Ms. Petty Genius Hour Proposal - Google Dokument. Katherine von Jan: Pursue Passion: Demand Google 20% Time at School. Ever wonder why students struggle with picking a major in college?
When was the last time students were asked what they'd like to study in school and given the time to pursue their own interests? Ask a kid what they want for their birthday, and they'll tell you 10 things. Ask them what they want to learn? They don't know, because they've never been asked. They've been taught to follow the rules and jump through prescribed hoops set by authoritarians who know what's good for them. Maybe if we asked and then gave kids permission to do some of the things they'd love to do throughout their academic careers (K-12), we wouldn't be so lost and confused in college or in life.

Makerspace in the Classroom - Make: During my eight-plus years of teaching students in a makerspace-style environment, I have witnessed first-hand a surge of interest in problem-based curriculum from both our youth and their parents due to its ability to engage students and to help them retain the knowledge.
This is why the marriage between the classroom and the makerspace is so potent. It fills the gap between classroom theory and the physical world. Historically, sparse classroom budgets have been the root cause for a lack of modern equipment in the classroom. This made sense, of course, when an entry-level 3D printer could cost more then $20,000. Now, a derivative of the technology can be purchased with the proceeds of a single bake sale, or even through parent donation.
The beauty of the makerspace is its ability to not only inspire students, but to accelerate their knowledge intake through exciting and imaginative curricular application. ISTE 2015. ISTE 2015 will feature an amazing array of professional learning and collaborative networking opportunities.

Project Based Learning. Is It Project-Based Learning, Maker Education or Just Projects? Zak Malamed of StuVoice.Org mentioned in a student voice panel that when given projects by teachers to complete, it was often just another “thing” to get done, just like a paper or worksheet. I have seen lessons shared by teachers that they called Project-Based Learning, Inquiry Learning, or Maker Education, but upon close examination they appear to be another form of direct instruction with a hands-on activity thrown into the mix.
These activities had no connections and very limited relevancy to the real lives of students.
