Students are Engineers of their own Learning: MaKey MaKey + Scratch

Added by for Make Makey Makey Circuits

The Maker Movement is making headway in education. Long gone are the days where the teacher prescribes a certain formula and the students turn out a rote product.

By checking out this make, you will be going to a blog post of mine that takes you through 4 lesson plans that will help you effectively introduce Scratch to your class and will show you how to create a simple Scratch game. My final product is to play Scratch with a MaKey MaKey kit, but that is not imperative to the final product.

Creating apps as study tools

Added by for Make Making Apps in the Classroom

Using MIT App Inventor 2 to create applications (apps) with students to use as interactive study tools.

To have students find value in their work through the use of brainstorming, collaboration with peers, and technology. An essential task in this lesson is to provoke creativity, to allow the students to realize the methods that which they study may not always fulfill their capacity of learning. Students learn by engagement and to problem solve. Students will create applications (apps) specifically for studying in a content area. This will allow them to research, design, create, and use the app to study from as it is in the subject area they are learning.

Interactive Fairy Tales Using Scratch

Added by for Make Create interactives with Scratch

This is a whole set of instructions and examples of student work using Scratch to create an interactive ethical story, a story that teaches a lesson, or at least makes you understand how hard it is to make a good choice and have you feel that the right choice is always best.

This was created by Mr. Shantanu and his students.
