Introduce yourself when you begin speaking

Avoid talking over others by:
  • Using reactions to give a quick thumbs up to an answer 
  • Using the chat box to share responses and give the speaker quick cues:

@TexasTheresa]]> 2021-02-20 17:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/MakerRoom8/wish/1221738662 The curriculum itself is a challenge https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/MakerRoom8/wish/1221741176 You really learn math when you apply it (like in a makerspace or with makerthinking), but you can't control which math standards might be met in that process. It's more effective, the learning is deeper, when they construct their learning. How do you make sure you "check all the boxes" that are required?

Then the breakout room closed so I sent her this message: Catherine, does Belgium have any groups for adults that have a common work experience (like our unions in the United States) or groups for retired people? In Australia they have “Mens’ Shed.” https://mensshed.org/ Those kinds of organizations may be a good place to reach out for mentors who know how to use the equipment and could help your library patrons.]]> 2021-02-20 17:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/DPGlobal/MakerRoom8/wish/1221789209
