Project Based Learning chat on Twitter
 * 1) PBLchat

Suggestions for Professional Development around PBL Project scrap yard: What if we had an online repository of projects that could be taken apart, retooled, and improved upon through teacher collaboration? This suggestion reminds me that project work should be iterative, with students taking part in cycles of review, reflection, and improvement en route to a final product. Using the same approach for instructional design helps teachers improve project plans.


 * Celebrations:** Celebrating student learning helps build a positive classroom climate and reminds students how much they are accomplishing through the hard work that projects demand. One participant (@archangel76) observed, "We always publically credit/celebrate students who give us great ideas. The more you share the more you care." A student on the chat quickly confirmed that celebrations of learning "help the student feel like they did something worth talking about."
