Creative Confidence and Maker education
We have discussed that everyone is creative in their own way and creative confidence can be boosted by keeping trying without being judged. MakerSpace is a great way to cultivate student's creativity. Maker Education is representing at least two ISTE standards:
Creative Communicator: Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Innovative Designer: Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
Let's look at some example of what students do in a MakerSpace in this video.
You have read Unconventional wisdom about the maker movement (Pages 6-10) about what is and what is not maker education. Now we'll do a Kahoot to check your understanding of the reading.
