| TimeToKnow | Hello all! Good to be back again #BYOTchat |
| hugghinss | Hello Steve and everyone. I am quickly checking in for #BYOTchat on my way to Austin. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I’m excited to learn more about Project-Based Inquiry. #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | Basically, I was wondering if we thought giving students the freedom to explore on their own would would make #BYOT more effective #BYOTchat |
| wkingbg | Greetings from the #kyste2012 conference in Louisville, KY. —> #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | It’s definitely a change from the factory type classrooms that many of us were taught in and is still the primary style. #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | Then, if we do think that’s the case, how do we transition to that? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | …Just as inquiry/problem-based learning puts the learning more in the hands of the students. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | I want students (& teachers) to be empowered to choose the best tools for their needs, but those devices need to be available… #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @wkingbg Thanks for joining us and for promoting byotchat! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Dr. William Rankin from ACU in Abilene, Texas @rankinw was at #ice12 & talked ab’t some amazing project-based learning inhis class #byotchat |
| wkingbg | Kids need that time 2 explore, especially when it comes 2 educational projects & sites. Most students haven’t spent time on those #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | Waiting for rest of probe ware to come to set up station with mobile devices #BYOTchat |
| s_bearden | @SteveHayes_RB60 sorry to miss #BYOTchat tonight! Am in rehearsal until 10. |
| trescolumnae | @TimeToKnow I think so – but it’s also important to change paradigm of school. For many sts & tchrs, still “imparting knwldge” #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @TimeToKnow: @stevehayes_rb60 @rankinw Dr. Rankin, care to join us? We could really use your insight! #byotchat |
| wkingbg | @stevehayes_rb60 Had over 150 in our BYOD session today! It was great hearing what others schools are planning/doing. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | Each center will have a probe activity that they can connect with their devices #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @trescolumnae Is it difficult, as a teacher, to rework your classroom around project-based inquriy? Or do we need systemic change? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | give the students the problem first, and they develop the skill while attempting to solve it @timetoknow #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @TimeToKnow Yes, it’s difficult – possible, depending on school culture. Systemic change needed, but can “bubble up” from clsrms #BYOTchat |
| hugghinss | Reflection & feedback from students is another important in PBL & BYOT classes. Students must have a voice. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | My @sifteo cubes came in today. Looking for to learning how to effe timely us them #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | What parameters or guidelines need to be set so students are successful? #byotchat without any there would be frustration |
| wkingbg | a different app per station… RT @nathan_stevens: Each center will have a probe activity that they can connect with their devices #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 @timetoknow I am more of a fan of prob SEEKING: Don’t give them the prob—let them FIND the prob AND solve it! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @wkingbg same app when probes are involve, but looking at how to use similar apps in mult. Content areas #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @hugghinss do you see the student reflection an feedback as part of the grade or part of the learning? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | At a recent parent meeting (250+), a lot of parents wanted changes in the way their children were taught – away from factory style #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 Ok – but if we need them to learn something specific, how do we push them to seek “our problem”? #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @stevehayes_rb60 Was PBL mentioned/discussed? What did they say? #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt how do you make sure that the sts find a problem in the range of the learning goal? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | With PBL, students are not only learning content, they are learning skills, collaboration, producing,.. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | …What changes that we all of a sudden need to start PROVIDING the problems? #BYOTchat @TimeToKnow @SteveHayes_RB60 |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @SteveHayes_RB60 For the 1st 5 years of life kids learn SO MANY skills without us providing them with problems… #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @SteveHayes_RB60 (Sounds like I’m talking about a systemic change, aren’t I?) #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 my son’s school is moving to steam, where the arts and tech are infused into every subject #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | parents did not mention PBL by name, but they do want Ss more in their learning and w/ tech #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 True, but at what point do we need to give them guidance? Or can they do that till they graduate?  #BYOTchat |
| wkingbg | RT @stevehayes_rb60: With PBL,students are not only learning content,they are learning skills,collaboration,producing, #byotchat #kyste2012 |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @SteveHayes_RB60 After graduation we don’t provide probs, do we? They are again expected to problem SEEK. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt what changes? Govt mandated curriculum/tests that have consequences if sts aren’t prepared #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | AWESOME! RT @nathan_stevens:my sons school is moving to steam, where the arts and tech are infused into every subject #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @wkingbg the nice part about sifted cubes is the student controls everything #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Give them the problem, give them material to read, ask to collaborate and produce proof they know it – always guide them #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | If students can learn without guidance, are we challenging them to reach their full potential? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | The amount of guidance depends on the scope of the project and the age of the child. #byotchat |
| wkingbg | @mytakeonit Good point, of course I guess it depends on their field of study. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa I get stuck when it comes to the tests. Maybe there are better ways to asses? @innovativeedu has strong opinion abt this #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 Right – but how much of that problem seeking is possible because of hard skills they learned first? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow You need to model and rehearse problem seeking—there is a foundation to be established #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow I hear you! And I don’t intend to be argumentative, either. I’m enjoying the give-and-take #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt do you see problem seeking as possible in all subjects? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @TimeToKnow You need to model and rehearse problem seeking—there is a foundation to be established #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @stevehayes_rb60 Sounds like college! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes – and not necessarily does older = less guidance. My poor HS seniors need much MORE structure for some reason #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thinking more about this issue: my seniors need more guidance b/c they’ve had more indoctrination into “trad” sch #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa If we focused more on integrated studies rather than discrete subjects, CERTAINLY prob seeking could be applied to all #BYOTchat |
| micwalker | Just had our first middle schooler complete BYOD training virtually. http://t.co/4cjW7wry #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @SrtaLisa – I think it is possible Will doing a great deal with my online music theory class next school year. #byotchat |
| wkingbg | I would like to see more BYOD fully implemented by 5th grade so by the time they reach HS they r free from that “indoctrination” #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt I teach a foreign language, so I struggle to see setting my students free w/out guidelines #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | My grandmother taught in a one-room school with students of all ages – I bet she used PBL and didn’t know it #byotchat |
| mguhlin | RT @micwalker: Just had our first middle schooler complete BYOD training virtually. http://t.co/4cjW7wry #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 example from music class, a doc cam over the keyboard help students see exactly how to play #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | that would be like sending them abroad without help, relying on 1 yr of Spanish to survive, some would, others would disappear #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | GREAT! RT @micwalker: Just had our first middle schooler complete BYOD training virtually. http://t.co/mXx2vqLj #byotchat |
| micwalker | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thanks. PBL was a big part of the cohort training we ran last year. Some of those teachers are harnessing BYOD #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa If our goal is learning, a classroom is a TERRIBLE place to learn a language! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa Really? But that’s how we acquire language best! Send students to France—there’s nothing better than full emersion! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | SrtaLisa @MyTakeOnIt …. I struggle to see setting my students free w/out guidelines – Doesn’t the prob create guidlines? #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit Right – I like the idea of PBL; just wondering if all skills can be learned that way. #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @srtalisa @MyTakeOnIt Immersion is an incredible language learning tool. If you just corral them into target language content… #BYOTchat |
| hugghinss | @trescolumnae @SteveHayes_RB60 I have Sts who prefer are so used to traditional learning they are afraid of change #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow I’d argue that it’s only WITH PBL/Prob seeking that ALL of the skills CAN be learned! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @nathan_stevens: @SteveHayes_RB60 example from music class, a doc cam over the keyboard help students see exactly how to play #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 @srtalisa give students the answer and tell them to figure out how to get there #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @hugghinss I see that to, especially with graded assignments. they are willing to play when there is no risk #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I think BYOT / BYOD is needed with today’s Ss to be successful w/ PBL #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @wkingbg my son’s principal put together a video, I will find the link #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Actually I think BYOT / BYOD trumps 1:1 big time in PBL, because they are using the tech tools they have w/ them #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 What if they just don’t reliably have any tech with them? I’m struggling with this one right now #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @SrtaLisa “How much is this assignment worth?” “What do I need to get an A” #byotchat |
| hugghinss | @SrtaLisa Most definitely part o the learning & relationship building between students & me-learning best practices together. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @SteveHayes_RB60 I don’t mind the question of how many points it is, but what do I need to do to get an A? drives me crazy #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | Just dropping by to share our #PBLChat archives, byot, 1:1, are a big part of schools using PBL. http://t.co/j8pVabXN #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @hugghinss I also think struggling together builds the relationship – with technology, no one is always going to have the answers #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit Interesting – I’d love to hear a longer (>140 character ) explanation of that. #BYOTchat http://t.co/GgfqFoWo blog post? |
| hugghinss | @SrtaLisa Absolutely. I just keep reinforcing that not adapting or opening up to 21C skills is a risk to future success #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow Yeah, it’s hard to have this conversation in <140 characters. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MyTakeOnIt: What if they just dont have any tech – collaboration is one solution #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @TheresaShafer Thank you! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 @mytakeonit all tech start with a writing tool and paper, start there #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @nathan_stevens: @SteveHayes_RB60 @mytakeonit all tech start with a writing tool and paper, start there #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 that is why when we start a tech workshop, I ask Teach. to bring in an activity that they like then we add apps #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | A teacher at #ice12 told his JH students to produce at artifact of what they have learned – they did amazing #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @nathan_stevens @SteveHayes_RB60 That’s a great idea. Love it. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @timetoknow @stevehayes_rb60 Sorry it breeds … #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @TimeToKnow @stevehayes_rb60 I breeds comfort with change #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | BYOT / BYOD allows Ss to take their discovery in learning out of the classroom. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @SteveHayes_RB60 Sure:) Was Tech Dir at 1:1 HS moving to BYOT, kids use cell phones too & using all PBL. #byotchat |
| hugghinss | @SrtaLisa Agreed. Reflection again is key. I want them to help me improve as I help them as well = a constant learninin cycle #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @SteveHayes_RB60 i love the idea to have students produce something to show what they learned. very open, but not intimidating #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @hugghinss @SrtaLisa “a constant learninin cycle” – Great! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Do teachers fear that PBL will not prepare Ss adequately for standardized tests? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 What an interesting question. Do we fear standardized tests don’t prepare Ss for solving probs after school? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @SrtaLisa they produces videos, poetry, short stories, – some with a lot of tech – and some with none #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 @srtalisa the key word is produce #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @SteveHayes_RB60 I can see students gaining confidence with tech by seeing peer examples #BYOTchat and seeking advice from friends |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MyTakeOnIt – Sad truth that the fear of standardized tests – keeps some schools from looking past the test #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @stevehayes_rb60 I think so – the whole “standardized testing regime” makes change in the classroom difficult. #BYOTchat |
| jfluhmann | RT @micwalker: Just had our first middle schooler complete BYOD training virtually. http://t.co/4cjW7wry #BYOTchat |
