gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:16 PM EST

@edventures ideas about how to build a roadmap to the moon - mile markers. Need to do a lot more paving tho - incl buying road tar! #NHed

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:16 PM EST

@mashupmath no not yet, most of my videos involved my Ss and fun activities, such as lip dub's cooking shows, music videos etc. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:17 PM EST

.@mashupmath Heard of Desmos but will need to look into the other two. Thanks for the share! #NHed

@edventures my son loved it! He giggled for about 10 minutes. #nhed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:17 PM EST

@edventures Of course! There is a bit of a learning curve with the other two if you are familiar with animation software. #nhed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:18 PM EST

@edventures Desmos is more teacher-friendly. #nhed

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:18 PM EST

@mashupmath @edventures i'd say, those are pretty powerful programs. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:20 PM EST

#NHed Q2: How do tools transform the mundane into the magical? If it’s not the tech that *makes* a #MakerSpace, what’s the magic ingredient?

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:20 PM EST

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:22 PM EST

#NHed A2 can tech transform mundane...if i have tech, why would i want to be doing something mundane on it...

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: The classroom culture that Ts establish makes a huge difference! Inspire Ss to see tech as the tool for pursuing their interests. #nhed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: I always thought that makerspace=tech; Ive learned that low tech has great merits #nhed

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:22 PM EST

@mashupmath @edventures I've heard of pencil & blender any thoughts? #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

.@shirky17 Good take. So how might you make something magical that might otherwise have been mundane? #NHed

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2: Creativity and the excitement of problem solving and discovery! No boundaries, just innovation #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2: Straws, string, & playdoh is all you need sometimes #NHed

audrallurvey Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2: I think the tools spark the interest. I handed a box of #LittleBits to a 5th gr. and they were off. Never seen them before #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

.@caahearn Low tech is huge because it is so accessible. My friend @kevinhoneycutt is doing entire workshops with... CARDBOARD! #NHed

jbhanlon Dec 13 @ 7:23 PM EST

#nhed tools can make a lesson magic. sound a quick group project can add magic when you give them the tech to create- publish- expand #nhed

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:24 PM EST

@edventures @EdTech_Stories 😱😫 wish I could even do that for work! That sounds amazing!! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:24 PM EST

#NHed A2: For me the magic is in empowering my students to think more, do more, be more, than they might have thought possible.

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:25 PM EST

A2: Posing realworld probs is key! If dig tech is the solution=great! Push Ss to see past the dig tech & work on solving the prob 1st #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:25 PM EST

@caahearn #NHed maker is an approach, philosophy.....any tools/materials applicable

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:25 PM EST

.@csousanh @mashupmath I need to reexamine pencil but Blender can be a steep learning curve if it's the 3D modeler I'm thinking of. #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:25 PM EST

#NHed a2 S control. Watching Ss make that connection is like watching a kid on Christmas morning (or so I assume - not Christian...) #NHed

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:25 PM EST

@edventures @caahearn @kevinhoneycutt and look at what a child and Legos can do. Hours of inventive play. #nhed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:26 PM EST

@csousanh @edventures Pencil Blender is another powerful program, but it will take a bit of time and practice to get a good feel for. #nhed

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:26 PM EST

@shirky17 @mashupmath @edventures I'm always looking for open source/free options. Thnx #nhed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:26 PM EST

@shirky17 mundane can be huge if you've never done it before #accessibility #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:27 PM EST

@edventures #NHed it all depends on WHAT you want Ss to do/learn....and requires innovation...

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:28 PM EST

@csousanh @shirky17 @edventures all of our math animations are available for free on our YT channel #nhed

mccall_kelley Dec 13 @ 7:28 PM EST

#NHed keep talking my peeps!!! I'm just making lists of things I need :)

cpbossman09 Dec 13 @ 7:28 PM EST

#NHed timeout. Patriots are in the driver seat if they win tonight. What a difference a week makes.

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:28 PM EST

.@shirky17 And believe it or not, innovation, even passion, often needs to be introduced, scaffolded and nurtured for Ss to find it. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:29 PM EST

@cpbossman09 Please let the Pats all be healthy for the playoffs! #NHed

cpbossman09 Dec 13 @ 7:29 PM EST

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:30 PM EST

#NHed Q3: What was your best making experience? Is it something you could share with others (students, teachers or parents)?

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:30 PM EST

@edventures #NHed school has been terrible at helping Ss find their passion...even when they have an Innovations class some dont find it

cpbossman09 Dec 13 @ 7:30 PM EST

@RACzyz @edventures That's excellent! I would think that turnout is usually the largest obstacle to holding such events regularly. #nhed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: Redesign process! Nothing is a failure. #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4 #NHed for my Ss its finding physically accessible tools. (hard!) and scaffolding the language for innovation (even harder!)

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

I want to be sure to thank @caahearn for helping me craft meaningful questions for tonight's #NHed chat!

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: not getting frustrated when I can't figure it out. That's when I develop processes to help me and understand how a student works #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

@edventures #NHed i have 7 Ss doing STEM independent study and had an idea of them hosting a STEM night, but we reeled that in a bit

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:43 PM EST

@caahearn Well said! That mindset is so important for Ss to learn to embrace. #nhed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

#NHed a4. For myself, it's getting outside the box to come up with the initial idea.

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

.@gallianstone And when they do? How do they feel? #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

@edventures Glad to do it! It helps me make sense of what I've learned so far! #NHed

NMHS_lms Dec 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

Makerspaces do not have to be STEM-based...uncover themes that resonate w/your school community #nhed #makerspaces https://t.co/4ae78YmUeE

RACzyz Dec 13 @ 7:44 PM EST

@mashupmath @edventures Would love to have larger turnout. A lot depends on time of year. #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:45 PM EST

@gallianstone some ideas https://t.co/VdScLh8sYj #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:45 PM EST

@edventures then their smiles tell me everything I need to know. :) #nhed

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:45 PM EST

#NHed I think many Ts see it as nonacademic time, & are challenged to try & find time to get makertime into their curriculum

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:45 PM EST

@RACzyz @mashupmath @edventures food??? #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

We often jump right into tech when we hear #Makerspaces. But making has far more breadth and depth! #NHed https://t.co/FG8Ed0TGko

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

@csousanh It can be very difficult when trying to work within the confines of something like an enforced pacing guide #nhed

RACzyz Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

@shirky17 @mashupmath @edventures haven't tried that! Always brings a crowd! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

.@gallianstone Truth! Those smiles are gold! #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

@edventures YES! Making doesn't have to equal dig tech #NHed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:46 PM EST

@shirky17 @RACzyz @edventures Haha, is that the bait for attracting more participants? #nhed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:47 PM EST

@RACzyz @mashupmath @edventures cooking is STEM!!! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:47 PM EST

.@csousanh IMO it's possibly the MOST academic of time. What learning really is as opposed to what it has been turned into. #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:47 PM EST

@edventures truth #nhed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:48 PM EST

@edventures #NHed "Maker School" anyone

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:48 PM EST

.@mashupmath @csousanh Every time I hear that phrase I die a little inside. #PaceThis #NHed

cpbossman09 Dec 13 @ 7:48 PM EST

#NHed when Ts are goal oriented they see more competent learners using many tools to get there

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:49 PM EST

@mashupmath even just the challenges of a classrm T to teach all the CC standards, lots of pressure to produce literate & numerate Ss #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:50 PM EST

#NHed Q5: What do you want to learn more about when it comes to makercraft?

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:50 PM EST

@edventures @csousanh can't imagine creating a makerspace and not fully integrating it into our academic day. Maybe that's just me #NHed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:50 PM EST

@edventures @csousanh Tell me about it! That's why it's so important to have enlightened administrators! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:51 PM EST

#NHed P5: What new skill would benefit you? https://t.co/YEjYZQEo7p

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:51 PM EST

The #CollaboratoryMakerspace at @NHCMTC was a huge success! Ppl kept asking how can we stay connected. #nhed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:51 PM EST

@gallianstone @edventures @csousanh #NHed a school shouldnt have a "MakerSpace" like a computer lab (okay kids, time to go make today)

csousanh Dec 13 @ 7:51 PM EST

@edventures @mashupmath but the reality is teaching kids to read and do math is the priority & 1T can't do it all ergo integrated UAs #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:51 PM EST

Here's the "Cardboard Force" workshop I mentioned earlier w/ @kevinhoneycutt #NHed https://t.co/UkSbdp6uID

audrallurvey Dec 13 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5: I want to figure out how to attach my making to the curriculum. Need collaboration for that #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:52 PM EST

.@caahearn @NHCMTC What did you come up with? I know there's a core of NH educators who could use a maker community! #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:52 PM EST

So Kristin Whitworth & I are launching the G+ #NHMakerEd community! Please join us in sharing! https://t.co/u5EMDGLhuH #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:52 PM EST

@shirky17 @edventures @csousanh agree. I love the #makerschool concept! #NHed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:52 PM EST

@caahearn Awesome! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:53 PM EST

.@shirky17 @gallianstone @csousanh Exactly! Make *Making* a part OF learning, rather than APART from it! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:53 PM EST

.@audrallurvey Hey @caahearn - might this be a good launch for your Maker idea? #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:53 PM EST

#NHed of course everyone should read https://t.co/n8649wZK4J

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:54 PM EST

A5: How it can fit into my current job so I can do it for work! 😎#NHed

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:54 PM EST

P5: I want to learn how to weld 😈 #NHed

shirky17 Dec 13 @ 7:54 PM EST

#NHed making should be part of every content...making anchors the learning in the brain...gives us a tactile thing to describe the learning

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

#NHed a5. I need to find out if anyone is talking about the SEL benefits of #making, especially around #trauma #NHed

RACzyz Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

@shirky17 loved that book! #NHed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

A5: How can I get students to the point where they are making content that can be used to effectively teach their classmates? #nhed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

@audrallurvey me too! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:55 PM EST

.@gallianstone That would be an interesting pursuit. In what regards, trauma? #NHed

musiccargirl14 Dec 13 @ 7:56 PM EST

It's almost 1am here, night all! #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:56 PM EST

Def in the beginning stages but we had to find a way to keep people connected! @audrallurvey #NHMakerEd #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:56 PM EST

.@mashupmath Because if they know something well enough to teach it... ! I like where you're going with this idea! #NHed

caahearn Dec 13 @ 7:56 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 Make an instrument!!! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:56 PM EST

.@musiccargirl14 G'night mate! #NHed

gallianstone Dec 13 @ 7:57 PM EST

@shirky17 I just finished it. Was the first place I found ideas for making that were accessible to my students. Great book! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Dec 13 @ 7:57 PM EST

.@shirky17 @caahearn @musiccargirl14 Next #Podstock16 event? #NHed

mashupmath Dec 13 @ 7:57 PM EST

@edventures Yes! I'm working on getting Ss to this point (beyond doing things like presentations) #nhed

RACzyz Dec 13 @ 7:58 PM EST
