February - Makerspace Samples by MargeCox https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq CCPS Library Media Specialists' Samples en-us 2017-03-20 21:14:21 UTC 2024-05-25 11:31:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Bridget Bartkowiak CPE bartkb https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/161628380 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.

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. alvareva https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/161777048

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.]]> 2017-03-22 20:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/161963595 Mary Hess hessma https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/162190406 BCE
I found this while browsing YouTube. Fifth grade students will create the game. The younger students will have an opportunity to create any critter they choose to play the game. All students will be able to play the game. ]]> 2017-03-23 16:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/162190406 Jennifer Barber barberje https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/162466617 SPE
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.]]> 2017-03-24 16:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/162466617 ruize5 https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/162518323 Elena Ruiz

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.  ]]> 2017-03-30 18:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/163805870 Historical Comic Books-GGM-Erin Boyd boyder https://padlet.com/coxma/vr7zxkxhrojq/wish/164354241 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!

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!
