ckoos1 - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens Tell me more. Mixed with what? Computers and...? #isedchat

nathan_stevens Sep 15 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@skeeTX we have always been doing maker projects but didn't have a name to contain all these projects #isedchat

engineerteacher Sep 15 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@skeeTX Spot on! If you establish an innovation culture, your entire school becomes a S-led #makerspace! #isedchat

skeeTX Sep 15 @ 9:08 PM EDT

If we Ts are effective, we should be emphasizing all of the maker space points in every class #isedchat

ckoos1 - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@JHouser1 I love the collaboration too. Working with others will serve them well later. Plus two heads are better than one. #isedchat

gen_learn Sep 15 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: tough I think because makerspace is such a general term and can mean such different things in different schools & contexts #isedchat

ckoos1 - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@T_HEB Welcome to #isedchat!

skeeTX Sep 15 @ 9:09 PM EDT

T_HEB Sep 15 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Yes it is @skeeTX but devoted space allows for proj in progress to be observed, tools to be stored, & comm space for multi age. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Sep 15 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@skeeTX agree yet a good place for some to start as they re-imagine curriculum/ teaching + learning #isedchat

skeeTX Sep 15 @ 9:10 PM EDT

We started a special class for our 5th and 6th graders with a curriculum for the makerspace. Now the younger kids are joining in. #isedchat

ckoos1 - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Q2: What range of subjects can be taught in the makerspace? What types of activities can be done there? #isedchat

ckoos1 - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@skeeTX Interesting point. Does having a specific space make it more intentional? Or is it a culture thing? Or ? #isedchat

Learn21Tech Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@skeeTX nice! We've also done that @HFAPgh in our cultural literacy classes led by @educateyinz #isedchat

nathan_stevens Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@Learn21Tech but I also like spaces big mouth for multiple classes to be in #isedchat

skeeTX Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@T_HEB I agree, just find the language to be a bit over the top. Ow. #isedchat

engineerteacher Sep 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: The sky is the limit! Don’t think so? Ask a student! They will tell you how they can connect things they build to subjects. #isedchat

A2 and it isn't STEM or STEAM or STREAM, it is learning that happens in a makerspace #isedchat

T_HEB Sep 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT
