The students then are allowed to advance at their own rate through their chosen series of activities, and as they pass each checkpoint become 'experts' that can help new students starting at a 'beginner' level. 

Example
Sherwood Mills' tech club is an example of this; here is a link to the gateway students will be using, complete with three separate chains (Art, Music and Coding) while being able to post their work at separate parts of the chain and become 'experts' to new 'beginner' students and teacher on the subject matter they've posted on!

Often found in the learning commons (very similar to the library, including craft supplies, Lego building pieces, 3D printers, tools, hardware supplies, and various other types of technology). Our activity today (the 'Rock Paper Scissors' challenge) was an example of the Maker Space model of learning! 

Example
Using an ozo bot for students to draw a story map for a Retell, and then code the story bot to travel through the Retell map (as the student narrates the bots journey through the student-created map)

Conversation sites and apps such as Snapchat, Discord, and Skype are often used as portals for this!]]> 2017-10-06 14:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/modelsoflearning/wish/194704349
