MAKERSPACES AND DESIGN BASED & PROBLEM BASED LEARNING IN ACTION
Reflect on these words and phrases: Makerspace, Maker Movement, FabLab, Makey Makey, Hackerspace. What do you think you know about them? If it's nothing, that's OK. Read on to find out....
Add a text box on your website and choose a standard from your grade level (any subject area). Copy/paste the standard and tell in two to three sentences how a makerspace could help your students meet a learning objective related to this standard. HINT: There are some examples in the article but come up with your own idea that matches your subject area standard.
What would a Makerspace in your classroom look like? Digital or Vintage or a combination? Where might it be and what would materials and resources would you include? (Make this a meaty paragraph)
And lastly, write another *meaty* paragraph about your honest opinion of makerspaces and whether you think they are worth the time, effort, and money for students. You may also reference the video content you watched for this topic in your reflection, if you wish.
MAKE SURE TO PUBLISH AND IF YOU WISH, SUBMIT A "DONE" IN CANVAS TO INDICATE IT'S PUBLISHED
IN A NUTSHELL THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THIS POST:
An embedded video of your choice with a three sentence caption underneath.
A robust paragraph answering the questions after reading the short article from We Are Teachers
A robust paragraph sharing your honest opinon about makerspaces noting the things in italics to include in your paragraph. TIP: Draw from the videos you watched.
**For this assignment, a meaty, robust paragraph is at least 7-8 sentences. NOT 3-4 (those are wimpy paragraphs).
