how to ID good texts and then use those skills to research NTKs from interesting & valid sources #pblchat

RaRaPenguin Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3: Ss pick resources as long as gathering info for DQ it's all good! #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Hopping into #PBLchat a little late! Voice & choice can be offered by providing good resources & options for ways to present what they know

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Recently been tossing this idea around. And have Ss bring results for whole class discussion #pblchat https://t.co/C2wfoVK4Q4

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 Teach Ss how to ID good texts and then use those skills to research NTKs from interesting & valid sources #pblchat

Connaway_QHES Mar 29 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork we have used historical fiction texts that support our ALU and also find nonfiction texts as paired reading to HF #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: I provide op-eds that can spark debate, or cover multiple aspects of topic to provide s's w/ bckgd and offer choice in research #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: I did a PBL w/sophs - 3 books options, had to determine whether or not their choice belonged in curriculum - options all around #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Has anyone tried lit circles with a variety of books connected to the Driving Question? #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: I like providing controlled choice- both good & bad resources so Ss become critical consumers of text- authentic life skill #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: Depends on focus, but if ELA-only, could incorporate film, graphic forms, podcasts, etc. Loved https://t.co/OtC1BfP4HB #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@FHS_Anton I've use op-eds to help teach rhetoric - same skills reached via different texts #pblchat

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Not always easy, but when possible, offer Ss choice of text on same topic. This give students options of what text to read. #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3 Set up project so the choice of text will meet standard u hope to measure. Can't 'teach Shakespeare to 5yr olds w/out Shakes! #PBLchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork I have - it's worked really well! #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:36 PM EDT

#pblchat I gather all levels of books and let students pick according to their interest at or close to their level. https://t.co/h5w4AUXIkw

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Q3: How do you include student voice & choice with reading in projects? This one has started to come up already. #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:36 PM EDT

yes! bridging disciplines the indirect route of narrative, which I think creates stickier deeper processing #pblchat https://t.co/BJGnVNFLtV

HeySchack Mar 29 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#pblchat A3: we did a banned books project with Jrs that all selected their own book from the ALA challenged and banned list.

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels Especially helpful as model if they use research to back up ops. Try to stay away from infotainment sources for sure! #pblchat

Ckscott3math Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A3: Using info from Ss interest surveys and giving Ss choices. #pblchat #ed585q

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@HeySchack we ended up exploring that subject in my American Lit class - almost ALL of those books end up on the list #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels @newtechnetwork I am curious about this idea. Expand & explain? Can it apply to science? #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@FHS_Anton we stick to the New York Times op-ed page #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A3 to provide voice- have to begin with a good project with breadth and depth where Ss can have a voice in their learning path #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:38 PM EDT

.@HeySchack Love it! What student wouldn't want to read something they are not 'supposed to'? #PBLchat

StoryShares Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Our students publish their own stories for peers. Building text themselves improves lit & results in relevant, relatable content. #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@krenier When choice of text isn't possible, I wonder about choice of discussion format/protocol? #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels I like to use NPR as well. #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#pblchat I currently have 2nd graders in book clubs based on our project "The Ever Changing World " https://t.co/4r4V6q5krc

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork Absolutely! No reason there couldn't be various formats for discussion about the text. #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Mr_Ullman Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@McCarville2B @newtechnetwork I've done book clubs centered around social issues. Thinking about turning into PBL...#pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@teacherslens project I've done that had the highest level of engagement in sci had a narrative. Ss bought into the story %100 #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@HeySchack Magic! Well done! #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Q4: How do you differentiate for different reading levels when mixing text, PBL, and group work? #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@krenier @newtechnetwork I provide my Ss w/lists of possible discussion protocols - they select what works for them #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels @krenier @newtechnetwork Any favorite protocols for this? #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 I think someone has already mentioned it but NEWSELA is great! #PBLchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

a3: … stopping points and the media changes, in this case the storyboard drove a flurry of inquiry/research #pblchat https://t.co/BKK7AP1uNi

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

I would argue every human experience has a #story tied to it. #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4 Again, student choice helps differentiate well (Most Ss won't pick something well beyond their own level) #PBLchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4 - Offer sources at different lexile levels that deal with same topics #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: In research process, s's can answer driving questions using/finding sources that work best for them, then share/cite. #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#pblchat interesting how did that help Ss with project? https://t.co/3HAFXO66fx

HeySchack Mar 29 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#pblchat A3: we did a banned books project with Jrs that all selected their own book from the ALA challenged and banned list.

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

I agree with this! Ss choose their comfort level #pblchat https://t.co/GCybYp7TUb

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 I think someone has already mentioned it but NEWSELA is great! #PBLchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4 - Offer more scaffolding on denser texts in form of graphic orgs and related discussions #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

yes! and when the mentors are real professionals out in the world, using the interview to launch inquiry #pblchat https://t.co/VUAumPoHKC

felixst Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A2 Connect students with mentors. Texts recommended by mentors are usually well received. #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4 You can also have one text and just use the extension TLDR to differentiate by Ss levels #PBLchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4 to truly deepen understanding of a topic we need to read multiple perspectives- a natural reason for diff. levels, texts etc. #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork I'm a fan of the Final Word protocol - requires preparation from all participants, asks Ss to dig deep into text #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@mcculloughmg Agreed -- strategic selection of choices for students can take care of differentiation too #pblchat

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork @Mrs_Krapels @newtechnetwork https://t.co/7olLRF4S6k #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@tgaik Especially important in the Social Studies and when integrating them in curriculum! #pblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@tgaik Lends itself to needing other member's of a group too, especially if each person in the group gathers different perspectives #pblchat

A4: Use many "text" forms. Also, students investigate at their level. The basic information will be constant. #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#pblchat I try to put a mix of high readers, low readers, ELLs, of like interest in a group. Supporting each other. https://t.co/jgKlSa1CFS

Q4: How do you differentiate for different reading levels when mixing text, PBL, and group work? #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

One of the great aspects of the protocols being shared is anyone can participate - no opting out #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@inspirepassion important for Ss to see that constant information in multiple texts.Esp. in different structures&for diff. purposes #pblchat

Ckscott3math Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A4 - Lexile level, scaffolding, graphic organizers and grouping different levels of Ss together. #pblchat #ed585q

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A4: Just an idea here--Have s's do research, looking for articles on perspective/information, then put on a class shared Google doc #pblchat

teacherslens Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

a4: recently tried balancing this, students contributed to a communal script from their collective note taking, then audio tracks #pblchat

newtechnetwork - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@tgaik @inspirepassion A jigsaw-type structure would work for this #pblchat

FHS_Anton Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A4 cont.: Then s's can choose an amount to look into and summarize info or build on their research from there. #pblchat

inspirepassion Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@tgaik yes, and learn what to do when the constancy isn't so constant :-). #pblchat

tgaik Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@newtechnetwork @inspirepassion Or socratic seminar where all Ss answer driving Qs but use their unique resources #pblchat

@newtechnetwork A1: From a student view, it seemed like the most fun and cohesive projects started as ideas first, text later. #pblchat

Last question: What are your take-aways from tonight’s chat? #pblchat

McCarville2B Mar 29 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@tgaik @newtechnetwork @inspirepassion I love the "Socratic Smackdown" https://t.co/sQoA9HnYhM #PBLchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@tgaik @newtechnetwork @inspirepassion SS FTW! split into 2 groups, one assesses the others' ability to adhere to discussion norms #pblchat

krenier Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Take-away: So many ways for students to engage with text! We need to keep it fresh for them. #pblchat

mcculloughmg Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

The Final Word Protocol was new to me! Will be sharing w/ @onsted_hs staff! #PBLchat

DrTrinilicious Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A4 I like the idea of affinity grouping and liked seeing the Final Word protocol #pblchat

laurabyno Mar 29 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Takeaway: gave me many more ideas for text, firmed up some I was playing with! #pblchat
