Love this evidence of learning! @HMJHS_Vikings students read A Long Walk To Water by @LindaSuePark and built empathy and understanding through their #PBL on water. #DefinedSTEMchat
Great observation, Jacie! Curiosity, interest, and passion can drive a project to success if it's gently guided.

True #PBL should be driven by curious questions, student interests, and passion to learn about the world around them. Ownership is evident when students direct their own learning. #DefinedSTEMChat
A4. Try working with students to come up with a "task" list for the project. What needs to happen for the project to be successful? Then each student can choose a task and contribute something useful to the project.

Q4: How do you differentiate your projects to ensure each student has equal ownership, buy-in, & meaningful contribution? Please preface your responses with A4 and include the hashtag #DefinedSTEMchat

The countdown begins! 30 minutes until our 4th question of the #DefinedSTEMchat on PBL. Join the conversation at 6 p.m. CST or anytime this week to get and give tips implementing PBL in the K-12 classroom. Follow #DefinedSTEMchat.

To ensure that kids are involved with authentic problems, do a quick check: Does the problem reference space aliens? Talking animals? Cartoon characters? Then it's not genuine. It may be fun but avoid going in that direction.

This really increases the opportunity for kids to choose problems they really care about - environmental issues are big with many middle schoolers. So are health issues and, of course hunger issues. #DefinedSTEMchat
Q3: To ensure project-based learning is authentic, teachers should allow students to choose real world problems to solve within their community and partner with local companies who could potentially implement the studentsโ solutions. #DefinedSTEMchat

@Beth_SmithGRT @allison_zmuda Iโm sure those scientists werenโt concerned at all about pacing! We need to make sure we allow opportunities for rabbit hole learning. #DefinedSTEMchat
For those interested in using @operationsmile for a #PBL, there's an @DefinedSTEM task for elementary and middle school! #DefinedSTEMchat
A3- Another favorite authentic #pbl of mine is from @OSStudPro and @PAMSPanthers https://t.co/fV1cVlYHEZ . A clear indicator of S ownership- products that do not look the same at all!

@allison_zmuda I think I first understood the concept of "co-create" after attending a @VASCD preconference you led a few years ago! #DefinedSTEMchat
A great question for students- "What do you need? What do I need?"- co-negotiated. Check-ins that do not interrupt the flow or steer students, but allow time for thoughtful questioning and reflecting can go a long way! #definedstemchat
@meg5han So how can we balance the level that messy learning necessities and feeling like there is forward movement?
A3- My favorite method of testing the authenticity of a problem is finding a worthy audience- if I cannot find one, perhaps the problem is not complex enough to support a full #PBL and could fit into a smaller single day inquiry. #DefinedSTEMchat
@meg5han @allison_zmuda Definitely a fine balance because I am as much a rabbit holer as the students! #DefinedSTEMchat
@allison_zmuda The GRT and i have offered to build tasks for them and co-teach to use which will incorporate content, LA, and math. Once they realize the level of energy and excitement, they๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝll want more! #DefinedSTEMchat
So much easier for everyone when the Ss are invested! It's hard to create that artificially. An authentic problem usually makes that part seamless! #DefinedSTEMchat
A3: Ss must to see the need for their work. It isnโt work for the sake of busyness but rather to identify possible answers to a complex issue allowing them to grow in content knowledge and conceptual thinking. It brings in the 5Cs and Ss should feel invested. #DefinedSTEMchat
Ts often struggle with "authentic" problems- I know I did! I spent a lot of time making up problems before I realized there are plenty in the world! @DefinedSTEM was a game changer for systematically speeding up the process of #HQPBL for me! #DefinedSTEMchat
