So what does this REALLY look like in

action?

Substitution

• No functional change in teaching or learning

• Bloom's Level - remembering

• TECH - traditional

• BigBrainz • Kahoot! • Online Worksheets • Fillable forms • Quizzing

Augmentation

• Substitute with functional change

• Blooms - Applying and Understanding

• TECH - enhanced learning experience for students

• Osmo • Chirp • Popplet • Timeline • Kahoot! • Today's Meet

Modification

• Technology allows for significant task redesign

• Blooms - Evaluate, Modify, Apply

• TECH - Choice

• LittleBits • Chatterpix • QR Codes • Camtasia • Blogging

Makerspace Activity

Redefinition

• Tech allows for the creation of new tasks previously inconceivable

• Blooms - evaluating, creating

• TECH - handoff

• Explain Everything • Thinglink • Makey Makey • Lego WeDo • BeeBots • Ozobot • 3D Printing • 3D Pens • Coding • Lego Wall • Nearpod

Makerspace Activities

What is a ?

• A place for students to think critically, problem solve and collaborate.

• Provides creative time, time to explore questions, fail and retry, bounce ideas off of one another and build something together

Engineering Design Process

• Ask • Define the problem • What do you already know

• Imagine • brainstorm some possible solutions • research to find out more

• Plan • draw a possible solution • list the steps involved

Engineering Design Process

• Create • Follow your plan and create your solution • Collaborate with your teams • Test your design and implement your solution

• Improve • Retest your design and re-design if necessary • Learn from your mistakes

• Present/Reflect • Share your design with the whole group • Discuss failures and successes

Lego WeDo

Lego WeDo Summer Camp

Lego WeDo in K-2 STEAM Lab

Process: * 45 minutes each session/day

• Session 1 - Build from directions and preview programming

• Session 2 - Robots are already built and students focus on programming

• Session 3 - Students build AND program same robot from Session 1

• Session 4 - Students may choose a different build and program

STEAM Lab

• K-2 • Inspiring Curiosity Video • More structured Makerspace • Follows the science

curriculum and what classes are doing

• Classes visit for 45 minutes each day for 4 consecutive days
