First day of school! Students working collaboratively on a 120s chart activity. Blown away with how well they worked together in a group activity on day 1! Challenging base ten 120s chart tomorrow #seadogspotlight

#seadogspotlight a short read about summer planning PBL edutopia.org/article/summer…

"One 'move' I made that enhanced my PBL teaching was developing the classroom project wall into an active teaching tool, rather than a bulletin board." -@istevenson75 #PBLprotips #PBL #deeperlearning #hqpbl bie.org/blog/using_a_p…

Feedback is the "secret sauce" to improving quality of student work. I enjoyed sharing and receiving feedback with other educators during #pblohio from around the country I look forward to making revisions to the current PBL to implement it this school year! #seadogspotlight

Day 2 #pblohio. We discussed strategies to promote critical thinking 2 of my favs: 1. Pro/Pro chart instead of a pro/con chart: looks at positives of two different views,topics, etc 2. Scribble Bird to promote generating ideas: given a scribble, create a bird #seadogspotlight

Take away from Day One of #pblohio "They are not here to fill in the blanks on worksheets: they are here to accomplish original, beautiful work." I loved reading about the importance of 'beautiful work' in all subjects areas leading to quality work. #seadogspotlight
