#綿羊姑娘 真的是 PBL 的玩家，去年聖誕開始看 Matilda - Comédie musicale ，到現在法語版已經看了八九遍，德語版看了一遍還是兩遍，把Matilda的小說法語版讀完之後，現在在看第二遍舊版的Matilda 電影，看到每一個情節他都能夠聯想起書中的段落，和新舊版之間的區別。
對，她還做了大量的與這部電影有關的手工，和準備拉她的夥伴們來cosplay.

現在她在看 Roald Dahl 的其他小說，我打算再過一段時間忽悠她學英語，就可以去看英文原版了。 #PBL #projectbasedlearning

Just got tapped to be an "anchor" speaker at the CSTA Super Southern CSEd Virtual Unconference. Yay me!

Gonna talk about #projectbasedlearning for middle school #computerscience, which is my jam. Can't wait!

I'm launching a podcast on creating engaging learning experiences, called Hard Fun, of course! We'll cover everything from PBL to personal connections to AI to the joy of learning. If you're one of those people, hit me up and let's talk! You know who you are!

Exciting news! Podcast incoming!

@edutooters #projectbasedlearning

OK, @edutooters . I'm starting a podcast on learning. Center of "the wheel" is #projectbasedlearning, with spokes going out in related directions: student engagement, student voice and choice, AI and education, grading vs gradeless, etc. I'm looking for practitioners (not researchers) -- people who have actually done this in real live classes on any level, who are passionate about these topics.

If that's you, hit me up! Let's talk!

I've been mulling how #chatGPT might affect my teaching and been mulling the potential for increased #AcademicIntegrity violations. I try to prioritize critical thinking and #ProjectBasedLearning, which should make it harder. My concern is differentiating between students who were not invested/paying attention and students who #plagiarized AI. So I fed it what I think is my most cheatable assignment and I'm...not that worried anymore. (1/x)

OK, #moodle users. Has anyone done asynchronous #projectbasedlearning with Moodle? I would love to chat!

Stay tuned for Friday's blog post: How I Switched My Entire Computer Science Curriculum to Run on iPads Just before School Lockdown.

I'm afraid I don't have lots of deep eduthoughts this week. Just in-the-trenches middle school teaching experiences!

But I think you'll get something out of it. Watch this space.

Watch this space for tomorrow's Friday blog post. I'll be explaining Why I Love Online Teaching! Yes, you read that right. @edutooters #virtualedu #pbl #projectbasedlearning #edutooter

I teach middle school computer science. My approach is what I call "Hard Fun", and is entirely project-based, hands-on, just-in-time learning. I love what I do, and my students love it, too! I stress student voice and choice, and I love seeing what they imagine and create. My job is to help them build what they imagine, learning CS skills as needed. It's an unorthodox approach, I think, but it works! #pbl #projectbasedlearning #edutooter @edutooters
