A1 I think the best way is connect with other in your PLN to learn about . Twitter, Pinterest, Voxer.
A1 things may fail or take a little longer than you thought. Roll with it
Definitely have to be flexible and use those teachable moments!
A1 give students the chance to pick from a variety of tools to become good evaluators
All is well in in the world! Thanks.
A1)Sometimes the outcome isn't nearly as important as the process. Don't be afraid to fail. Embrace the struggles along the way.
Yes! Have to give students voice and choice!
Hey Nathan! Welcome to tonight!
With voice and choice, you might as well be lecturing

A2 The question is up the alley of and her inspiring work with !
Hey ! Renee White popping in & out for a bit. Sorry running late.
A2: I think the best way to connect PBL and stem/steam is giving Ss a task where they can create the solution some how.
A2 add fail points to where they have to know the inner workings to figure it out
. we are all well thanks!
Calling all to join us for right now! Great discussion on happening right now. Join us! Fun in progress.

A2: I think Ts have to think outside of the box and have Ss create things as much as possible to integrate STEM to PBL.
A2: Make it a required piece that just has to meet pre-set rules or goals. Then let Ss choose how to construct, share & compare.
Totally agree! I think creation is the key.
