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.

Project Time and How My Students Made It Theirs | Blogging Through the Fourth Dimension - 0 views

  •  
    "Students have read library books on countries, they have studied maps, they have created impromptu map quizzes, and yes, they have even created presentations.  The learning that has happened has been tangible as kids ask questions about the broader world, about their place in it.  When I asked them what they thought, the response was overwhelming; "We love it, Mrs. Ripp.  Please don't change it.  What will we focus on next?""

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.
