How might we incorporate some "skill teachin'" in our makerspaces? What skills MIGHT we want to invest some time in before unleashing our students? Amanda, I'm recalling some of the challenges from last spring...

grit and character lab... soft skills - might be worth a look.

"Is It Project-Based Learning, Maker Education or Just Projects?"

I love that they point out the need to understand the skill. PBL and Making is very time consuming, and requires so much investment. I think a lot of people have been left with a bad taste due to expectations that weren't met. Wondering how we can create a system that translates what these are, and how they might look in any class.... Wanting people to see these two learning methods in a positive way, and as something they can master.
