The videos were excellent! They were all well thought out, well prepared, and the knowledge flowed!!! It makes me wonder how much time is allowed, and whether all the work is done at school or is some of it completed at home.

I loved that saying you put about teaching! That is the main reason why it takes me forever to get through a lesson for me I have to show examples, I have to show how to do step by step and I still ask now tell me the steps because to me I feel like a failure if you aren’t able to accomplish something that I have taught you to do… so even if it takes me extra time I will involve you in the lesson😊

I was very surprised to see that we as teacher many times think we are giving students options but they do not see it like that. I guess in many ways it’s hard for us to let go and just let them work on their own!!! I always tell mine “ I believe you can do it now you have to believe it too so that you can accomplish it” and I do use those exact big words with my pk and k kids and explain to them what they mean so if I say it again they will understand!!!

Truly enjoyed today’s Focus on PBL. I used it lots when I taught 3rd grade science but is a bit hard when doing in pk and k but I try. We did one using a a rock that they had to name decorate and tell me about what it’s environment and needs were in kinder last year. It was very interesting. I love letting kids learn and research when possible…. Loved this session!!!!

I love PBL. This quote reminds me of  Maria Montessori’s approach to education: “Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment”.  B. Franklin quote means that teachers need to act as facilitators for learning to occur by exposing students to learning experiences relevant to them within their environment.

I loved learning how PBL is more student lead and student centered. I really want to incorporate it more this coming school year with being a kindergarten teacher. Students love when you give them the choice and you really see a difference in behavior and respect. I did the scamper tool and I did it for a playhouse and I feel that if you can do these activities for students then they are just going to soar with them and have a great time! I really enjoyed doing it myself and I can’t wait to do it with students, and not just the scamper technique but the others as well!

What does it mean?
The quote is expressing how children learn.  Children learn through hands on activities, activities of interest and free choice activities, experiences and opportunities, interesting to them and projects in which they have owner.

How does it relate to PBL?
It relates to PBL’s activities that provide opportunities that support the above type learning in class.

Finally, do you agree with it?
Yes, I agree that children learn from experiences and activities that they can relate to in life, have a choice and voice on activities and experiences that allows them to be creative and make deep connections with.

What does research say about PBL?
Students eat the kind of learning experiences PBL delivers.  Students and teachers do not always agree on how much time is spent on various activities.

Which statistics support the use of PBL in our classrooms?  The statistics show that students learn to think critically, gain problem solving skills, and develop curiosity to learn beyond the classroom.

Which statistics surprised you?
I was surprised by the statistics of students that stated they were not getting real life experiences in class and the teachers that believed they were giving these opportunities.

Are parents and teachers in agreement with their opinions regarding instruction?
Parents and teachers agree on what instructions give the best results.

Projects are teacher directed.  The students have access to real world learning and the same goal is applied.
PBL has teacher collaborations which encourages learning through process.

1. The difference between doing projects in PBL is that doing projects does not foster learning or creativity. Projects are teacher led, whereas, PBL allows students to do the work and teacher is the facilitator.
2. What does research say about PBL? It involves both the teachers and parents value the learning process that takes place during PBL especially more than using standardizes tests to gauge learning.
Considering the quote:
3. What does this mean? Students learn in different ways and on different days. How does it relate to PBL? It involves to "do" or hands -on experience. Finall, do you agree with it? Yes, I do agree that you learn by doing. The learning is deep and long-lasting.
4. Comment on the progression of projects throughout the grade bands: There are many more activities and choices as the grades progress (which is understandable because of age and ability.
Note the similarities of the different grade bands: All of the grade bands have 2 components . Also, note the differences: For the older grades of course the activities are more challenging and interesting.

I love watching the different PBL projects different students had done. It was amazing how the complexity increased over grade levels. I also was impressed by how much the students will research and apply what they’ve learned to solve a problem. It’s amazing what students can do when we let them go! I can’t wait to start PBL projects in my classroom (:

I love the TPSP website. I’m making a list of PBLs I want to try in my classroom next year. Being self contained, I really think that I can make this work. Especially the social studies and science ones. Once or twice a week the students can work on their projects instead of doing their normal stations.

I have really enjoyed learning about PBL and how much more students want to learn this way. As an educator, my goal for this year to to create more opportunities for students to be involved in their learning so that they can be successful. I want my students to leave my classroom not just prepared to take a test, but to have ownership in their learning, to reveal more creativity and critical thinking.

One thing I found interesting is that GT students want to share their projects with people outside of their classroom and school. I’ve never really thought about taking this further out into the community, but now I am…..

Having used PBL activities in the past few years has shown to be successful in the classroom and is in line with the statistics from what I have read. This training is giving me newer insight to PBL and how I can adapt more lessons using this method. Already noting potential PBL activities for the coming year. Also the scientific method can be used to facilitate ideas in PBL which can help in horizontal alignment between subjects.

I teach elementary so I am not sure what this would look like. I just finished watching the videos on TPSP site. I love the worm farmer/chef! Wow! He taught me things about earthworms that I did not know. Another favorite was the 6th grader on Bluetooth technology! Genius!

The TPSP is such a user friendly site. I have completed the student presentations and written responses.

I use Padlet in my classroom on a weekly basis for a variety of student reading responses and student questions through  book clubs. Anyone have other ideas on how they use Padlet?

# data[].attributes.body
The progression of the age groups was impressive. The first did not have anything written down but was able to explain everything about the earthworms. The second was as articulate and was able to demonstrate how the triple sip worked. The last two were short but to the point. They all had a purpose and were able to describe it beautifully. The projects involved the environment around them and beyond.

I am re learning about PBL. When we are going through our education program we are given so many tools in what it feels like such a long time that it is easy to get overwhelmed. So going back and being reminded of PBL and how well it works for the learning of our students is nice. I like that we are only focusing on PBL. It makes it a whole lot easier to learn how to really implement it in the classroom.

I think the statistics about how often teachers and students say activities happen are interesting. To me it shows what is more memorable to students more than anything because a student is more likely to say they often do a task if doing it stands out more to them.

While learning about PBL, one thing that I really love is the idea that students are actively participating in their own learning.

An ah-ha that I noticed was that teachers and students have a different perception on what PBLs look like. 52% of teachers say students work on projects. While only, 26% of students say they work on PBLs. I found this interesting.
