A4: #STEM projects can exist outside of #PBL but allowing students to drive the lesson planning process with questions that matter to them creates an organic connection back to the foundation. #pblchat

Q4: Do you intentionally overlap #PBL and #STEM, or does it happen organically?

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@chrisgibsonedu A3: Encouraging students to use a multi-disciplinary approach to think about a variety of solutions is critical in both #pbl and #STEM.

@maggieleemchugh @makerbot I'm new to teaching and am using this #pblchat to learn more about the incredible resources out there. Thanks for sharing this one!

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

IMO, #PBL and #STEM are like the apple tree and the apple. The foundations of one are the roots of the other, seen in the cross-curricular approaches to real world problems.

Q1: How do you see #PBL and #STEM connecting?

@chrisgibsonedu Hello! Nancy O'Keefe here, originally from Arizona but living my best life in MO. I'm currently a middle school Computer Apps teacher.

@lrothmier ❤️ you, friend!

@crystal_woodin Surrender them to the sea of students. They’ll get there... #eventually. 😬

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@BTLMusical How do you pick only one?! I loved so many of the books I read in high school.. I guess the one I would read a million times over again is the Killer Angels, a civil war novel by Michael Shaara.

@MickelsonC Dead😂

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@lrothmier I’m in, you don’t even have to ask twice.

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@crystal_woodin @Mathieu_Era @Chiefs As an #AZCardinals fan, I speak the truth when I say that you’ve got something good here, so don’t ruin it.

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@crystal_woodin @miss_emhannah @karilo_max @lrothmier @MickelsonC @Sharks4Kids @SharkyJenny @SharkWeek You make it easy to help those amazing kids!

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@lrothmier You’re sneaky.

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@MissLoweEDU @klp61870 @lrothmier and I read this book! It brought out so many emotions and made me ask so many questions about my own actions!

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

I want to #showMustanglove with a #colleagueshoutout to @lrothmier for going above and beyond (as she always does) with our 2nd Grade American Girl book club! Thanks for letting me be a part of something so sweet! 💛

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@karilo_max That’s not very kind of you. And during this month of love, I’m absolutely shocked!

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@aharrison_teach I’m about it!

[Nancy O'Keefe @NancySOKeefe]

@aharrison_teach It’s a great idea, but when do you remove the tape? I’m all for learning tools, but eventually they’ll need to just know! (Present problem in Kindergarten: expecting them to spell their names from memory 😭)
