βNow theyβre using that language because weβre giving them experiences they wouldnβt otherwise have.β
Thatβs what knowledge building does.
It gives students access to words, ideas, and the world.

"Everyone can make a difference. We believe that everyone has extraordinary potential to do so , and the expanding opportunities that TECHNOLOGY brings can exponentially grow our ability to create solutions for our most pressing challenges." @community_share#bookstudy
The most important skill for creativity is no longer original thinking. Itβs taste and tenacity.
In the age of AI, ideas are abundant. Good judgment and execution are scarce.
The future belongs to those who excel at finding and amplifying the signal in the noise.
I think less transactional classrooms, ones that operate in inquiry mode, are better at creating authentic, organic conversations where students make meaning and build connective knowledge.
"Efficiency" may be a trade-off, but there is deep learning value in those conversations.
PBL isn't about students "discovering" knowledge on their own, despite what critics say.
Itβs a vehicle to help them see why that knowledge is important and how connecting it helps them solve a real-world challenge or create something of value. https://t.co/ueFNqGrnLz
