With their Holocaust unit coming up, I shared with our 8th grade teachers the comic book making site that Erin Boyd posted - Pixton.com.  Having taught the Holocaust unit, I know that some of the teachers offer the students a menu of activities from which to choose after reading different novels.  I thought this would be a fun choice to add to the list.  I offered to work with students in the media center or in labs on their comic books.

I purchased a set of Magnatiles. Students were encouraged to build up, not flat, since this is the bigger challenge :D They did struggle, since some of the properties of magnets don't really make building as easy as with regular blocks!  They had a lot of fun and are begging to come in during recess to build-SUCCESS!

We purchased a button machine from Amazon.  The students can design and create their own buttons.  They are popular for holidays, birthdays and clubs.

For February I set up our new Osmo Creative Set. Students interact with a friendly monster who suggests and guides them to draw different props and scenery. Once drawn, the objects are "pulled" into the animated scene on iPAD. Students see their creation come to life.

There is a website called Pixton.com where students can log in and make their own comic books.  Since a plot might be difficult to come up with, I thought students could use historical events to jump start their comic book writing.  We will have laptops set up in the Media Center where students can get to creating.  There are even characters to choose from!

We are combing art and technology with 3D printing.  The students can sign up to come in during their recess time.  They learn how to download a premade 3D printing model to be printed as well as how to create something of their own using Google Sketchup.  They can print one of each as long as they put the time and effort into it.

My 5th graders are doing research projects about an inventor or invention. Their research will be used to create a book that will be on display at our annual Literacy on the Lawn event. I will be teaching them how to use Tagxedo to create word art about their inventor or invention. This will become the front cover of their book.

I used a student padlet as online book reviews. Students post their reviews online. Once a student has completed theirs, they train someone else on how to use it. In my Afterschool Book Club they review their books orally then all get a chance to log on and post, since the padlet can be used by multiple users.

This month we focused on two projects using our Little Bits Base Kit.  Students chose the level of difficulty and the project they wanted to experience.

I am setting this up now   as well as our iPad with the iMovie app for the students to practice making trailers.  If they do something cute, we can show on the morning news!

Our MakeIt Lab is having a "year in review" for the remainder of the year, with several stations set up that had been out at some point this school year.  Students will be encouraged to tinker and play whenever they have a free period (we have a large off-campus DE population as well as students taking FLVS) or during lunch.  We have out: Ozobots, Sphero, Makey Makey, Scratch coding cards, Origami, Macramé, and LittleBits.

I saw these Ozobots at Barnes and Noble today. The kids are engaged and enjoy the problem solving aspect of it.  So you may want to choose it as one of your next  Makerspace choices during your next shopping experience.
