Twenty percent time from Google. Based on the Google 20% time, students take 20% of their time in a class to pursue a personal interest project. Maker Movement.

Leah, today, we’re going to talk about how to use technology to make science more exciting and more effective. So, Leah, what’s your first idea for using technology to engage kids in science? Is technology a distraction? I always think of giving my students that sandbox time so that they can play a little bit with the software.

From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis Follow @coolcatteacher on Twitter Teaching in augmented reality (AR) for the past several years has been a bit of a challenge, in my opinion, as is often the case with new technologies.

This design challenge takes it a step further by recycling the technology into a robot made by students. Now.having said that.

I can remember the genuine excitement of the movement to use Free and Open Source Software in schools. Google came in with their free email services, and it turned out that no matter how compelling the philosophical and pedagogical arguments were for Open Source, it was actually the "free" aspect that carried the day.

Of all the learning trends of the past 20 years, one of the most sweeping and impactful has been the rise of the maker movement. After 15 years of inspiring millions of people to be creative and “make” something out of just about nothing, Maker Media, the company behind much of momentum, shut down due to financial shortfalls.
