PBL Hybrid Style. If you want to get the most out of your class time, ask yourself, "Where in the learning cycle do your students most need you face-to-face?" (Sams & Bergmann, 2013). #pbl #edtech #MAET https://t.co/pq9FCshmzo via @wordpressdotcom

Conditionalizing Knowledge. Knowing when, where, and why to use knowledge saves time and energy that can be further applied to problem solving. #MAET #teaching https://t.co/MKQj7w89qJ via @wordpressdotcom

Persistence, grown from experiences of hard work, matters so much in learning. Learning takes time, because it takes effort. Here is one project that inspired persistence. Time In = Knowledge+ #edchat #MAET https://t.co/yIDzbUAYSw via @wordpressdotcom

The Case for PBL & Digital Tools. How can schools best prepare students to see themselves as effective agents of change in a world facing such daunting challenges as climate change? #edchat #MAET https://t.co/auFJCHagLE via @wordpressdotcom

Former German President Joachim Gauk on multilingualism, "being at home in your mother tongue, with all its poetry, as well as workable English for all of life's situations and all age groups." This article shows the complexities of delivering that goal. https://t.co/t9v34gqwJY

Learning About Learning. Whether you want to be a teacher or have taught for years, if you haven't written your own personal theory of learning, give it a try! #MAET #edleadership https://t.co/hnjPqnNSoC via @wordpressdotcom

Here's a Rocketry PBL curriculum as a context for applied trigonometry, geometry, Newton's laws of motion and extension opportunities in CAD and 3D printing. #EdTech #MAET https://t.co/6YKzxLUr6g via @wordpressdotcom

Mandatory Computer Science: A Thorny Issue. What if a school is not yet equipped to offer computer science? Consider diving into computational thinking. #MAET https://t.co/gZwq6vBXxx via @wordpressdotcom

The rise in American high-school graduation rates looks puffed-up. #CEP820 Interesting article with implications for online courses that lack adaptability and oversight. https://t.co/blhaqxhfXm

Multi-tasking only truly works with certain tasks. Focusing on the task at hand still outperforms the multi-tasker. The problems our world faces probably require sustained concentration. Besides, some multi-tasking can be lethal! https://t.co/0HAgMSSQFm #cep815 #pbsfrontline

@TheEconomist Bartley column learning leadership from world leaders (FDR, Churchill, Bismarck) Clear strategic goals, flexibility in tactics and an ability to inspire. Leaders should read more history to learn how to look forward #CEP815

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

"If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong" yet in ed. research might the same experiment work in other class, school, district? #CEP822

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

@hplinhnguyen12 Agree! Lower barriers but add probationary on the job training. Even some teachers don't know if teaching is for them until they try.

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

Teacher effects dwarf school effects, class size, further complicating results in quasi-experimental ed. research #CEP822

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

Berliner & Willingham are neither strict logical positivists nor post modernists. Willingham p.77 "truth is somewhere in the middle"#CEP822

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

Berliner on Helmke's evaluation anxiety research, 93 classroom contexts 93 different patterns. Be ready for multiple truths #CEP822

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

"Postmodernism = incredulity toward metanarratives" -Lyotard. Resonates Berliner, must understand local narratives in edu research #CEP822

[Justin Thibedeau @thibedeaujm]

Department wide curriculum designing! Plug in all those minds to @stormboard and create a Mind! #CEP812 #MAET
