You can’t “learn from mistakes” if you aren’t willing to risk making mistakes. The process is often more important than the product. Students often don’t want to reflect on the process but sharing the process with others is very powerful for both the maker and the peers with whom they are sharing.]]> 2020-11-07 17:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900279932 drtheresa https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900287830 One way to share the “process” of making is to document with photos. Then you can build a text document or a vlog post or... you don’t have to type to make your “how to”...students of all abilities can find ways to share their thinking via a variety of media.]]> 2020-11-07 18:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900287830 drtheresa https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900294843 NASA has great resources for STEM and they are universally designed.

Using both low- and high-tech Makerspace tools, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, Makey Makeys, conductive boards and craft materials, youth design, fabricate, test and refine multi-modal books, games and STEM graphics that incorporate tactile and audio features. These products are designed by and for learners with visual impairments as well as other physical and learning disabilities. Through the project, middle and high school youth develop technology skills and learn about STEM careers as they design and create multi-modal picture books, graphics and games that can be seen, touched and heard!”]]> 2020-11-07 18:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900297193 drtheresa https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/f8iixp9g2m7vqe0u/wish/900343809 Lori Cullen, one of the EdCamp participants, is in Pittsburgh.
