How might making lead to literacy? A #WSRA17 presentation

Today I facilitated a 1.5-hour session on makerspaces at the Wisconsin State Reading Association convention. The focus was on trying to answer the driving question:

How might making lead to literacy?

This was a true wondering. Although I had some suggestions and ideas, it was on the educators that attended to determine this. They are the kid and literacy experts.

Below are some pictures from the experience. Click here to access the agenda and click here to view the slides. As you can see, we had a lot of fun exploring the possibilities.

Interested in learning more? I am hosting a one-day workshop at CESA 3 on July 18. The focus will be on how to use technology to increase student independence as learners.
