Reading Teacher, Instructional Technology Specialist, MakerSpace Coach. I have been an educator for 32 years total, most at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans in a variety of positions, settling into small group and support work for the last 20+ years. Integrating creative technology in meaningful ways is my jam!

Session description

I will share a cohesive Lower School cardboard curriculum for a stand-alone MakerSpace Lab, complete with digital process journals for a blended approach as students work through the engineering design process. Choice, voice, and video are used to develop communication skills as students show and tell about their work.

Purpose & objective

Participants will learn how to implement a cohesive MakerSpace cardboard curriculum as a stand-alone lab or within a classroom, utilizing technology to have students plan and response to the challenge in a digital journal with multimedia options. This can be done in Seesaw, Book Creator, Keynote, Pages, Adobe Express, or any app with multimedia journal building capabilities.
