A perfect example of all 5 letters of #STEAM working together! PLUS, value added use of locally-sourced repurposed materials whenever possible. Incredible work, @dinorahmschulte ! #livingfuture #3dprinting #sustainabledesign https://t.co/kuQ7SqHHF4

Love this concise video about the process of #landscapedesign and #placemaking based on #permaculture. Perfect intro for steps to create a #LivingSchoolyard.

Don't hide storm runoff underground! Highlight the path of stormwater while keeping school paths accessible to everyone! Grates from Iron Age Designs can tackle that. #ADAatschool #stormwatermanagement #livingschoolyard #daylighting #schoolyard #playscapes https://t.co/ndf4eukJpN

Check out these beautiful cement pavers- they blend permeability with elegant form AND they're strong! #stormwatermanagement #schoolsneedthese #livingschoolyard #patiopavers #permeablepaving https://t.co/O0cxy867rz

Well I'm going to go ahead and need this book:

Thanks to @Flocabulary and the hook on their #ComputerProgramming rap for framing the life skill of #DesignThinking. I just broke that down here: Coding is a Design Thinking Process, and THAT is a broadly applicable life skill (3-min. podcast)

We're introducing the @Lifeistech_USA program called @Disney CodeIllusion to our Ss! 4th-grade dove in today. They found it challenging but very motivating- there was a constant collaborative buzz in class! Favorite quote overheard so far: "This is LEGIT!"

[Annette Slone @slonean]

60% reuse of materials? Amazing feat! Reuse at that level takes so much planning, but if we ALL did that, imagine the impact!

[KendedaBuilding @KendedaBuilding]

The #KendedaBuilding reused building materials on a scale that was impressive. But this project shows what is truly possible. Rather than demolishing the existing tower completely, @3XN_GXN reused 60% of the materials into the new building. https://t.co/L0TkHtKbXM

[PBLWorks @PBLWorks]

This is an example of a letter sent by a teacher to families to inform them about a project. It explains what PBL is, details the project, addresses assessment issues, and tells parents about how they can be involved. https://t.co/7yc32JVrUk

Really helpful blog post explaining why the scientific method isn't necessarily THE right "way" to go. This really helped break it down for me and explained the history of how we got to the tight hold on the "scientific method" in education. #NGSS #SEPs https://t.co/5aa9Qtw1CZ

Great resource for bringing school outside; wealth of support for the greening of schoolyards:

Hey! There's an initiative for what we're hoping to do in York, Maine! U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) introduced the Living Schoolyard Act! #STEAM #regenerativelandscapes #PBL #communitybased https://t.co/OfPk8yKau6

I've been saying "productive or consumptive" screen time, but I like this better: "screen time has different values." Thanks for sharing, @nadinegilkison

[Nadine Gilkison👩🏻‍💻♥️ @nadinegilkison]

Screen Time has different Values -Every word from @RCulatta is exactly how I feel about tech integration 🥰 So glad he is leading @ISTEofficial #INCTO

Really interesting discussion with Brad Lancaster. He breaks down benefits of rainwater harvesting + diffs between passive and active water storage. #STEAMforElem #raingardens #campusdesign https://t.co/VX1BplhV6o
