What are some of the tools or some technology that is available? What are you finding to be the most popular tool/activity? Where and how did you get the equipment in your makerspace? What is the size of the makerspace? Is this conducive to your activities? We take a situation such as: “Your principal comes to you and says she just saw a presentation at a conference about a makerspace. Now, she wants you to create one. Where do you start?”We also flipped the conversation and had the same scenario but that the teacher wanted to start one and was approaching the principal. Great conversation here!Here are some of the things that Elissa shared that she either wants or has in her makerspace: LEGO 3D Printer littleBits Perler beads Snowflake cutouts K'nex Q-bitz Needles/Yarn Dollar Store STEM (marshmallows and toothpicks, popsicle sticks, etc).

Episode 21 – Coding in the Classroom with Vocareum   Coding has become a very exciting and worthy tool with which to teach – mostly because it teaches incredible skills while also teaching a very valuable tool for life beyond K-12 education. Until recently, teaching coding meant special software loaded on specific computers in order for students and teachers to write, compile, and execute code to ensure programs are written correctly. Because of the special requirements, it became difficult for students to work on coding assignments outside of class as the compiler software isn't always the easiest and most user friendly install. Enter Vocareum, a “cloud lab for learning” as they are self-described on their website.     google_ad_client = "ca-pub-5795849860601775";    google_ad_slot = "2702402824";    google_ad_width = 468;    google_ad_height = 60;In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of talking with the Business Development director of Vocareum at the ISTE 2014 Atlanta conference.  We talked about the power of coding in the classroom and how their cloud lab enables teachers and students to more effectively communicate about the code that is being written. I was so excited to talk with Vishal as this solves so many problems in the world of classroom coding. I hope you find value in the conversation we had – even if Vocareum isn't for you. Classroom coding has come a long way and I look forward to sharing with others how it can be expanded with great tools such as Vocareum.

Episode 20 – Instructional Tech Talk Podcast This episode of the ITT Podcast features Steven from Doceri, an app that allows for you to utilize your iPad as a supercharged interactive whiteboard. I was able to sit down with Steven at ISTE 2014 and record this episode, so my apologies for the slight background noise – we recorded right on the Exhibition Hall floor, it was a great time! Steven talks about several of the great features of Doceri – all of which can be accompanied by videos demonstrating the features he discusses at this link. The Timeline video, one that he mentions frequently, is embedded below. Here are the highlights of Doceri:  Create lessons, presentations, and graphics and share them in many ways (PDF, still images, audio/video screencasts, or mirror to Apple TV). When connecting to Doceri Desktop, the iPad annotate over Mac/PC files and then instantly share them. Doceri can be a universal remote (in conjunction with a presentation management system) to control the AV technology in your classroom. Prepare and record presentations without the need of a desktop computer.  Here is the video about the Timeline so frequently referenced:    Important Links: Doceri.com Doceri Video Library
