Sharing knowledge and expertise is part of the legacy of work done in the CLMOOC and beyond. The Make Bank is a place for both finding ideas and for giving back to the larger community. Use the Make Bank to explain something you did, or how to use a new technique or tool for making learning happen.

The five-image story concept led to a six-image memoir in the CLMOOC as we thought about to represent one’s self via six images. This connects back to the earlier work with avatars, too. In essence, you find six images that represent how you see yourself. The six images could be aspects of personality, or they could connect together to create a visual interpretation of a Six Word Memoir. Pull them together into a collage/mosaic, or maybe into a digital story. Narrate, if interested, or let the images speak to who you are.

This lesson plan will show librarians and media specialists how to use a Raspberry Pi to create a “Selfie Station” for students or patrons to snap a picture of themselves with their favorite book that will automatically upload to a blog that can be potentially connected to Apple TV or another display method in the library. Showing young people what their peers are reading helps to promote reading for pleasure.

This lesson/how-to for teachers is designed to teach sentence clauses to middle schoolers: http://joiemarinaro.wordpress.com/maker-journals-and-final-product/ It requires a little bit of pre-teaching regarding subjects and predicates, and runons and fragments, but there’s a prezi linked to the How-to. This lesson uses Little Bits to make circuits, which light up, in order to symbolize the properties of independent and dependent clauses. The lesson expressly illustrates the mobility of dependent clauses in a sentence.

Welcome to Make Cycle #6 in the Making Learning Connected collaboration! For this sixth Make Cycle, we will think about the power of images, and what it means to compose a text visually. When composing with images, we are forced to think critically in a way that focuses us on our intent in order to get a clear message across. To this end, we will focus our explorations on the concept of a 5-Image Story. According to Wesley Fryer’s “Mapping Media to the Common Core,” a 5-Image Story is a “collection of five images which tell a story of some… Read more »

Some previous knowledge of working with glass (cutting, shaping, etc.) and with fusing glass is needed to make something like this project. This bowl was made by first fusing together three layers of fusible glass into a flat sheet–including cutting the design elements and placement between layers–heating it in a kiln of approximately 1500º F, and cooled. Once the flat sheet of glass had cooled, it was placed over a form–in this case a sizable rock from my garden–which had been treated with kiln wash (which keeps the molten glass from sticking to the rock and other materials). The glass… Read more »

Using a touch interface for naturalistic sketching/water-colour painting can be complex if the application has a steep learning curve. Having just downloaded https://www.fiftythree.com/paper I have done my first sketch. I was interrupted by my 5 year-old who instantly took over and showed me the intuitiveness of the interface. Zero explanation, it is the closest I have seen to a piece of paper and a few pens, pencils, water-colour box. Amazing!

This process takes a digital image and converts it into audio. It sounds odd and it is. But what would a picture sound like? Using a freeware for PC called AudioPaint (http://www.nicolasfournel.com/audiopaint.htm) that does just that. You import an image, tinker with settings along a spectrum of light and sound, and export the audio interpretation of your image.
