  • mrpscarver Feb 13 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1) #pbl is about learning through the project. Projects are for completing a task. #ksedchat
  • AmyHuntGB Feb 13 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1: I think PBL goes deeper than just a project for an assignment and makes meaningful connections #ksedchat
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1) Here's how I see the difference... Can you guess which is #PBL and which is doing a project? #ksedchat
  • karalu79 Feb 13 @ 9:07 PM EST

    In reply to @LemarrTreadwell
  • Toothpick_Bevis Feb 13 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1: project based learning is focused on increase in knowledge, not the product itself as in most projects #ksedchat
  • D_Cordell_LMS Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Q1 I plan on using #PBL as a summative assessment to cover written historical argumentation for my 8th graders. #ksedchat

  • JasonKohls Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Good evening #ksedchat! Jason from Buhler HS. ELA.
  • bmcd25 Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 Projects alone are often an end to a journey. Project Based Learning is the journey. So to me, Projects=assessment PBL=learning #ksedchat
  • Mrs_Marshall261 Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Q1 PBL is more structured with standards based outcomes #ksedchat
  • DavidDayII82 Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Q1: My PBLs are student picked, student led, and student produced! I just give an idea and let them run! #ksedchat
  • justinmreich Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Completing projects has to do with teaching first with a big project at the end. #PBL is about the learning through the project #ksedchat

    Sam from Buhler HS ELA jumping in a few minutes late! Glad to be here! #ksedchat
  • MrsJessCochran Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: Projects are more guided by Ts and PBL is guided by Ss. #ksedchat

    A1 Ss in charge! Active Ss participation in solving real world challenges! #ksedchat #pbl
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST

  • kylemcclure Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 PBL, the learning happens during the project, projects culminate the learning experience. Project Based Assessment is great too #ksedchat
  • techytamara Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A2: PBL is real-life scenarios, authentic audience, & Ss are making a difference by solving problems. #ksedchat
  • BMcDubb1 Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    #ksedchat I'd say that PBL is driven by student inquiry. I also think PBL can look many different ways instead of one way. student driven.
  • Mrs_Marshall261 Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: PBL is more structured with standards-based outcomes. #ksedchat
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST

    Checking in #ksedchat with a very energetic Valentine. David, 2nd from Valley Center,KS
  • mr_stern Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: as others have said, I agree that projects are a culmination of learning where PBL drives the learning itself. #ksedchat
  • bmcd25 Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    This is a great visualization of PBL vs. projects #ksedchat
  • JillWebs Feb 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: PBL has more student voice & choice. Starts w/ a problem and Ss learn content trying to solve the problem, still learning tho #ksedchat
    • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:06 PM EST
      Let's get started! Q1 is about a difference that seems subtle but has a BIG impact on student learning! #ksedchat

    #ksedchat Q3 Once we can see that it benefits our students and it will meet all of their needs, we WILL make time for it.

  • mitchcenter Feb 13 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1) at the heart of PBL is a meaningful problem that needs solving or exploring. #ksedchat
  • lgmorton210 Feb 13 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: PBL is a deeper based learning, where students learn and can discuss a deeper topic. #ksedchat
  • Rantime Feb 13 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Doing a project is a much more narrow/closed than project based learning. Project based learning allows for choice of learning. #ksedchat
  • bmcd25 Feb 13 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Yes, and PBL is the driver of learning. I like this. #ksedchat
    • JessebAdam Feb 13 @ 9:08 PM EST
      A1: A project designed to drive learning vs a project designed to demonstrate learning... #ksedchat
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Yes! You all are nailing it! If we do #PBL right, the learning happens DURING the project (not before)! #ksedchat
  • AmyHuntGB Feb 13 @ 9:11 PM EST

    Hello #ksedchat! It's been a busy few weeks, glad to be back tonight browsing.
  • EducateNate16 Feb 13 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1:PBL should incorporate lots of standards and objectives to aid in learning. Projects make me think of time fillers. #ksedchat
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    Q2 is about fear and constraints. They're real. Let's talk about them. #ksedchat
  • mitchcenter Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1) a good primer on PBL: https://t.co/fUggoloPkE #ksedchat
  • LemarrTreadwell Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    #KSedchat @Rantime BOOOOOM Exactly what Randall just said. More choice of learning and longer length!

  • D_Cordell_LMS Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1 I let my students choose their prompts, but the model is structured for PBL. #ksedchat
  • JillWebs Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    Ok...I love the idea of S choice, but how do you give them choice within the content that needs to be taught? #ksedchat
  • LemarrTreadwell Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    #KSedchat @mrvesco Thank yu Tim and thanks for the valentines too.
    In reply to @mrvesco
  • MathTurner Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    PBL makes kids want to learn...trying to solve problems without knowing how keeps them motivated #ksedchat
  • karalu79 Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: Projects are about the product, after learning. PBL is about the learning, but with a purpose. #ksedchat
  • mrpscarver Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A2) $, energy, collaborators, encouragers. #ksedchat

    • JillWebs Feb 13 @ 9:12 PM EST
      Ok...I love the idea of S choice, but how do you give them choice within the content that needs to be taught? #ksedchat
  • SJNeill13 Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: PBL is something I am still learning about, but I am liking the way that it encompasses students questions and passions. #ksedchat
  • CoachGerst Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Heath Gerstner, Bio Teacher at McPherson HS #ksedchat
  • bmcd25 Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Choice can come in many forms. You can create the challenge, which drives the learning, Ss pick how they learn and solve #ksedchat

  • Toothpick_Bevis Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A2: General inexperience with process and emphasis/need for having grades entered weekly #ksedchat
  • D_Cordell_LMS Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    but the process I use is PBL. The end is showing all they've learned. #ksedchat
    In reply to @kylemcclure, @JustinBCoffey
  • mistermagette Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Q2: Man...it's just hard with ever larger classes or diverse Ss. Hard to find time to do appropriate "back end" work... #ksedchat
  • tmwill14 Feb 13 @ 9:13 PM EST
    allowing students to manage their time on their own terms is tough for me #ksedchat
  • DDellere Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1: Behind as the Tech person, but PBL makes me think of HyperDocs where the student is in the Driver seat. #ksedchat
  • jonathanferrell Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST

    A2 How do I guide Ss without telling them what to do! #ksedchat
  • MrsBeckyTopil Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    PBL is student choice and deeper learning! #ksedchat
  • HendershotDavid Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2: TIME! It is always hard to find enough even when fully integrated. #ksedchat Also, holding Ss accountable when it flops.
  • debh_stones Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    #ksedchat I'm hearing PBL is learning through the journey and more student led and choices.
  • MrsJessCochran Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2: Letting go of control and letting S have the reins. It was harder at first, but after seeing them learn....totally worth it.#ksedchat
  • MrsWarren_RM121 Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2:Finding the right question or problem to pose to Ss. Helping Ss switch mindsets to be deep thinkers and problem solvers. #ksedchat
  • BMcDubb1 Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2) Time, lack of encouragement/understanding, and it's power. #ksedchat
  • JessebAdam Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2: The inevitable tests. The Ss that, regardless of freedom of topic, format, etc. still fail to follow through #ksedchat
  • AmyHuntGB Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2: from what I see for Ts it's the lack of training and PD that sets them back or aids in a lack of confidence #ksedchat
  • justinmreich Feb 13 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2:How much freedom do I allow students? How can I use limited technology to get quality results? Where do I find ideas? #ksedchat

    A2: Parent pushback is real in some places. No tenure often = no "experiment" #ksedchat
  • bmcd25 Feb 13 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2 My biggest challenge is trying to fit PBL experiences into "school" with assessments, prescribed curriculum, etc. #ksedchat
  • JustinBCoffey Feb 13 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Yes! So true! We need to offer more training and support for Ts if we want them to change! #ksedchat
