My students are learners first and foremost. They want to learn about this, that, and whatever I can teach them. They adhere to my philosophy of getting the most out of education that you can while it's still free!
High school students absorb all sorts of knowledge on a daily basis.
It's my job to ensure that what they are learning is relevant and current to the real world that they will soon be out navigating on their own! Additionally, middle school students explore their curiosities on a daily basis and I want to lead them down a path where they value the educational process and actively seek out new and innovative learning experiences!
My Project
In the process of creating a Maker Space I started acquiring new technologies such as computers and 3D printers. A recent discussion with some of my youngest students though reminded me that kids want to be kids, and that most kids like toys. We discussed the various toys that have been used over time to express creativity while designing and building and they encouraged me to try to gather the items chose for this project. As with anything retro, there is obviously a higher price tag than once was, however, the students have spoken and I am just doing my best to transform their learning experiences!
