Learning With Lucie: Next Gen Can be SEW Fun at VSTA Conference
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015/05/next-gen-can-be-sew-fun-at-vsta.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Next Gen Can be SEW Fun at VSTA Conference. The best part of the workshop was how much we learned about the PROCESS of learning through creating models by actually CREATING our own science models to showcase during the workshop. That process validated my 'theory' that maker skills and tools can support the process of learning in science. I definitely went through each phase of the creativity cycle from IMAGINE to PUBLISH as I created my Food Web Model. But as I started to CREATE an...

Learning With Lucie: October 2014
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. Share it JUST in TIME. A portal, a class website, or a learning management website are a great way to organize resources for your students, but every good teacher "monitors and adjust" lessons quickly and sometimes updating your website or LMS on the fly is not the most fastest way to lead an audience to a web resource. This is when URL shorteners and QR codes can contribute to AGILE learning. For example the SHORT URL for this we page is http:/ goo.gl/lxjlH8. For many other QR ...

http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015/04/out-of-this-world-learning-at-center.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Out of this world learning at Center for Technology in Essex. Last week, students at the Center for Technology at Essex. High Altitude Balloon Flight April 15th 2015. This type of project-based learning is the type of learning that students remember. It’s not knowledge that’s easily forgotten after the test. It’s real world learning and problem-solving that inspires students to obtain deeper knowledge and inquiry than any text-book could. Listen to Jennifer describe the design ...

We hooked up the Saturn car dolly to the bus, started her up and plugged in Savannah Georgia to the GPS which let us know we'd be there in 1111 miles. Even though the service area ...

Learning With Lucie: An Inquiry in Creating Models with Soft Circuits ~ Step 1
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015/04/an-inquiry-in-creating-models-with-soft.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. An Inquiry in Creating Models with Soft Circuits Step 1. Today I worked on creating a model demonstrating my understanding of a food web using eTextile materials. This is part of a professional inquiry I'm involved with. I have one more problem to solve - "What should I use for an power source that will power my model, which consists of 4 LED's connected in serial? Each LED is used to symbolize "life" at each level of the food web. I chose to use a serial circuit. The problem I ha...

Thursday, May 28, 2015. Using TinkerCad with Students Under 13. Navigating a 3D world can seem pretty overwhelming to someone like me who has not spent as much time as today's students leveling up in 3D gaming environments. However, today's students are much more comfortable finding their way around in a 3D world, so why not let them create in 3D with one of the most user friendly digital tools for 3D modeling TINKERCAD.

Learning With Lucie: June 2015
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 07, 2015. This week I had the benefit of attending a two day workshop lead by a master facilitator, Liz Lerman,. Where we learned about and practiced using her Critical Response Process. I'm not sure I would have picked those words to describe what I do - and not sure its my mission, but I do see this theme in the types of technology I'm attracted to and how I create and make with technology in ways that does 'humanize technology.". Feels pretty human to me! With my Tech Savvy Girls. Project...

Sunday, December 14, 2014. Learning to Code with eTextiles. This is Part 2 of a series I'm working on learning to code with eTextiles. To learn WHY I think that eTextiles can provide an onramp for learning to code check out Part 1 (Preparing to Code using eTextiles). So you're ready to learn to code your eTextile projects. The process of learning to code will take you down a circular learning path that will have you cycling from a state of "fuzzy understanding" to a state of "clarity and aha's". So for n...
