Wow! @StabilityAI this is incredible. This is such a powerful tool I can't wait to share it with my students. @CoraEdTech @mrkpyp @chrisgadbury @HendrickseEDU @PangVeroni @YoungEoghan @barandyG @jack_makes

eng.mataurangamaori.tki.org.… Used this to set a context for using @LEGO_Education. The bot was Tamanuiterā (the sun) and it met Māui and slowed down (via the colour sensor). Lots of problem solving and critical thinking in failure.
Looking to go deeper with reflection. This Student tried to use Scratch to complete a what, so what, now what. She soon worked out the way she started wouldn't work, but she knew why and how she would improve it. Process over product in action. #process #reflection #edtech

Our @LEGO_Education challenge of carrying a 1kg weight 3m and stopping at the green line. So much problem solving, competition and collaboration. Thanks @mabycraft for another improvement for my Digi Tech class.#edtech #Collaboration #robotics

Hi all, looking for any mentor material for good blog posts by 10-13 year olds. Looking to introduce reflective blogging to my Digital Technology classes. I'm wanting the mentor material to be as multimodal as possible. #blog #digitech
Love the engagement and the skills that our students showed during this PBL on the brain. #agency #making #makeymakey

Here's a quick overview of what @barandyG and @jack_makes were talking about with the SOLO Taxonomy in the latest podcast. Worth a look of the work shared by @arti_choke. Thanks for the inspiration. pamhook.com/wp-content/uploa… pamhook.com/wp-content/uploa…

Love the idea of using a simple in school problem to drive a scientific investigation. Then bringing in experts to support the understanding of the issue, ideating a solution and putting it into practice. #podcast #pbl #education
Join us as our guest Jon Kelley shares how he used a real environmental and public health issue, car idling, to teach students about the scientific process. Hear how he was able to engage community experts and excite students around this challenge! anchor.fm/pblinpractice/epis…

This looks really interesting. Maybe it could be an option for Ss sharing their understanding in the PYP Exhibition.
6th gr finishing interactive board games. @makeymakey + @scratch makes randomly-generated multiple-choice Qs appear when player touches a "hot spot." Qs are based on student research on cats. @adafruit CPX and @MSMakeCode create the digital dice. Game pieces designed w @tinkercad
