  • Don’t view technology as just one more thing to add to your day.
  • If technology is something that you try to add after you have planned your reading, writing and math, you are destined to fail at “integrating” technology.
  • use technology when it allows you to do something in a better way than you have done before or to do something that was formerly impossible to do.

  • You can select a tool or app that will give your students an online audience for their learning and connect them with other classrooms and experts around the world. That tool may be as different as a classroom blog or Twitter or Skype.
  • My days with technology do NOT all run smoothly. Sometimes there are many stops and starts.
  • Sometimes a tool that I rely on will not work for some reason or other.
  • things don’t always run smoothly when I am teaching without technology either.
  • For anything that will become a learning routine in my early years classroom, whether it involves technology or not, I model, model, model it and then we practice it together until the students can do it independently.
  • Flexibility and a backup plan are important ingredients in any classroom, but particularly in a space that includes the use of technology.
  • My suggestion for people who are hesitant to use technology in significant ways is to start with one thing. Think of one way technology could enhance or deepen the learning in your classroom and then just try it. If you fumble and falter for a bit, keep trying.
  • To my six-year-old students, and in fact to all students in school today, computers, tablets, smart phones, interactive boards, etc. are not technology. They just are. It’s their teachers and parents who consider these items to be something new or unusual.
  • These tools have the power to become the stuff of teaching and learning if we will let them. Don’t think of them as technology. They are just part of the fabric of life around us. Students need to be shown how to use them to learn.

  • To realize the opportunity that the maker movement offers education, students need room for self-directed learning and interdisciplinary problem solving.
  • While setting up spaces for hands-on tinkering, schools also need to make mental space for creativity, risk taking, and learning from failure. Those qualities are central to maker culture, but still rare in too many school settings.
  • More important than gaining access to expensive tools is learning how to turn raw ideas into prototypes that can be tested, refined, and improved through feedback.

  • Students who gravitate toward an engineering or STEM approach to problem solving may get fresh ideas from watching artists work out solutions (and visa versa). Collaboration is more likely to happen when thinking and tinkering take place in the open.
  • parents team up with their children for monthly Maker Saturdays.
  • Encourage students to tell the stories behind their ideas and describe the process that took them from inspiration to finished product.
  • If you're interested in seeing a school makerspace in action, check out this curated list from Bob Pearlman
  • Maker Education Initiative maintains a resource library, including sample projects.
