This class brought out my inner “maker.” Now, I’m inspired to bring out the maker in all of my students by allowing them to explore, play, and create! I hope I can make my classroom redesign a reality and provide my students with a space dedicated to making. I think it will be powerful for students to have access to a space where they have the freedom to explore their ideas. Rather than learning coming from me, students can take control of the space while I act as a facilitator. Our school implements “Flexible Fridays”, which allows teachers and students to explore new teaching practices. I think this will be a great time for students to use and explore Maker Education.
To summarize my learning in CEP 811, I created a video using Powtoon. I summarized some of my biggest takeaways from our assignments and reflected on my learning. I also included some ideas from CEP 811 that I can take with me to my classroom in the fall. I hope this video gives you a glimpse of my learning over the last seven weeks.
