So many choices in the maker space, how do I choose?
How will I know if what I make is okay?
Each person will have different needs throughout the process. I will be here to support you at each stage of the learning in the making.
We will go over the rules of the maker-space area and the tools used for this assignment. I will ask for a thumb up (I understand), thumb down (I do not understand) or thumb sideways (I somewhat understand) before we begin and re-ask during the making.
At the end of the assignment, I will ask you to use your fingers to tell me how you experienced this lesson:1 finger = too easy2 fingers =little easy3 fingers = just right4 fingers = little hard5 fingers = too hard
Students will reflect on their making process at the end of the assignment through written or verbal reflection.Students will identify and reason on their Chromebooks:https://www.polleverywhere.com/how-it-works1) What was the project about?
