EdTechDiva came over Twitter today and challenged us to show what's in our tech "bag". Here's mine-1st row-air card and case, Discovery ED USB hub and case, battery charger and case, iPod charging cord, iPod Touch with my Bose in-ear headphones and case. 2nd row- cell phone, Flip camera, Canon still camera, blood sugar monitor (for my Type 2 Diabetes) and portable speakers for my iPodT. This AND my MacBook Pro and cord I carry to and from school every day. I also carry the card reader for my camera, which I forgot to include

ReMake Education Summit by Fabrice Florin

A couple hundred makers and teachers gathered at the ReMake Education Summit, held August 3 - 5, 2016, at Studio 180 in Santa Rosa, CA. I went there with my associate Sarah Brewer, who is helping me teach our maker art classes this fall. It was a great way to connect with other educators and learn from each other.

The conference started with a few short speeches by co-host Dan Blake, Doug Dougherty and others. We then made simple objects together, such as a ReMake T-shirt made with vinyl-printed designs heat-pressed onto the cloth.

The morning keynotes were inspiring, as presenters shared their experiences as maker educators. They taught at different levels, from pre-K to higher ed, yet they all observed that activities that are hands-on, project-based, student-driven and collaborative can help students find a sense of purpose -- and give them the confidence that they can change the world.

We spent the rest of the day joining a variety of breakout sessions ranging from crowdsourcing your makerspace, to learning how to program a Raspberry Pi, control animated robots or how to assess the impact of maker education on young learners.

I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes, which combine art, tech and storytelling for young learners. I showed videos and photos of our recent Wonderbox and City of the Future courses, and how they help students develop their creative, technical and social skills in a playful way.

Many thanks to the team at ReMake and 180 Studios for organizing this fine gathering. They did a great job connecting teachers and resources. It was great way to share best practices, brainstorm new ideas, and start new collaborations. Well worth the trip!

Perfect Seats! by vbecker

Went to see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater this evening. They performed Mary Lou's Mass, The Hunt, Cry & Revelations. I love Revelations, it is one of my favorite ballets. But, The Hunt (which I had never seen) was one of the most exciting dances I have ever seen.

You can not photograph the proformance, so I took this photo with my iPhone before the performance started.

YACW - Yet Another Community or Website by David Jones

Bad idea #1 for professional development, especially for teaching.

Create yet another community or website (YACW) for your project. They never last beyond project funding..

Here are just three examples from the Australian Government.

I've been working on both concepts individually but have finally gotten to the point of combining them. Still some tweaking to do before counting this as the definitive version, but definitely one step closer to done!
