An amazing first week on our @ItsChompshop in the #MakerSpace. First day was learning tool safety and now we begin stage 1 of the new #Cardboard #Cosplay Unit. Students are very excited for the new tool! #teacher
Summer reading list. A little late posting but a good example of taking time for fun mixed with time for learning. #makerspace #teacher
What are you reading?
New year, new tools for student engagement. Hellooooooo @Sphero Power Pack! Can’t wait to see what experiences my students can create with these new devices! #makerspace #teacher
@printablescom @josefprusa @Prusa3D crossed an item off my #3DPrinting bucket list this summer. Prusacaster printed, assembled, tuned, and rocked!! An amazing design by the Prusa community of makers.
Excited to welcome back my colleagues with 3D printed treats! #makerspace #3DPrinting #teacher #snacks
…and they say teachers shouldn’t work over the summer. But then, we wouldn’t have a fully functional, 3D printed, electric guitar!!!🎸 can’t wait to show off in August! #3DPrinting #makerspace @Prusa3D @josefprusa The #prusacaster is AMAZING!!
Food Truck Challenge: design your own logo, menu, and diorama. Introduction: food truck madness, a March Madness style competition of the best food trucks in St. Louis. A fun way to start and a great way to get them thinking of qualities that make a great food truck. #makerspace
I started my MakerSpace Independent Study with my MS students. I’m excited to offer the chance to explore new topics and go deeper into old content. I created an actual “menu” of content choices and fully committed to the MakerSpace Cafe experience by dressing us all as chefs!
Let’s just say, one of my students was lacking confidence in their submission. #sketchup @SketchUp 😂 But at least they are honest! #makerspace
Community Science Showcase at the @STLScienceCtr. Showing off what makes GCAA the best! #makerspace
Absolutely!! One of the expectations in my classroom is to embrace productive struggle.
It's OK to struggle – that's how learning happens!
(Reminder via T Britt) #BiteSizedPD
ALT Anchor chart titled "Productive Struggle." Below, it says "It's OK to struggle. We need to remind ourselves we can do hard tasks. Learning happens in these moments!" The chart provides options beneath these statements: "If you... You can..."
Pretty good info!
Student agency is one of the easiest ways that teachers can begin to personalize learning, thus increasing interest & engagement!

I have always loved Nutcrackers. Favorite holiday play as a kid, favorite holiday decoration from both Grandmas. Now, 3D printing has brought that love to life again! @Thangs3D for the file.
