I asked our SXSWedu panel charged with sharing details about their Schools’ Vortex: Innovative Library Makerspaces. Much like that student’s creation, Makerspaces are sparking a transformation in the nuclei of a school—the library. The learning didn’t stop once the pumpkin made it inside the library. Don’t wait for funding.

What are the common mistakes that educators make when they’re trying to use FlipSnack? Mandy: You know, it’s such an easy tool to use that I haven’t seen … I haven’t had an educator come back to me and say,“Ah I hated FlipSnack. You know, I did have an educator say to me once I like to use it for student portfolios.

You’re in the library! As the great-granddaughter of a librarian, I was brought up to know that the quiet of the library was sacred space. After a year of ordering materials with limited library money, they realized that students were more likely to participate in crafty upcycling than what they had spent the funds on anyway.

Since creating our school’s makerspace in November 2013, I’ve seen a small revolution start to grow within our elementary school and also across our district. Our makerspace is a small room off of our library that was once an office and storage space. Getting Started. MakerFaire.

Despite claims made by some, the maker movement is no fad -- it's just a new name for something lots of people have been doing for a long time. I had my first "maker moment" at 4 years old. With a generous donation from the PTA, lots of hustle on DonorsChoose.org , and some dumpster diving, our Maker Lab was born!

In many cases elementary schools have even taken fun out of school for kids by cutting recess. When I hired Laura Fleming in 2013 to take over the traditional library she was tasked with giving it a reboot and was given complete autonomy to do so. There is a great deal of content out there about maker education.

She’s helped the students find books in the library, and she has also helped them learn some ways to navigate ways to share their knowledge through Google Slides or Wixie. You can ask experts. From there, students have been using time in class, and we’ve also partnered up with our media specialist. It’s really happening organically.

At the time, I was the homeless education program manager for Paducah Independent Schools District in Paducah, Kentucky. Our first step was to build an ecosystem that included higher education partners and professional advisors. We like to think of it as a souped-up public library with tech tools instead of books.
