Making holds a number of opportunities and challenges for a teacher. Making, especially to educators and administrators unfamiliar with it, can seem to lack the academic rigor needed for a full-fledged place in an educational ecosystem. However, project-based learning has already created a framework for Making in the classroom. Let’s see how Making could work when placed inside a PBL curriculum unit.
In this webinar, educators will:
- Explore “Making” and the variety of project-based learning opportunities it offers.
- Examine a process to align project-based learning models to standards.
- Review the opportunities and changes which arise when engaging in hands-on, messy and completely exhilarating MakerEd project-based learning curriculum’s.
