Adopting the "dimmer switch" approach to PBL can help teachers in more traditional school settings avoid the hard starts and stops that otherwise come from that “PBL on” and “PBL off” way of thinking. https://t.co/MKIEmipxVg

Use the “dimmer switch” approach and use aspects of PBL in “regular” instruction - not “PBL on” or “PBL off.”

Loving the endless possibilities to integrate content into coding. Today these Anderson 1st Gr Ss were up to bat & programmed Colby to travel the life cycle of a butterfly. Engagement level at 💯 as they created & tested their algorithms. #k2CanToo #weLearnVPS

Creating a classroom read aloud library using @Seesaw. 2nd Gr Sts practiced, recorded & shared a book of their choice as a read aloud to build their Spanish #literacy skills & fluency. Now QR codes are in the books to scan & follow along with a classmate. #weLearnVPS #k2CanToo

Programming Colby to make his way to the image that matches the Spanish word. Where will the spinner land next? These 2nd Gr Sts had a blast planning their algorithms & testing them out. #k2CanToo #weLearnVPS
