Hello friends. Jennifer checking in for bit tonite.
Hi! Gillian lurking and learning...
Kellie Determan here from Michigan. Digital Making connects may where they learn after school. Why not engage them in school.
Hi ! I'm Heather, a teacher-librarian consultant from PA! Making is necessary for innovation!
As always, great to see you!
Jessica here, NC born but moved to CA this year, 2nd grade instr assistant
Makerspaces are an integral part of the learning system because they encourage inquiry and project based learning.
Susan from NC, glad to talk
Hello friends. Jennifer 4th grade teacher from Michigan checking in for a bit tonight.
Awesome to have you here, Susan!
A1 The movement is inclusive, promotes process & collaboration & allows every students to create! https://t.co/Ef6VXyo5ih
My son says "That looks funny. Do it again".
Great having you both here for !
A1: Yes! These are the foundations of all learning. https://t.co/2zcHf2tyjH

Hi I am Terry, 3rd gr T in Fl
Welcome! Great having you lurk and learn with us for !
Enjoy the fair! Family first!
A1: The movement is all encompassing of a growth mindset!
A1: Design and creation are at the heart of both. Ss can learn to see how empowered they are.
Q1: A growth mindset emphasizes that nothing is fixed or predetermined. With work and effort you can make amazing things!
Love the point on Growth Mindset there.
A1: Students are constantly questioning, exploring and retooling. They're building on and growing constantly.
A1 it is about personalizing builds that focus on the learning journey. End products success not necessary
Sounds like the "makings" of a cool blog post.
Through trial and error students are able to learn how to create awesome new things.
A1: All about the journey! https://t.co/OHAbGA3WKC
A1 it is about personalizing builds that focus on the learning journey. End products success not necessary
And we must continue to inspire that. Great response, Lis!
Kellie here from Michigan.
A1 maker promotes the always failing always learning mindset that gives true depth to their learning
Students think they are playing, but we know they are actually learning :)
A1: Allows for exploration, discovery of learning.
love this- true a maker is never finished.
We should also separate makerspaces from the maker mindset. The minds t can happen anywhere
Building on prior knowledge and learning...great analogy! https://t.co/OQMcwCOi9D
A1: Students are constantly questioning, exploring and retooling. They're building on and growing constantly.
Love that mindset! Keep sharing the wisdom.
some of the best learning comes from play 🙂
Glad to have you here, Pal!
Q1 is the topic for this year's knights of make-a-lot panel at iste
A1: Making is learning that is or can be hard fun. Making mistakes isn’t so bad when it is ‘fun’.
agreed! It's the makING, not the makerSPACE!
True, students come up with ideas and bring them to the Makerspace.
A1 Maker movement and growth mindset push though the ceiling. No barriers. No limits.
So true, without a doubt ~
Incredible insights are abounding in this led by !
Should be an awesome panel!
It certainly does !!! You are so right Jennifer.
project based learning is separate from maker and not be confused
It is making with a purpose. Purpose is a key in developing that growth mindset as well.
Missed saying hello to you in ! Thanks for being here.
project based learning is focused on end point where maker is the journey
Hi ! Lisa Rosenfeld - Reading Specialist - dropping in a lil late to the party!
Love that equation there, Susan!
A2: Making brings authenticity and relevancy to learning. It engages students in deeper learning that enhances content.
Great to have you here, Lisa! Another Buncee Ambassador is in the house for !
Agreed, though two friends, not distant cousins. https://t.co/EVqwGrF5vl
project based learning is focused on end point where maker is the journey
You model this well. Would love to see some examples.
That's true. I never considered that. Somewhat new to the maker movement.
A2 engages kids & adds another dimension of learning & understanding-it strengthens any class! https://t.co/qZgzkBhV2H
A2: To me, it's like asking 'why is tech important in all subject areas?' We can't just consume all the time. We have to create
careful not to let the space not be the only place where making can happen Break computer lab idea
A2: Maker projects tap into critical thinking,engineering,collaboration, and problem solving. 21st century skills across content
A2 "making" takes many forms--for me it's the potential for emotional engagement and evoking the "possi… https://t.co/E49ZmNDY4x
This sounds like a future blog post, too!
Great point on "evoking the possible." That's an inspiring call to engage.
This is an area I continue to grow in. Learning how to balance expectations while working in new processes.
A2 Every subject deserves to be explored. Every student deserves the chance to shine. For many-that means creating.
A2: Making/creating gives students a way to voice their thoughts and learning. Add choice to that and you have a winning combo.
This is reminds of something would say.
It certainly does. We will be talking soon.
Yes! Amen! https://t.co/frA2Oj0Ryr
A2 Every subject deserves to be explored. Every student deserves the chance to shine. For many-that means creating.
A1 in maker specific content areas are invisible. Writing to share is just as important as the build
Q2: Students can explore any subject area through making. Possibilities are endless
A2 Adding meaning to content-- real learning. Making personalizes content. I create & share what is important to me.
That is crucial for Making and Learning right there.
A2: Maker allows students to create with purpose and intent. Ask them their purpose and listen with intent. Kids are amazing!
A2: It is so natural for a child to show understanding through creation. We should never squelch that.
we have to see that making has already been done in the classroom and expand to outside
making connections with others as well
One more minute until Q3 for !
One more minute until Q3 for !
Last year I did Mkrsps through centers and my kids were fully engaged. Exciting!
Bravo point! It goes to personalized learning and having students value their own voice and others.
Yes! Making is so "old school." Funny how the pendulum swings in society and education.
Yes! Just another version of ! https://t.co/YCsB3P469p

if you are not sharing back to community than it really isn't maker. If you learn something from web, need to post
Another Buncee Ambassador Sighting! Thanks for for sharing your inspiring work.
+ learning allow for student voice and choice. Love when content connects with hands-on application.
A3 The creative process of making w/ digital & hands-on is similar but physicality differs in production https://t.co/P9UbfLDTen
Blown away by the amazing dialogue and sharing happening here in . This chat is in action.
we have to figure how to balance the digital and the physical
it is like STEM and literacy until you realize that all of those parts are a literacy
Yes, the right tool for the right task at the right time for the right person. Then experiment! https://t.co/UqfcDzJZsn
we have to figure how to balance the digital and the physical
Keep expanding on that, please. Interesting point!
A3: Both do use Ss individuality. Digital does take away from some manipulation and choice. Less experience with digital.
A3 I love both physical & digital making-I found that one enhances the abilities & design of the other! https://t.co/eO2CeSLrWZ
A3: *jumping in late* digital making and hands on making a lot alike because Ss are still using mediums that work for them
Do you think labels help or hurt?
A3 Both forms of making require students to integrate the 4Cs. Making is making even if the material changes.
A3: Is it that different? You plan, research, prototype, build, iterate, have a product and share.
A2: Making engages the hands and the mind. Every S can be a successful learner this way.
This is why I have no tech, low tech, and high tech in my space.
That is our why for what we do to serve, support and inspire kids.
A3: the mediums of making have transformed and expanded into the digital world.
labels put people on one side of the fence or the other. Creates barriers between content areas when all are 1
and the heart...empathy helps students to bring meaning and purpose to making
Another Ambassador Sighting!
Another Ambassador Sighting!
By the way, hey all! I'm Karie- 7th ELA!
You should make that great insight into a Buncee. Thanks for sharing!
The amount of dig. tech in your space vs. non dig. tech items depends on your students. The space should be about them.
A3 all are equal but all designs should start with a paper sketch
A3: Digital and hands-on are like besties. They work well with each other and yet neither look exactly the same.
Yes, getting into 4Cs territory there!
A3: To be honest, many Ts (like me) are still discovering the power of digital creation. I know we can combine them as well.
Sharp insight there. Creativity always wins.
digital is should be part of the modeling process. Create a design in multiple forms
Another minute until Q4 for .
Another minute until Q4 for .
agree 100%! I always tell Ss that paper drafts help clarify ideas! a must with any dig. prod in class!
is now trending in USA, ranking 44
Excellent! Thanks for expanding. You might have a blog post there.
Yes! My Ss LOVE ! Why play someone else's game when you can MAKE your own. … https://t.co/1SvJ2S01ar
A3 Tangible Making needs tools of digital making to for 21C learners to share , collaborate and communicate… https://t.co/8zkSfZhRjo
without a paper sketch, students will waste 20 minutes trying to come up with something
totally agree! Some Ss will nat. gravitate to hands on and flourish- others will move towards dig.
Making is inherently REFLECTIVE! Love that! 💡💡💡 https://t.co/EQcUux0Lgm
agree 100%! I always tell Ss that paper drafts help clarify ideas! a must with any dig. prod in class!
A4: It would be a great tool to capture and share the process of making in many cases.
Join ! We have a great talk going on right now regarding .
A4: intro to Ss- let them tinker! Then, add it as a choice to a final project or assign. Once Ss use once- they'll ❤️
Q4: Buncee allows for creativity. Ss can apply the same ideas when designing a Buncee as any other Mkrsp item
A3 both balance the design process. Digital usually is the sharing mechanism for the physical
I love for and hands-on making
Totally!! I call it the "brain dump" phase!
A4 Use to share learning process, document journey, or as a project to teach others about your topic of exploration.
I work with CTE pre-service teachers. We live in the design process
I call it "don't tell me, show me"
I just got a Bloxels set today. Awesome!
I like to use to help make those unfortunate "boring" topics- more fun!
You hit it there! uplifts and inspires a whole school culture.
A4 use to help tell the story of creating
Now, I need to begin incorporating it! I know just what I want to do. More about planning and beginning!
We appreciate you inspiring our students!
Usually, but and are great for https://t.co/dxsYNqSnrs

Using as a tool as a T has created a spark and an interest. I am excited to see what they do with
You got this! We are here to help you, Pal!
A3:Creating is the similar. It may never become physical, but digital creation takes on similar work. Learners engaged.
Just got some for an upcoming PD. Excited to infuse more design into our work.
A4 Students are always wanting to make cards for something. has amazing templates.
That pic looks a little familiar there, Pal!
This is also a great way for students to inspire one another!
Our last question for the night is up in one minute.
Our last question for the night is up in one minute.
Thanks! We see this all of the time with students creating cards to
Look forward to see what they create ignited by that spark!
Like the student that isn't good at drawing but rocks ceramics
Buncee is a great place to showcase pics of your students work
It sure is! We want Ss to inspire each other, too!
I agree- especially when I see how engaged my Ss are when creating with

Want to get my students into digital moviemaking and claymation
Happy to help with that! Appreciate your presence in this chat!
exactly! And I've had several kids who don't draw well AT ALL, but give them an iPad- magic!
A5: I plan to start with a Reading response, more than likely in connection with so we can share with global audience
It's so fulfilling to see what we learn from ! https://t.co/MOilRXLXS3
You hit it there! uplifts and inspires a whole school culture.
The students sang Christmas carols in the school and I captured their voices. Love that feature on
Nothing makes us happier !
I do, too! The App rocks and so does the person holding the phone in that pic.
My students have to do a Personal Project. Part of it is presentation. Will be encour. dig. making
We do, too! Thanks for sharing that about out App.
Yes! Tools should help our students to create beyond their self-imposed limits. Great design is great… https://t.co/va3excdW4x
exactly! And I've had several kids who don't draw well AT ALL, but give them an iPad- magic!
A5: we just took a field trip today- I challenged the Ss to download the app and make a "flyer" of their trip! We'll see
Wow! Can't wait to see what they created! Please share when you can.
You have encouraged your students to apply a tool to a real purpose. Bravo! https://t.co/tNX40nfivc

Totally!! They were loving it when I was showing it to them on the long bus ride home!
Sorry to miss tonight, Ss are creating such fun Buncees on medical chapter1
