@CamasPBL A Final: I realized how few times I was asked what I thought or wanted to learn in the classroom. There is an increased level of commitment that comes when you have choice/voice, switching from passive to active learning #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@CamasPBL A35: Having the group chat of fellow MIT's collective wisdom of peers with a common shared experience has been very helpful today and I believe once we become teachers as well #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@CamasPBL A34: Following the news on several subjects - politics, business, pop-culture, technology, science, etc - to stay informed but also with an eye for teaching/project opportunities can help. In addition, asking what students are following. #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@mad4history A33: There are many ways to teach; it is a relief to see that we are not expected, nor encouraged, to stand and deliver Powerpoint presentations and/or write on the board all day long. #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@mad4history A32: I am really excited to try and combine multiple diciplines, because in real life science, math, history, writing, etc all overlap to solve problems #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@CayanGrant A32: It's important to identify moments that matter in our lives, and in school. Having traditions centered around the first day of school, the last day before a break, after big tests or completion of a project can build in these moments #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@MorganPress14 A31: Recognition and celebration goes a long way in helping with engagement. It's not the most exciting answer, but asking students how they want to celebrate would be my default #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@Adamteacherguy A28: Confidence comes from accomplishing things you once thought you couldn't. By working on a tangible outcome, students get the experience of accomplishing something real showing them they are stronger than they realize. #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@CamasPBL I have learned that really knowing a student makes for a more rewarding experience and increases empathy and the ability to learn together. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@bcamflores A29: For the culiminating event, the students have choice for their final product. Sharing with peers could inspire new ideas for projects. Display of work for the community asking for feedback would be wonderful. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@Adamteacherguy A27: For our group’s project, mapping battery materials from cradle to grave would help students see our world is interconnected, and decisions we make have long-lasting effects near and far. #EdTechChatWSUV

Q26: “Unlike field trips, which can often feel like treats at the end of the unit, focus on fieldwork as inquiry experiences.” What are your ideas for fieldwork that does not require transportation or funds? #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

Q25: I need an expert, stat! Connecting with experts is a natural component of the learning experience. What would you say to an expert to convince them to share their time with your class? #edtechchatwsuv

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@KendallManiulit A20: Teamwork was not a focus of formal assessment. I believe it would produce better project outcomes and give experience that would be useful for future projects, in the classroom and after in the workplace. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@nhendrenteach A23: the google suit is excellent for group work - sheet, doc, slides, currents, classroom, meets. To expand their horizons, maybe creating an app with Appsheet (also owned by google) could be an interesting way to expand tech in class #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@LienBret A22: Get an idea of what roles students would want on a team (maybe the student is looking to develop in an area or maybe to play to their strengths). Create a project charter to define objectives, roles, timeline and why the work matters #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@LienBret A21: By keeping in mind the core content students must master, this gives flexibility to personalize to keep all students engaged. Mindful observation of the class, asking directly through exit tickets and grading diverse work activities. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@KendallManiulit A19: Case & Effect: Many bills have been proposed to incentive purchase of electric cars. What are some of the reasons elected officials would support these bills? What are potential unexpected, negative and beneficial effects that could happen?

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@ColleenFReeves A18: When there is wiggle room to surprise a teacher, the project is much more fun. I created a presentation on an environmental topic and tied it back to mathematics through risk (severity and probability). It connected math and science unexpectedly.

[Stephanie Halver @Steph9980413]

@sjmeyer28 A17: I would ask students to reflect on what they did well in their last project and where they could improve. From these answers, I would ask that they seek and set goals that will allow them to grow.
