Suzie Boss's Comments

Thanks Suzie! Our school is trying to move toward a more project based learning environment and I love to share good resources with my teachers whenever I can. I've invited them to join the group as well.

Thanks for your comment! I can't tell you how overwhelmed it is, just beginning PBL. I feel like I am barely treading water... but will definately start contributing to the discussions. Any advice for a PBL novice?

Thanks Suzie.

Thanks for your welcome!

Hi Suzie and TQ for the welcome. I am very eager in doing all this and am looking for the best time that suits me to join in discussions .Hope it will be very very soon :-)

Thank you for the welcome, Suzie. I am new to the site but have already learned a great deal by listening to a few of the archived webinars. I'm looking forward to participating in the discussions in the future. Thanks for sharing your expertise in such a positive and encouraging way. I am leading a PLC that next year will be embarking on an effort to be more project-based in our approach to learning/teaching and look forward to continuing my own learning over the summer in preparation for a terrific year!

Yong Zhao is one of our keynote speakers at our Leadership Conference in Nov. in Borneo. I look forward to meeting him.

Thanks for the shout-out in Edutopia, Susie! The article was very nicely done - and it fomented some great conversation in the comments.

Hi Suzie,

I'm always interested in learning more about PBL! Looking forward to the conversation.

Thanks for the Pumpkin, pumpkin. (You ever see Pulp Fiction?)

Oops got my two email addresses mixed. I'm at gingacrockett@gmail.com What is your time frame? I teach from 8:30 to 3:30 daily. Morning/evening?

I'd be happy to! My Skype is gingacrockett, and my email is gingacrockett@kts.bssd.org.

Suzie--

Did you get my response. I haven't heard back. I know it is later in the week, but I am willing to do an interview.

Just started scanning your book--it looks very interesting. I enjoy the way it weaves student and teacher learning.

Regarding filters--You can get a domain for $15/year and pay $5-10/mo and install all the open source web 2.0 tools that you could ever want with almost any web hosting service. Although I suppose it is possible some filter may block it, it is very unlikely. If one had a large school or audience, one might need to expend somewhat more.

We've had some great discussions about project-based learning lately. To listen in, check out this podcast from Teachers Teaching Teachers or this recording from ISTE Island in Second Life.

It was nice to speak with you yesterday. I appreciate and look forward to your upcoming post.

It's truly amazing how small our world and how large our classroom has become!

I'm delighted to learn that ISTE's special interest group for teacher educators (SIGTE) has selected Reinventing Project-Based Learning as the focus of its 2008 book study group. They are using ning as a tool for building an online community. If you're interested in joining (or just watching how the conversation and community grow on a new ning site), check out http://sigte2008.ning.com/

Hi Suzie - I am from Portland too!

Thanks, Hans! I'm looking forward to the conversations ahead.
