LAST Thought 4 today:
These 2 weeks have made me reflect on how important building a culture of LEARNING is in your school, top 2 bottom
If learning isn't the goal 4 everyone, then it wont happen at home or school. #pbl is learning culture in action #pblchat

[Chris Fancher @cfanch]

The biggest impact I want to have on my students is for them to know I am there for them and that I will provide a safe structured plan for moving forward. #pblchat

A2: Frequent check-ins with students, use of tools such as @trello to keep track, collaborative tools (e.g. @googlesuite where we can go "see" what progress is being made #pblchat

[Leah Ross Henry @LeahRossHenry]

A2: I have been working on the collab prob: I can track who does what in google docs, I can scale the projects so they are n partner groups and share phone numbers. I can explain how to set up a https://t.co/dFwG1a65hC and model what a group meeting should look like. #pblchat

@LeahRossHenry Using a mixer of project management or assement tools for learning! #PBLchat

[Brandon Goon @brandonisagoon]

@LeahRossHenry I’m a huge fan of project management platfoms being brought into the classroom. Kanban boards and other easily understandable tools! #PBLchat

Q3: how do we use technology to help us overcome project management challenges?

[Brandon Goon @brandonisagoon]

@inspirepassion @googlesuite @Flipgrid @padlet @Zoom @Skype @trello *Be Anything*

[Brandon Goon @brandonisagoon]

@cfanch @LeahRossHenry Students can also use this as an opportunity to learn how project management functions in the workplace! Things like agile, scrum, and kanban! #PBLchat

[Brandon Goon @brandonisagoon]

@sarahe_york @beanything_co a project management platform for learning with assessment features! #pblchat

[Brandon Goon @brandonisagoon]

@LeahRossHenry Relevance can really help students. especially when they’re provided with additional scaffolds for CK & practices that are relevant to them. Give them some real world project-managememt examples. Parents might even be able to engage with them and talk about their work. #PBLchat

First, I heard this story from Brandon himself.

If you want to hear him tell it, you can check out the recent interview I did with him on The EdTech Startup Show.

The link for that is here:

Anyway, after Brandon dropped out. What did he do?

[Gerard Dawson @GerardDawson3]

Here's the truth that teachers know: project-based learning is challenging, even prohibitively so.

How to start?
How to keep it going?
How to assess it?
How to manage it all?

These are the questions teachers could use help with.
