Now I think it is a way to organize entire units with a main goal at the end.

My next steps are to figure out how to fit my flipped classroom methodology into the PBL format.]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245305 aslane17 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245314 I used to think that PBL was students learning about any topic they wanted with NO directions from teachers.

Now I think that PBL is just an extension of things that I am already doing in my classroom.

My next steps are to fine tune the process.]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245314 eklepfer https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245317 I used to think that PBLs were too much work.
Now I think that some of my units fit quite easily into PBL.
My steps are working on using some of the elements of PBL in my units.]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245317 ddeckard1 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245438 I used to think PBL and in class projects were the same thing.

Now I think PBL is a student-driven and real life learning centered. 

My next steps are to continue collaborating with general education teachers on how we can best service students with PBL.]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245438 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245457 I used to think PBL was just doing more projects in my classroom.
Now I know that PBL is a more authentic and engaging way for students to learn content via a well thought out and planned unit.
My next steps are to review more of this landing page, its resources, and add more elements to my classroom. I've already started googling some ideas for 4th grade.]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245457 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245567 I used to think that you couldn't really relate PBL to the standards you were teaching

Now I think that it is a fantastic way to get kids immersed in content and make it engaging 

My next steps are to think about the assessment piece with my PBL project]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245567 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245578 ...PBL was unorganized
...PBL is setting boundaries for students to explore solutions within
...finalize my PBL plan]]> 2020-07-23 18:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661245578 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246001 I use to think PBL was really hard, Now I think that it can be fun and easy to implement. 

My next steps are to continue to develop plans and find where it fits in my classes. ]]> 2020-07-23 18:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246001 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246051 I used to think PBL was mostly for upper grades.

Now I think that PBL can be implemented in Kindergarten.

My next steps are using our idea that we developed in this training and continue to learn about PBL and how I can make it work in my classroom!

Now I think that PBL is more of a UNIT plan that incorporates various elements of teaching with the project as the crux. 

My Next Steps are figuring out how to implement these elements into my classes. ]]> 2020-07-23 18:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246094 dnicely https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246156 ...PBL was projects at the end of units
....PBL is done in the middle of units

...working through my standards to created PBL]]> 2020-07-23 18:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246156 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246658 I used to think project based learning was just doing projects
Now I think project based learning can allow for in-depth problem solving inquiry
My next steps are to add more in-depth thinking to my projects]]> 2020-07-23 18:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246658 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246667 I used to think PBL was too difficult to incorporate into third grade.

Now I think PBL is very possible and love giving students the option to choose what they want to learn.

My next steps is to figure out how I can incorporate more PBL activities throughout content areas and the year!]]> 2020-07-23 18:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246667 cmyers15 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246740 I used to think projects and project based learning was the same thing.

Now I think PBL would be a huge benefit for second grade students.  

My next steps are... finishing my PBL lesson plan/unit. My goal is to implement the RRR unit during second semester due to the current restrictions in place. ]]> 2020-07-23 18:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246740 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246785 I used to think that I was doing PBL but I was actually just doing projects at the end of a unit.

I learned that PBL is possible in lower elementary.]]> 2020-07-23 18:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246785 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246947 I used to think PBL would be creating something from the beginnning.
Now i think I can take a lesson I have and change it to PBL. 
My next step is to make a formal plan and try it out a little later in the year!]]> 2020-07-23 18:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661246947 https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661248163 PBL was for only certain subjects.

PBL can be done by anyone for any subjects.

To continue to integrate PBL into my teaching.]]> 2020-07-23 18:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rortiz7/1e3akrj25n82qjmh/wish/661248163
