That feeling when you still have students in class working on their project despite being dismissed for lunch. #PBL #WhyPBL @PBLWorks

This group on Wednesday came up with their launch for their Micro Museum project and look at how it came together! Love the excitement and potential for student led inquiry! #pbl @PBLWorks @AppliedCoaching

Walked into an impromptu karaoke session while students ate lunch in my classroom today. It’s things like this that I missed while teaching remote.

This is such a great resource for teachers as they think about how to build community and support learning for their students in a physically distanced or remote learning environment! Thanks, @acpeletz @OlaDoctorGina @KristyLathrop

[Alicia Peletz @acpeletz]

I'm so excited to offer this FREE e-book to teachers everywhere! Download it, and check out the strategies for online and physically distanced learning. Together, we're going to make this year great. https://t.co/DHywhHixAD #ConnectingTogether #onlinelearning #twitteredu

Launching our Distance Learning plan today, which means we are kicking off our next project! I've taken the "Making Space for Change" project via @PBLWorks and adapted it for online learning. I'm excited to see how this works! I'll post updates as we go. #vmslablife #pblchat

Overheard student quote of the day after a successful design test. "Wow, this is the first time I've made something good!" I love how PBL can help shift student mindsets of themselves as learners. #WhyPBL #PBL #teacherfeels @PBLWorks

@rickeducation @PBLWorks Also, thanks! I'm in the midst of renovating the website. So it will be looking a bit different soon.
