  •  
    "Design thinking is not rocket science, but when a school is trying to bring a concerted approach to thinking differently, it helps for people to have a common set of tools and language on which to pull or things can appear complicated quite quickly."

Maker Corps Camp Week 10 @make @makeredorg #possibilities #myjobisfun #summerlearning |... - 1 views

    How can we create a "maker camp" as after-school program in SBISD?
  •  
    Great question. I plan on meeting with Claydon next Friday, and am trying to rope in one other person. I think if we had a defined plan, Adami would be on board for an after school program. However, would be nice to find a way to get Duncan on board. What are your thoughts???

    P.S.-I did email Makeredu about being a host campus.

Is It Project-Based Learning, Maker Education or Just Projects? | User Generated Education - 3 views

    "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.

Driving Me To Think: Maker Movement - 0 views

  •  
    "Friday afternoon has become a time that we covet and dream about.  Rather than dreading the last period on the last day of the work week, all of us anxiously await the time set aside to create and make.  Maker Time on Fridays is something we have all come to celebrate.  Students come some weeks with a solid plan of what they will craft and formulate, others weeks it has a more 'fly by the seat of your pants' adventure feel.

Left Bank Learning: When "Work Time" Becomes "Studio Time" | Edutopia - 2 views

  • In my class, for example, we use blogging, a G+ community, Twitter with a class hashtag for backchanneling and Questions of the Week, Diigo for social bookmarking and collaborative annotation, and the entire suite of Google Apps for Education.

      YEAH! I LOVE the fact that she doesn't try to keep the outcomes (probably not the correct word choice) of learning "contained" in a single LMS. This is a point of discussion for me when we try to promote single "containers" for learners...
  • Offer a Creative Toolbox Consider having a brainstorm wall of apps and tools useful for creating films, editing photos, etc. My students help curate this, and even include inspiring artists to follow on Instagram and Vine. They simply write the name on a Post-it and affix it to a giant white poster. I have a G+ community and a Diigo folder for all my "creativity" resources, many of which are tools I happen upon online but don't have the time to try out. If students test them, they can write reviews.
  • design specs!

  • I've written more about the concept of "universal" design specs in my blog.
  •  
    This article SCREAMS at me! I love it and the Specs within. Definitely worth a close read and think!
