The Big Ideas
There are many opportunities to teach writing in a Maker/Steam Space. We will use the book New Realms for Writing by Michele Haiken. Available at iste.org/WritingRealms as our backdrop for examining how reading, writing, and research fit wonderfully with the creativity, critical thinking, and innovative design opportunities in Making/STEAM. This course applies to K-12 classrooms. Please purchase this book before the start of the course.
What We'll Do
We will examine the free and low budget, accessible, and more expensive projects using resources found in classrooms and Maker/Steam Spaces across Vermont schools. Some possibilities include:
· Teachers will effectively integrate traditional literacy tools and computer technology into their classrooms for enhanced teaching and learning.
· Teachers will produce working resources in their subject area to implement into their classrooms during the school year. These are resources that they can start using immediately. The course's power is that it provides participants time to discover new ideas, develop new skills, and integrate technology into their existing curriculum.
