Grade 3 students from @FishkillFrogs and @EvansEaglesPTA are applying NGSS science concepts in collaboration with @Habitat_org to develop informational content that will be shared through the building’s social media channels. In the PBL-AI classroom, students are not simply absorbing information, they are critically consuming it. They learn to analyze, question, and evaluate diverse sources. Students use @briskteaching and @GetSchoolAI to extract insights and synthesize ideas. This is not about passively gathering knowledge; it’s about transforming what they take in and using it as fuel for creation. And in this context, creation isn’t just an end goal, it’s a means of contributing meaningfully to the world. @TKtalksSTEAM @codebreakeredu @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @edu_janelle

Science is woven into everything we see, do, and explore. It’s the key to understanding ourselves and our world! If it’s not our students’ favorite subject, we’re doing it wrong especially in elementary school. Level it up with #PBL: 🔎 Hands-on investigations that spark curiosity 🌱 Real-world connections that make learning meaningful 🛠️ Student-driven inquiry where they explore, create, and problem-solve When science is relevant, engaging, and connected to the real world, students don’t just learn it, they love it! #STEM #ProjectBasedLearning @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @codebreakeredu @ngssSfocus @drbonkwcsd @paulandersen

Sir Ken Robinson compared teaching to gardening—we can only create the right conditions for growth. The PBL environment does exactly that! 🌿 Explicit instruction = Planting seeds 🌿 Workshops & small groups = Nurturing growth 🌿 Student autonomy, rich research, authentic audience & real-world products = Blooming critical thinking and creativity! @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @codebreakeredu

What makes @tinkercad a powerful tool for prototyping in #NGSS #PBL? ✅ Easy to use ✅ Realistic virtual designs ✅ Integration with 3D printing ✅ Encourages iterative design & innovation @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @OfficialNGSS @ngssSfocus @OakGroveES40

Teachers can dabble with AI in one-off lessons, but will that truly transform education? The real game-changer is PBLAI, where students apply their knowledge to create with authentic purpose and for real audiences, breaking the status quo. @briskteaching and @GetSchoolAI aren’t just tools; they’re collaborators in deeper learning and innovation. @TKtalksSTEAM @codebreakeredu @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @sheaferoadrocks @FishkillFrogs

Research & knowledge building in PBL go beyond textbooks! Students engage in hands-on investigations, collaborate with @GetSchoolAI Sidekick, work with diverse texts & media to deepen understanding. It’s about inquiry, creation, and real-world connections! @TKtalksSTEAM @edu_janelle @codebreakeredu @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @sheaferoadrocks

We were excited to be guests on the Teach Smarter podcast from #FETC2025 talking all things PBL! We dove into The Tapas Approach to PBL and our new project, Beyond the Algorithm PBLAI. Thank you @petesiner and Stephanie! @TKtalksSTEAM @codebreakeredu @mraspinall @dailystem @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd

Amazing grade 3 students at Evans Eagles launching into PBL with @TrevorZoo! They will be collaborating with Kinry Elementary student through @padlet to draft their Need-to-Know questions. I love this strategy because it reveals who they are: empathetic as they think about the audience, curious about NGSS content, or focused on executive skills like deadlines. Inquiry-driven learning in action! @TKtalksSTEAM @ajgerson @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd
