  •  
    As we continue to look at teachers, students, and learning becoming more "innovative", it is important that leadership changes.

Leadership needs to not only "think" different, but they need to "act" different.

Educational Makerspaces: Part 3 | Teacher Librarian - 6 views

  •  
    Fleming & Kurt. (2015). Practical implementation of an educational makerspace: Part 3. A culture of innovation in an educational makerspace arises from student ownership rather than from the presence of high-tech tools. Owning the learning experience opens unexplored horizons to students because independent thinkers have the uncanny ability to strike out into uncharted territory. Educational makerspaces are the ideal environment to foster such independent exploration, but the map for creating engaging educational makerspaces remains relatively sparse.

The possibilities are wide open, as you'll see in this playlist of videos about the future of libraries.
