A big thanks to our hosts for another great discussion this week! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@randi_b311 A10: That their are endless ways to use coding in the classroom and I am looking forward to coming up with a plan for the project this week! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@kerri_pangburn A9: I could totally see myself using chibitronics with my students to make models and diagrams more creative and fun! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@jenndoyle10 A8: I would say chibitronics! I feel like it was a bit simpler to understand and would be good to start off with with the students who are just starting to learn about circuitry. #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@randi_b311 A7: I would love to learn more about coding itself! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@kerri_pangburn A6: I honestly did not know much about either! I feel like I have learned so much and am now able to understand how circuits work and am able to tell what is wrong if something doesn’t light up lol #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@jenndoyle10 If I were to do something related to the nervous system I could connect it to what happens in our bodies when messages are sent or talk about what happens if something is not connected correctly. #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@randi_b311 Yes definitely! I teach 9th grade bio and representing the nervous system in some way would be a cool project! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@kerri_pangburn Since I haven’t started it yet, I would say one struggle is coming up with an idea and plan to work with! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@jenndoyle10 The creativity I will be able to put into it #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@randi_b311 A1: I feel like there are so many things I could do, it’s so hard to pick one. #wemake19

[Casey Targovnik @caseytargov]

Thank you everyone for participating!! Have a great week!! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@caseytargov A10: I feel like you could use whatever you have available to you! Things like bottles, paper, scissors, cardboard, etc could be materials that can be used to create #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@Mr_Seibert7 A9: To make students understand that we are all bringing so much to the table and we can all learn from the different ideas and creativity from each other #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@Mr_Seibert7 A8: Not being afraid of expressing oneself and thinking outside the box #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@Mr_Seibert7 A7: 100% yes!! Teachers can integrate art in all classes! From math to science to languages, and everything in between! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@caseytargov A6: I feel like you can use it in all content areas!! #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@caseytargov A5: One strategy could be showing work or telling stories that inspire new ways of thinking or seeing something in a different way. #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

@caseytargov A4: I think it is important that we motivate and support student self expression and creativity. It’s important to also sometimes not give guidelines and let kids use their imagination to create. #wemake19

[Johanna Weidenhamer @msweidenhamer]

A3: I really liked this one as I was scrolling through the different artwork of the burning man festival! #wemake19
