Hey, welcome to Asia. I'm in Bangkok. Maybe we'll cross paths again at some point.

PBL that is messy and uncertain may not be the best for meeting our current standards oriented goals, but I suspect that it could help kids learn other stuff that is not in the curriculum and might in the end be more uesful when they are forced to confront uncertainty in the future. #EduSky

I think it depends on the goal of the PBL. In particular I am thinking a lot about how school should be preparing students for the complex, uncertain world that they will graduate into. If PBL is too structured and scaffolded then it reinforces the compliance oriented, teacher knows best paradigm.

Hey @matthewabel.bsky.social I think it is possible to have both PBL and skill building. The strength of PBL is that it shifts the locus of control to the students, which I think is more and more important these days. A good PBL class should provide scaffolds to support skill building. #EduSky

I pay for www.screencastify.com because it is awesome. I can record my screen while demonstrating a skill and immediately get a URL to share the video. Also 1 click to upload to YouTube. Lots of other cool features I still need to try. #LateChat #EduSkyChat
