10 Building iSpaces Student Story #2 ……Susu

11 This learning works:

12 Fostering Innovation: Student Story #3 ……one team investigated how to prevent desertification in Mali. To test their proposed solutions, the boys built a model using trees and sand. A hair dryer provided wind resistance. They conducted three trials to determine which solution might work best to solve the problem: a fence (with gaps), a line of trees, or a solid wall.

13 InfoMaker Badge Series The focus of this badge series is: “learner as innovative problem solver … ‘Design’ is viewed as a cyclical process, during which the learner is immersed in “design thinking:” defines a problem or a challenge; seeks information to inform a design solution (previous research and needs analysis); proposes a potential solution; communicates outcomes, including reflections/ recommendations on how to improve or refine the design for another iteration of design cycle.

14 Earn a badge!

15 How to earn the Badge Explorer.. Create a digital badge for a new or existing learning experience. Include: 1) Develop 3 learning targets or outcomes 2) Design 3-5 learning tasks. What will badge earners "do"? ( be creative!) 3) Align criteria with 2+ standards (e.CCSS, NET-S or NGSS); 4) Design & create a badge 5) Send details & url to aelkordy@nl.edu for review with Badge in Subject line 6) Claim *your* badge when notified by email.
