Maker | April 22, 2016 |
The Maker Movement is taking education by storm. So, this week I decided to highlight making in education with some articles that every non-educator should read. Take a look at these articles and you'll see why students are not just being asked to memorize the book, but instead, to design and make a new one.
As always, let me know if you find some good articles too.

Where's the research and does it support these new initiatives?

Some, like MIT, are using portfolios to get a better feel of what students can do. Portfolios are no longer just for Art and Engineers need to be able to tell a good story and get others excited about their work too. If nothing else, click on the link to see the "Krebs Cycle of Creativity" graphic - nicely done. | | Tina Aspiala - YouTube This video is just plain cool. After backing 400+ Kickstarter projects Tina broke down all the things that could be made into components: Inputs, Outputs, Power, Connection and made a deck of cards. Watch the video and if you want the cards, you can find them here. http://know-cards.myshopify.com/ | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
