#wvedchat A makerspace embraces the purest form of learning. Self-directed, driven by mistakes - failure, & no end in sight.

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:11 PM EST

I am seeing so many creative space answers. I think so too. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:11 PM EST

It is a challenge for many teachers. We have plenty who struggle with leaving students with unknowns to figure out. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3: I may be a bit different b/c I prefer that a makerspace be standards free 1st and foremost. Activities with them can be avail. #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:29 PM EST

It looks like it will be a while before that bridge it built #wvedchat

In reply to @hobartvera

cnicolemorris Jan 24 @ 8:29 PM EST

A2: goal for my Ss is communication skills and problem-solving/teamwork, which is hard for them, it's a low-stakes way to practice #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:29 PM EST

Q4 #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Jan 24 @ 8:29 PM EST

maybe we could work this into our PBL #wvedchat

In reply to @PennyRayhill, @hobartvera

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:30 PM EST

A4 I think we have been talking about this already #wvedchat

hobartvera Jan 24 @ 8:30 PM EST

A4. Backward design- look at the standards first. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:30 PM EST

In our PK-2 school, the ITRT creates "design briefs" that use SOLs for Ts to utilize #wvedchat

mburk81 - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4: Create a driving question built on standards! #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Jan 24 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4 standard then activity #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:31 PM EST

It can be hard for Ss to express themselves to others I think this is a great place to work on communication skills #wvedchat

In reply to @cnicolemorris

tisinaction - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:31 PM EST

where I am in VA is very strict with SOLs. Ts have so much time 4 each standard with their team, so they don't branch #wvedchat

In reply to @beccarecco

mburk81 - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:31 PM EST

Begin with the end in mind! #wvedchat

JoshSektnan Jan 24 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4: We would have writing activities that would follow the MakeShop activity. Cover multiple standards across the curriculum #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Jan 24 @ 8:33 PM EST

Yes! #wvedchat

In reply to @hobartvera

angie_milliman Jan 24 @ 8:33 PM EST

A4 With focus on the learning process/experience the Ss will touch on materials in the standards. As facilitator we go further #wvedchat

beccarecco Jan 24 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4 -- start with the standards, then build makerspace around activities that will allow Ss to explore and learn around them. #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Jan 24 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: we've worked in themes to meet content standards, also easy to tie in reading,writing, speaking, and listening #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jan 24 @ 8:34 PM EST

I like the reflection the our Ss complete after an activity. #wvedchat

In reply to @JoshSektnan

angie_milliman Jan 24 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4 cont.: The Ts can expand on those bigger concept to guide the discussion and reflection as the Ss work/learn #wvedchat

beccarecco Jan 24 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6 --give them ownership of their process and their work. When Ss own the process and the product, they want it to be awesome. #wvedchat

Q7. I love the campfire discussions at the end of each session. Student journaling is another great assessment. #wvedchat

A7: Very anecdotal feedback. Personalized. Individual growth can be easily observed. Student discussion/reflection/writing #wvedchat

A7: Have the students assess themselves through a series of questions. You do not want to always grade them based off the product. #wvedchat

A7: Work with a student to design a rubric at the beginning of a project, maybe focus on process- great formative assessment #wvedchat

A7: A gallery walk with peer feedback would be fun, too! We used that strategy for #scratch projects #wvedchat

Campfire is a fun way to get Ss feedback #wvedchat
