I teach business and technology to some of the most creative, curious, and innovative students. My goal is to provide tech experiences to our students to promote 21st-century learning and skills with STEAM.
My students are very innovative and creative individuals.
Students in our district often have limited technology experience. My students will begin to discover and cultivate their creativity as they begin to apply their unique gifts and talents and allow them to become the innovators and global leaders of tomorrow with the stories they will be able to create and tell.
My Project
This semester was the start of our Maker Space, I wanted to open up my students to real world problems, innovation and of course entrepreneur thinking skills. In my first donors choose for our Maker Space, we were blessed with several donors who helped to start our Maker Space with Makey Makey controllers and Worx Zip Tools. My students have really taken their learning to the next level with the start of our Maker Space, but now we are preparing for the new school year and must go to the next level in our Maker Space. My students need a set of PBL Guide books that will allow them to take their learning and make connections to my classes and other classes and bring their programming and innovation skills to the next level using Micro:bit Controllers that are sister systems to our Makey Makey set.
We are also hoping to partner with our library to truly transform our entire classroom into a full Blended Learning Space that will not only teacher students new learning skills and PBL, but also start preparing them for future careers in Engineering, Mathematics and Financial Literacy.
