The Library on the Birmingham Campus has a new student computer lab in the Ebony room. The Lab has a projector for teaching library information literacy classes and basic computer skills.
Our classrooms range in size and can accommodate various group sizes. The rooms are adaptable in terms of set-up to provide for your specific needs.

The four signs in the previous photos, and a 5th sign about printing multiple pages, have been combined into two 11x17 sheets to be posted at each printer. I know it looks like a lot of visual clutter, all those different boxes everywhere. I was trying to make "bite-sized" chunks of info. My theory is that while students are standing there waiting for their pages to come out of the printer, they might read a couple little boxes of tips. Eventually they will read all the tips, and hopefully remember some of them!

Students in Investigating Seattle Communities, an Early Fall Start class at the University of Washington, work on group projects in the computer lab of Mary Gates Hall on the UW campus in Seattle, WA on Thursday, September 7th, 2011.
February 01 - Today, we had a project at the library, classroom study, and a computer lab.
This image is in a set called "My Daily Photo Stream". Whereas the focus of my eJournal and images blog is on text, I want to create an emphasis on photos here. I'll shoot and add an image each day. Doing so will remind me to constantly carry my camera and it'll be a more direct record of current, personal experiences.
This wall is a bank of cabinets above the computers. This year I am using these to display student work. Currently shown are K-5th self-portraits created in Drawing from Children (K & 1), Kidpix (2nd & 3rd) & Paint (4th & 5th)
It was amazing how helpful the kids were. Most issues they had were solved by one of their classmates before I even had a chance to help! :)

We all had a great time in our first Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. I taught this course with co-instructor Donald Day at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 16, 2016.
A diverse group of ten students joined the class, including artists, technologists and people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents. My partner Geo Monley and our friend Howard Rheingold also helped mentor the students during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, with an introduction to the popular Arduino processor, which is used by millions of hobbyists and makers around the world. We then showed people how to make lights blink and play sounds with their Arduinos, alternating between short presentations and hands-on experimentation.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this first class went so well and look forward to our next two classes.

I was talking to Gates yesterday. He just recently finished his 365 project. (definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen his work already.) We were talking about how people in the 365 group each have different approaches to the project. He mentioned that some people take shots each day that represent their daily activities. I sometimes refer to this as a visual blog. Then he told me about this lady in the group that is a fire eater. He said she had some great shots of her day to day life. (by the way Gates, don't forget to send me the link to her page.) After this conversation, I realized that I have very few images in my 365 set like this, other than the shots from my vacation this summer,
So I have decided that for the next few days I am going to make my daily self-portrait a glimpse into my life on that day.
Today I was putting in two new circuits in what was the old teachers' lounge for a small school on the west side. They're turning it into the new computer lab and science room. I had to get the ethernet in all the outlets installed before we paint. That's my conduit bender in the foreground.
Gates, this one's for you!!
Our third Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on Thursdays, from June 16 to 30, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with an enthusiastic group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by giving students an overview of how circuits work. We then learned how to use a multimeter, how to solder electronics, and how to control rainbow-colored NeoPixel lights.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

Our fall Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers is off to a great start. I taught this evening course with my associates Donald Day and Edward Janne on September 14, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We welcomed a wonderful group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a high school student. We started by giving our students an overview of the popular Arduino board. We then learned how to light up an LED, add a button to turn it on and off, and play a sound with a piezzo buzzer.
Students accomplished all these steps successfully, and seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this course is going so well and we look forward to teaching next week’s class.
