Students love it]]> 2016-10-21 14:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132352617 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132352864 2016-10-21 14:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132352864 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132352907 2016-10-21 14:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132352907 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353007 The teacher/librarian workroom (and storage room) & conference room have become student-shared/focused workspaces. Challenge: teachers still want to store things there.

This has gotten teacher attention. https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353083 2016-10-21 14:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353083 working on multiple-level seating - bean bags, sofa, Hokki Stools, etc.  https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353084 2016-10-21 14:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353084 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353088 Bins of supplies - markers, scissors, paper, foam, stickers - on empty shelves in the art/700s section

]]> 2016-10-21 14:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353088 I have stocked my windows with legos, k'nex, and basic maker stuff.  My more fragile maker supplies stay in my office where students can access them for maker club. https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353418 2016-10-21 14:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353418 Refere https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353529 My reference area has been weeded and parted out to the teachers who will use it in their rooms. It was not getting any use in the media center. Reference is now becoming DIY books/supplies for a creation space. ]]> 2016-10-21 14:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353529 Kids don't need expensive items to be creative - keep bottle tops, boxes, ribbon, buttons off discarded shirts. Budget doesn't limit creativity. kibrixius https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353582 2016-10-21 14:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132353582 Ruthlessly and heartlessly weeding https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354007 2016-10-21 14:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354007 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354210 Low unmovable shelving turned into whiteboard counter - hoping to buy stools ]]> 2016-10-21 14:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354210 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354559 We set up a calming/mindfulness station (We can't promise it is always quiet, though....)]]> 2016-10-21 14:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132354559 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132355496 Turned around a GIANT shelf that used to block off half the workroom, so now we can see and monitor kids who are working back there. That one simple change made a huge difference.]]> 2016-10-21 14:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132355496 https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132358771 I found I was doing a great job of meeting my fellow nerdy friends' needs, but once I surveyed students more of them want arts and crafts than things like OzoBots.

John Spencer & AJ Juliani]]> 2016-10-21 14:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132361599 Our school has partnered with Dr. Ted Morris from ECU to establish a school-wide innovation program. The students do focus on empathy and servant leadership as they solve real-world problems in their innovation projects. The then present to parents and faculty so get that experience, too. Maker activities then are relevant and have external value to the students.  https://padlet.com/kathy_parker/llbe7faf1a0s/wish/132362151
