@CamasPBL Final A: Providing a student-centered curriculum with choice is essential to promote student engagement. If students are interested, or even excited about a project, then we can act more as a facilitator and guide in their learning. #edtechchatwsuv

@mad4history @CamasPBL That is what I love about history: how relevant it remains when studied authentically. Remembering names and dates have limited applications, but using critical analysis to find the connections between the past and the present is engaging. Unlocking a mystery. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@mad4history A32: My group's plan is important to me because it provides students with an overview of different Eco-justice issues, from multiple perspectives, and models different approaches toward solving individual problems while providing students with freedom of choice. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@MorganPress14 A31: When I was in school, I always enjoyed classroom parties. Because I believe the students should have choice, I would like to have party ideas put forth, and doable ideas voted on. That way, it really is the students' celebration. #edtechchatwsuv #studentchoice

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@MorganPress14 A30: I really like @CamasPBL 's approach to this question, and would like to take a similar approach. I also would like to have reflections take place throughout the process, aligning with each milestone. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@Adamteacherguy A28: By giving students choice, and encouraging students to engage with their curriculum in a meaningful way, I think the authenticity of their projects, and their passion, will be something the students carry with them going forward in their lives. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@bcamflores A29: If my students decided to pursue a real-world solution for something along the lines of H2O Eco-justice, press coverage and a community event celebrating their accomplishment would be a fantastic way to celebrate their hard work. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@CamasPBL I have learned from the students at Discovery, that when education is done correctly, school is something they find both challenging and enjoyable. Additionally, Discovery students also understand "the why" behind the curriculum. #edtechchatwsuv

@Adamteacherguy A27: For our group's project, exploring the watersheds in our area would be a great start. A quick google search yielded a great starting point and resource: https://t.co/4ZTAunuo3q #edtechchatwsuv

@Steph9980413 A26: Taking students outside, if only on school grounds, in order to explore and/or do some kind of field work related to the curriculum, can serve as a mini-field trip: breaking up the monotony, energizing the class and increasing social capital. #edtechchatwsuv #natureforthewin

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@Steph9980413 A25: In the case Eco-justice, I would explain how valuable someone with real-life experience in our subject matter would be: not only to our students, but also for greater cause. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@nhendrenteach A23: Structure & planning purposes: Google Classroom, Drive, & Sites unless there is a platform the students are already comfortable with. Tech (outlined in project sketch): to assist in answering high-order questions for inquiry. All work toward ISTE goals. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@KendallManiulit A20: Teamwork was seldom part secondary school experience, and was never a part of formal assessment there. Assessing teamwork seems like it has the potential for positive outcomes, but hard to measure. Usually the PRODUCT of the teamwork takes center stage. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

Q22: Boss and Krauss state that a group's ability to work as a team can "make or break" a project. What are some steps you can take in order to promote successful collaboration among your students? #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@KendallManiulit A19: How do the H2O pollutants in your study compare to H2O samples in other parts of the world? After exploring how others have attempted to mediate the effects of similar pollution, propose the best solution and your thinking behind it. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

Q21: Boss and Krauss note the importance of monitoring student progress in PBL in order to be certain that students remain challenged while still meeting their project deadlines. How will you approach this aspect of PBL as a teacher? #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@sjmeyer28 A17-Before: "What aspects of H20 Eco-justice most important to you, why, and what would you like to explore in order to make a positive impact? Why do you believe this would challenge you?" After: "Do you wish you could have learned or accomplished more? What?" #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@janessatwilson A15: Students would need to be introduced or reminded of the different aspects of H2O Eco-justice, past and present, and how the subject relates to them personally so they can decide what subtopic they would like to explore further. #edtechchatwsuv

[Bret Lien @LienBret]

@CamasPBL A13: Given the amount of choice my project has incorporated into it, tools will vary depending on what my students pursue in their inquiries. There are a number of tools available at this website related to H20 Eco-justice. #edtechchatwsuv https://t.co/MmHLop8F8P
