"Today was a big day in my grade 4-5 STEM class: It was our first time to start the “Maker Studio” rotation. Maker Studio is a concept I developed this past summer attending Maker Faire Kansas City and the awesome “Create, Make and Learn” week-long #MakerEd #STEM summer institute in Vermont coordinated by Lucie deLaBruere (@techsavvygirl). Last year was my 17th as an educator but my first as an elementary STEM teacher. I enjoyed developing and sharing lessons about a wide variety of topics, but as a “STEM teacher” was uncomfortable with my predominant focus on direct instruction lessons. Some of my favorite units from last year focused on the science and technology of music and sound, kitchen chemistry, and collaborative projects in MinecraftEDU involving permiter/area building challenges, coordinate grid scavenger hunts, and more. Our projects and activities together in these units were engaging, fun, and standards-based, but still relied predominantly on direct instruction. The after-school “Makers Club” I facilitated provided many opportunities for student-directed learning, but didn’t change my predominant teacher-directed instruction during STEM class. My summer PD experiences at #MakerFaireKC and #CML14 were transformative. Enter “Maker Studio.”"

Evernote es una herramienta realmente potente, a la que puedes dar multitud de usos profesionales y domésticos
Buen artículo en el que nos hablan de todos los pormenores de esta excelente herramienta básica para todo buen Content Curator como es Evernote, aplicación también muy útil en la Educación, en el Marketing de Contenidos... una herramienta muy versatil al estar presente en todos los dispositivos (que se sincronizan entre si, lo que te permite poder tomar notas para luego trabajar con ellas en otro dispositivo) y sistemas operativos (Windows, OS, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone...), y con multitud de opciones a la hora de añadir a las notas de texto nuestros enlaces, fotografías, capturas de pantalla... y poder organizarlas en listas creadas por nosotros mismos.
Como ya dije en otra ocasión: ¡No sin mi Evernote! http://wp.me/p2iXnH-pp
