@Altoids we all hate the paper inside the tins. FFS… some change is good! #ditchthelinerpaper

It's fun to think about how our own experiences inform our practice. This misadventure on a bike reminds me that I was once as young and impulsive as my students occasionally are. #authenticlearning #PBL #edblogger @mmcdowell @magnifylearning #PBLChat https://t.co/tCEdzPj1AN

Oh, snap… #PBL does not stand for peanut butter and lettuce. Enjoying getting into the @ryansteuer book, PBL simplified. Project Based Learning is impactful and accessible! @magnifylearning @mmcdowell13 @newtechnetwork @johnlPBL #pblchat

Ruby, the old, red ten-speed bike that got me from A to B for a semester in Sweden, taught me that self-reliance is a great attribute to develop. It's my privilege to pass that lesson along to my students. #PBL #pblchat #authenticlearning #edchat #Sweden https://t.co/mGrDrLcrtW

I steadfastly believe that the ultimate inspiration for anything worth doing in school is derived from authentic life experiences & lessons. This is the 2nd essay from my #authenticity Series. #writing #authors #PBL #PBLchat #pandemic #authenticlearning https://t.co/1zC0LPp3ak

Under light of gibbous moon
Walks fork, dish, and spoon
Harbingers of dinner
Meal to come soon
Candle awaits #lambent
It sets the mood
Fork makes suggestion, rude
Spoon gives a titter
Turns to the dish
Fork that? Hah! He can wish
For dinner is soup
Fork's not in the loop

A5: #pblchat one of our graduates created her own degree pathway auto our local IU branch and went on to get masters in molecular biology. Now living in Switzerland and pursuing PhD. She knew to do this because of #PBL and the desire to chart her course

[@ChrisGibsonEdu @chrisgibsonedu]

Q5: One more - how has #PBL transformed learning for a student?

#PBLChat 9/6/22

[Andrew Larson @andrewmlarson]

A very shy autistic boy and an “edgy” girl did a duet together at our talent show. She was up there to support him. And it was so good. Empowered by the culture of inclusion and responsible risk taking. Goosebumps

[@ChrisGibsonEdu @chrisgibsonedu]

Q4: Share another inspirational example of how #PBL transformed learning for a student.

#PBLChat 9/6/22

[Andrew Larson @andrewmlarson]

A3: Find more ways for work to be truly public. We are in a community where the two large HS loom over us with their long storied traditions and athletics. We have to call the newspaper & get in the public eye. And obviously share work in other digital media w/ broader audiences.

[@ChrisGibsonEdu @chrisgibsonedu]

Q3: What steps can we take to increase the impact of #PBL in our setting?
In our community and wider audience?

@inspirepassion "the great equalizer!" #PBL

[Andrew Larson @andrewmlarson]

A2: This is an easy one. As a result of #PBL I have flipped houses, written a book, started a band. Wouldn't have done any of that without the #growthmindset I developed from having become a PBL practitioner.

[@ChrisGibsonEdu @chrisgibsonedu]

Q2: Share an inspirational example of how #PBL transformed learning for you as an educator.

@inspirepassion I love this. I have seen this many times and I love that his "language" was born from content. Many skeptical kids who think #PBL is too touchy feely come to see that it's serious business, too

[Andrew Larson @andrewmlarson]

A1 we started a tree nursery on our campus last year. A small group of students were “CEOs” representing the whole freshman class with the directors of facilities and maintenance. Leaders were born and they are carrying on with the project to see it through. #pblchat

Good evening #pblchat @csanewtechhs in Columbus Indiana. Science and LA facilitator.
