A year ago, @kathy_laf and I set out to create a curriculum based in inquiry, student interest, & creativity. We pivoted countless times but ended with a classroom full of students who are unafraid to ask questions, consider all perspectives. I am proud of what we all have done

@AlanGratz We are all freaking out that you responded! So much author love in our classroom! Next up: Grenade

Dear Mr. @AlanGratz, my 6th grade class had a very persuasive debate today about which book they liked better as a read aloud… we never came to a consensus. What was your favorite to write?

Thank you @e_knupp and our #TechYesPBL course for giving me keyboard shortcuts! They are now printed and where I can practice them!

That’s a wrap on this week’s #TechYesPBL focused class! Thank you @e_knupp for such amazing ideas and inspiration. I created a *work in progress* bitmoji classroom that I hope my future students will like.

#TechYesPBL I used to think that Twitter was used only within the walls of my school building to share out projects and communicate our learning. Now I know that it can be used to enhance my teaching!

@e_knupp is crushing our Using Tech to Enhance PBL course this week. I am gaining so many resources and ideas for my classroom. #TechYesPBL

PBL provides rigor to students by providing them different paths to success and allowing them to use their strengths @PBLinFCPS
