(Paul Oh) What do programmable books, multimedia poetry and DIY clubs have in common? They're all examples of ways that a growing number of educators -- in school and out, at libraries, museums and other cultural institutions, at home and at community gatherings -- are engaging in making things and leveraging the learning associated with that very human impulse to create.

This summer, the National Writing Project, the place where I work, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, is leading an effort called Educator Innovator. It's an initiative in which a constellation of organizations (including Edutopia) are providing dozens of opportunities for educators to do things like joining webinars on innovative practice, or building a game register for a MOOC focused on making and learning.
