Schools around the country are designing maker spaces to spark creativity. Students learn best when they are able to create and tinker and make. But how do you even begin when there are so many terms floating around? This book provides a fun, practical, and approachable framework for any teacher curious about getting started with maker spaces. I've never had so much fun reading a professional book, ever. Somehow each chapter is equal parts hilarious, gleeful, inspiring and practical. I would recommend to this every educator I know and even parents and students. This is a book you can come back to again and again to laugh learn and make each time in a new way. - Jennie Magiera, Educator and Author of Courageous Edventures Your Starter Guide To Makerspaces makes any Hufflepuff feel like they can tackle the maker movement with the brains of a Ravenclaw, confidence of a Gryffindor, and cleverness of a Slytherin.

Classroom in the Cloud: Innovative Ideas for Higher Level Learning

The poster board is one of the staples of many classrooms that have students create projects. However, there is so much more to project-based learning than a simple piece of poster board. Project-based learning comes in many different shapes and sizes that can be used to truly allow students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of curriculum in a way that a standardized test never could. This book is filled with example lessons given to students and exemplars that show what is possible if students are given a voice and a choice. If you are an English Language Arts teacher and are looking to explore different types of assessment, take some time and investigate Beyond the Poster Board.
