some reflection on the discussion with Roberta about Learning through Making (tinyurl.com/w7xrpxuw):
Key in makerspaces is the creation of artifacts through a creative process in a social arena (so here we're talking about working with others, collaborating with others) 1/9

But at the same time, these artifacts are not merely “products” of an assignment but come from personal everyday experience of the maker. In order for the maker to create these artifacts, the maker has to learn, to communicate and to share. 2/9
This back and forth between externalizing and internalizing knowledge over constructive and creative activities are fundamental mechanics for learning through making. 3/9
Let's talk about #PaperCircuits and how my students actually go about making them. In total, we spent twelve days of class time on this project, (two intro days of lessons and ten days of project time), but there are easy ways to scale it back and make less of a project of it.
My goals for this #projectbasedlearning are as follows:
* Learn how electricity moves through a circuit
* Learn how loose connections & short circuits can cause circuitry to fail
* Learn to solder
* Practice Prototyping
* Practice troubleshooting problems
* Meld art & science

One of the downsides to #projectbasedlearning is that it's a lot of time for a relatively small amount of content covered. That's only true if you discount the other skills students learn along the way: designing, prototyping, and troubleshooting are all valuable skills!
