@r_nd_f__ld I'm not the kind of teacher that gets wedded to Ed trends, but I find the acronym helps articulating what I do. I might wed "soft skills" in a pinch. No I find the Scitech inadequate, I passionately believe in teaching creativity as it is what will drive the future of STEM fields

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

@r_nd_f__ld I use heaps of science in my STEAM classes. We've done psychology, sound wave physics, light refraction, how our laser cutter works, conductivity etc. I love the cross-pollination of STEAM & feel students really thrive when it's done right but unfortunately it's not.

@eduLWDT Bullying was around before phones & will continue to be regardless of technology. I teach in schools where phones are a learning tool & in schools where they are banned. Students need to learn appropriate use of tech. Banning is denial of a social problem which needs addressing.

A fun little intro experience to my #STEAMclass #AugmentedReality unit.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

@levi_allison42 @MaiaBassett @eduLWDT I haven't played or had students play with garageband but my husband's the school librarian and we have our VR set up in the and have had students enjoying electronauts.

@MaiaBassett @levi_allison42 @eduLWDT Pitch altering was in audacity

My entire load is STEAM so here are a couple of things I have done. https://t.co/w1nJ1AV19L

I'm looking at a reverse Novel Engineering approach. Where my students improve their writing and character development skills by starting with designing and 3d printing their naratives main character. Does that count?

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

I have used "rosie revere engineer" and a few of their support materials, I have also used "the most magnificent thing". I love analysing these books with my mini engineers through a Building Learning Power lense. Looking at what learning habbits these characters use to succeed.

I was originally art trained and I love teaching STEAM by looking at the other STEM disciplines with a strong focus on creativity. I start units by pointing out that ppl who lead their fields & ppl who will change the world need to create new ideas therefore they need creativity

#eduLWDT Reaching out to Early childhood educators. How have you used 3d printing. I'm a STEAM coordinator in a prep to 12 environment and wondering if our littles can join the fun.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

#eduLWDT A5. We have used #tinkercad in the past. I am starting to look at how I can make better use of other software once the 3d models have been created. Eg. importing them into Augmented Reality or using the printed models to create stop motion animations.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

#eduLWDT Q4. No, but this is an awesome question because I'm about to start writing a 3d printing unit and would love the inspiration.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

#eduLWDT Q3. Kids just love the printing process. I love that they can touch and play with maths (for example a penrose triangle). It seems to fire my students imagination differently than say clay or laser cutting.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

#eduLWDT A2. We have created masks, formula one models, odd tools for around the school, a lunchbox prototype, figurines, stamps, keyrings, a Penrose triangle, a Mobius strip.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

@eduLWDT A1. 3d printers have been infuriatingly slow in their up take at our school. I normally gel well with new technology I just haven't with 3d printing. So I'm excited to check others responses and get inspired.

[Ｂｒｏｄｉｅ Ｊｏｎｅｓ @JonesSTEAMmaker]

@levi_allison42 @eduLWDT You might be interested in a project I did with my kids last year could easily be adapted to incorporate 3d printing

Planning, and playing with Augmented Reality. #STEAMclass

@JeraldJolito I'm thinking my next book will be a @SirKenRobinson audiobook. Probably "Out of Our Minds"
