Maker | July 08, 2016 |
Here is our monthly "what's happening in Maker Movement in Education" reading list. Once again, there were too many great articles to choose from but I whittled it down to the best of the best for you to read.
As always, ideas and links are welcome and new theme ideas are appreciated too! Enjoy the weekend and some fun things to read about before you go off to work on your makery.
If you only have time for 1 thing, then watch the TED talk on Grit. It is what maker education is about and why it is such a big movement in education right now.
