@CamasPBL QFinal: I found at OMS that when students are given freedom to be creative with their PBL projects, they tend to pick something that interest them. This prompts personal investment and triggers deeper learning. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@CamasPBL A35: I'm also new to Twitter with this class and one of the greatest resources I found was from a #historyteacher who is constantly updating resources in her shared drive. It will allow me to connect with other teachers across the world. #edtechchatwsuv

@CamasPBL A34: I hope to creating learning experiences that take students outside. Authentic learning is solidified when they can SEE their knowledge as it interacts the community, such as final theoretical products in our Eco-justice unit. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@CayanGrant A32: I have no idea what to write for this 😬 #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@mad4history A33: My expectations of learning has changed by realizing I’m going to need to be a “perpetual student” to keep up with ever changing knowledge and technology that comes with teaching. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@mad4history A32: Our plan is important to me because it focuses on our community, and allows students to create something physical that means something to them. #edtechchatwsuv

@MorganPress14 A31: first off, I love the idea of hot cocoa and pajamas! I’ll have to steal that for the future! I’m thinking a picnic in the park, maybe with pizza cuz we all know how kids love that! #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@AdamTeacher4 @MorganPress14 @AdamTeacher4 I love that idea!

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@MorganPress14 A30: In regards to a post project reflection I would ask: How did the outcome of your project make an impact on the community?
If given a longer project timeline, in what ways could you improve your project? #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@CamasPBL I have learned that it’s important to build relationships with my students to understand their challenges in and outside of school. That way, I know how to approach the situation when they are struggling. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@bcamflores A29: My students would have an “open house” to display their final products physically, as well as virtually sharing online with targeted/interested groups. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@Adamteacherguy A28: This could be in the form of something that is visible in the community, such designing recycling bins to eliminate landfill waste or producing an art piece from common litter. (stolen from my group’s unit project idea) #EdTechChatWSUV

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@Adamteacherguy A27: I would do so by having students investigate the composting, recycling, and garbage in the community. This will give them a good idea of the amount of waste and hopefully spark ideas for their functional art piece. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@Steph9980413 A25: aiming towards an environmentalist, I would stress the importance of spreading knowledge about the ecosystem to the younger generation to help nature thrive in the future. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@nhendrenteach A23: Students will use technology to connect with experts on caretaking for “exotic” pets, and conduct research about their ecosystem.#edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@LienBret A22: Another observation from Odyssey: at the very beginning of the project, students create and agree on group “norms” and sign the paper to pledge they will abide by these rules. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@LienBret A21: An approach I would use to monitor progress is one on one time with each project. I have been observing this strategy at Odyssey middle school and it give the teachers an idea of what needs more work. #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@KendallManiulit A20: I remember projects where we would evaluate each other after the conclusion of the project, which was part of the formative assessment grade. I feel it promoted collaboration and sharing of the workload in comparison to projects that did not do evaluations.#edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@KendallManiulit A19: Based on their research, what are basic necessities in the marine ecosystem that would impact populations of crustaceans of distrusted? I’m what ways would it be impacted? #edtechchatwsuv

[Susie Meyer @sjmeyer28]

@mad4history That sounds like a cool experience and I’m very jealous!

Q16: Chapter 7 touches on how teachers can build anticipation for a project before launch. With your project sketch in mind, how might you build anticipation in your hypothetical unit to get students ready for this new project? #edtechchatwsuv
