#sschat is a network of educators, resources, and ideas that started on Twitter, but has expanded to Facebook, an annual NCSS unconference, and more. Join us to chat asynchronously on Twitter or Facebook, or chat with us live on Mondays from 7-8pm EST.
PBL solves many riddles. It is easy to differentiate. It provides clear evidence of learning beyond content. The product focus is real world and relevant. #sschat

A1: #sschat At the heart of social studies, we want to develop Ss who are civically minded. #PBL gives Ss the potential to affect change in their communities & beyond.
A1: I believe that PBL allows for the information the students are covering to be more easily absorbed, as they are doing the research, finding and sorting the information for themselves. #sschat
It has to be an open-ended challenge that allows for multiple inquiry entry/exit points. Otherwise, it becomes just another project that is a research paper in disguise. #sschat

If it is open-ended enough, they can be repeated. 10 different classes of Ss should produce very different results if the question is truly written as an authentic, relevant, and complex challenge. @Proj_ARC#sschat
How Ss get there, isn't the point. The justification of their thinking is what matters. This should solidly reflect that the standards have been met & the challenge has been answered. Up to the T to scaffold & formatively assess this process. #sschat
We can't confuse requirements with structure. Too much structure & inquiry is lost. There shouldn't be a step-by-step guide. However, requirements happen in real life. #sschat
We have to be careful that Ss see an authentic reason for sharing their work. Ask: Is this the right audience that potentially can affect the change we want? Otherwise, Ss will see it as a waste of their time. #sschat

#PBL is the perfect pedagogical approach to ensure differentiation occurs. It isn't one-size fits all w/ one right answer. Formative assessment allows for changes in instruction as needed and for whom it is needed. #sschat
One of the services that @Proj_ARC does for its partners. Community asset mapping to develop relationships between business partners & schools with their curriculums. #sschat
I think the major misconception is that #pbl means you are 100% of the class time just doing project work. The reality is that scaffolding may mean that you have a variety of activities to support the PBL experience. #sschat

When it is needed & sometimes it is. However, we need to make sure it doesn’t happen before the introduction of the project or the inquiry doesn’t happen. #sschat

A6 - Ugly Better Cool - The first time you do a PBL it can be Ugly, the second time you fix some stuff and it is Better, The 3rd time they are pretty Cool. #sschat
Gotta run early - Thanks! Next time we do a PBL chat can we all share 2 or 3 specific PBLs? Would love to see the ideas and/or student products #sschat
Just released our PreK-3 version, with 4-8 & 9-12 on the way with @IBPBLJill on Developing Natural Curiosity through #PBL. We have lots of great examples;) #sschat
