"At the Denton mini-maker faire, I noticed Trey of Denton Public Library was teaching young children to solder! I was so excited about this empowering activity, I asked if he'd collaborate with me and come teach my high school students to solder during one of our makerspace lunch events. So for two days last week, Trey brought 10 soldering stations, some Makey badges, and a whole lot of knowledge.  I loved how Trey told the students, "It's tool, don't be afraid of it, just respect it.""

"In my time working with primary students, I have seen them use Google Apps for Education (GAFE) to create, collaborate, and innovate. With time and practice, they became fluent with the apps, and changed the learning culture in our classroom. Using Google Docs, Drawings, Slides, Forms, and Sheets, my second graders were empowered, and became technologically literate, through these GAFE exercises."

"Making looks different at different types of makerspaces. However, schools, public libraries, and even artist collaboratives have some universal themes that tie us all together (and owning a 3D printer isn't one of them.)"

"The Internet is full of useful information … and it's getting fuller every day. The struggle these days isn't finding enough information. It's knowing what to do with it when we find it. That's curation. Students can act like museum curators, finding the best and most representative pieces to add to their collections to share with others. It's an important life skill, too. As they get older, knowing how to gather, organize and make sense of useful bits of information will help them be more productive and efficient."
