Edtechnerd Feb 9 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 For training, getting the Ts to see how it can integrate. They need to have their "aha moment" before they are sold #tntechchat

teachintechgal - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:07 PM EST

@tntechgal Hi Tina!!!!! #tntechchat

teachintechgal - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:07 PM EST

@Tibbstechcoach @chargerrific @Edtechnerd ahhh! No fair! #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:08 PM EST

@cordellcarterii A1 I don't really do PBL. My students pick their projects and the tools they want to use. But they write more #tntechchat

tcarey98 Feb 9 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: As a tech coach, its very difficult to convince teachers that STEAM/PBL will still allow them to teach their standards. #tntechchat

teachintechgal - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:08 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @cordellcarterii is it like SAMR? #tntechchat

Tibbstechcoach Feb 9 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: I don't have my own classroom right now but from what I see from Ts is TIME & sometimes resources. #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: I'm Implementing PBL in my soc. st. courses: biggest challenge is teaching s's inquiry/research skills. #tntechchat

cordellcarterii Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

@nathan_stevens That sounds like an ideal situation. So are you more of a facilitator/coach than an instructor? #tntechchat

@JaredBigham @cordellcarterii Welcome Jared #tntechchat

tcarey98 Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Ts have been drinking the standards based instruction kool-aid for too long. There are so many other effective pedagogies. #tntechchat

FHS_Anton Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

Also, I've presented PD on this, biggest challenge is getting t's to understand the why, PBL? I think. #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

@cordellcarterii I am a co-learning with the students. We do a lot that I am not sure about #tntechchat

Tibbstechcoach Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1-I have recently introduced my teachers to @pbl_project & I hope that it will help them see how easy and beneficial it can be #tntechchat

teachintechgal - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

@FHS_Anton how do you explain the why? #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

@teachintechgal #boom what is your favorite dipping sauce to go with students? #tntechchat https://t.co/8Qli7ReBcx

@nathan_stevens So everyone gets to learn! That is great, #studentagency #tntechchat

FHS_Anton Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

@teachintechgal All about engagement/interest--My data, via student surveys/feedback supports it. #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

@cordellcarterii my class is very much like an Edcamp #tntechchat

tntechgal Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

cordellcarterii Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

Q2: Do you feel supported by your instructional leader? If so, what are some examples? #tntechchat

Gregbagby Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1) Trying to get the other things out of the way so teachers can see and understand how to use PBL. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

@FHS_Anton Yes. So many students lack curiosity. Inspired teaching is essential. #tntechchat

Edtechnerd Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2 We have incredible instructional leaders at our schools. They are experts in their fields and project plan weekly with Ts #tntechchat

FHS_Anton Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

@tcarey98 For sure. Curiosity must be modeled in our classrooms for s's to buy in. #tntechchat

Tibbstechcoach Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1- I sometimes find that until Ts have a good understanding of PBL they think it is only for the advanced ss #pblforeveryone #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

@tntechgal as the teacher what they like to do and add it to class. Works with students too. #modeling #tntechchat https://t.co/zAnmErQ8pC

DavidJLockett Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

Just making it to #tntechchat thanks for the invite.

FHS_Anton Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@Gregbagby Also key. There's a difference between doing it, and doing it right. Takes commitment from t's to learn best methods. #tntechchat

@Gregbagby Isn't that half the battle? Teachers exist in convoluted envir that other professionasl wouldn't stand for IMHO #tntechchat

FHS_Anton Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

I think this can be addressed by reworking and combing standards. It all starts w/ long-term planning. #tntechchat https://t.co/kmmKwTqgSn

@FHS_Anton and a step out of comfort zone! #tntechchat
