- 10. Act 1: Launching In and Letting Go Connie Weber, describing the launch of a project: “ For the teacher, there's this giant Letting Go. Now, that requires some effort. I can see it in my mind—it's me walking away, turning my back, going somewhere else, not allowing myself to hover. It's me communicating, ‘I'm at your service,’ and, ‘May the force be with you.' It's me utterly and totally handing over the reins, let come what may. The project is theirs .”
- 11. Act 1: Launching In and Letting Go Photo courtesy Connie Weber George Mayo expands on letting go: “ That's the beauty, and excitement, of PBL in my opinion. It's not only a leap of faith, but it also has a lot to do with trusting your students and knowing that they will rise to the challenge.”

Editor's Notes
- Again, the conversation in the Classroom 2.0 group helped us focus on these themes.
- Suzie - We mined so many thoughtful comments. Why don’t you talk about you’re ‘letting go experiences’.
- Bicycle metaphor. JK I’d add here it’s about confidence in yourself, too. With practice you know you’ve set the project up right and the conditions for success are in place.
- Jane introduces. Continuation of the first session, inquiry doesn’t stop, Reframing, guiding questions.
- Neil explains, uses CBP as context for how he helps kids manage by asking questions, not telling them what to do next or how to solve their problems. They got a museum curator thinking!
- Neil blogs about the process. How does writing as a project unfolds help you reflect on the process? (TIP)
- He uses playing a game as a metaphor throughout his book.
- Suzie: Melded instructional design process with industry planning method and explicitly teaches the processes of doing projects
- How many of you use project foundry
- Finish with: Any questions for Sue
- Suzie - another thoughtful gem from the the group discussion. Jane sez, I wondered about the tension between driving with step and guiding with milestones... Talked both Kim and George about this… What do you think?
- SB introduces Nicole The near future has the Kotaseks living in a strawbale house overlooking the Minnesota River, raising a handful of ducks and chickens, tending to a huge asparagus patch and attempting to raise enough in a garden to supplement their take-out pizza habit.

- Conversation.
