East Ridge Elementary eLab

teach the 4Cs skills and other processes like we intentionally teach reading or math? FabLabs in school provide ONE tool for transformative change in schools for the meaningful instruction of students, and we're excited to see how we can improve learning outcomes for our Ss.

As usual, the post its under "Skills" FAR outnumber the notes under "Content". If every group of adults he's ever done this with have all agreed that skills is at LEAST as important, if not more, as content, then why is public school not making the leap to intentionally

@tonydonen doing his "post it notes" activity where this group of EDUs (FabLab Facilitators, school admins) posted one note per answer to the question "Our graduates will be prepared if they can..." and placed the responses under either "Content" or "Skills/Habits".

@PEFinnovation Is this July 11 or May 11?

@EduMagee Oooh! Did you get a grant?

It’s like Christmas in the eLab! More to come, this specialist is soooo excited!

HUGE shout out to @aoewill and @LisaGodfreyHHS for being amazing co-chairs for #edcampgigcity this year! Thank you for all your hard work!

@emilymariehurst Any chance we could get connected with them too?

Happinest Wildlife Rehabilitation is at Battle Academy sharing about helping songbirds who have been hurt or orphaned to help give context for their upcoming PBL where first graders will build nests to replace nests for local birds who have been displaced! #PBL #communitypartner

@CoachStone12 @sciteach212 Where is this conference taking place?

Thank you, @sciteach212. I’m excited to connect with this incredible group!

Had a few teachers stay after school yesterday to learn more about the capability of the @EastRidgeES eLab by creating holiday-themed projects/crafts! #MakerEd

One more day…make sure you are there!

Saw #Inventanooga pitches at Rivermont Elementary and Dalewood Middle today. Amazing ideas, presentations, and prototypes all around!

In a world full of hustle, grind, & things, I’m guilty of getting distracted. But on weeks like this, where life slows down a bit, I’m immensely grateful for people. Find a moment to reflect on the people in your life who you are grateful for… then take the time to tell them 😊

Now we get animals adapted to the desert and rainforest! #PBL #STEAM @CarterThatcher @TNAquarium

Great examples of underwater/ocean adaptations! Thankful for the hands on examples! #PBL #STEAM

Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Shelby from the @TNAquarium are @EastRidgeES in the @ERES_eLab helping our 3rd graders launch their PBL to create fictional animals & environments to which they are adapted! #PBL #STEAM @CarterThatcher

@GrantLearns Yowza! That's gonna be an interesting mashup!

Visiting Arts teachers at Ooltewah High school to check in & say thank you to arts teachers, CANNOT wait to come back here to watch the Midsummer Night’s Dream and Jersey Shore mashup!

Did you know you can export Tinkercad designs as SVGs for laser cutting ✂️? You can! Check out this blog post to learn how to design specifically for exporting SVGs and some example projects to try out! #TeachWithTinkercad tinkercad.com/blog/laser-cut…

@emilymariehurst Ha! Good to know!

Update: the answer is three. Three adults.

How many fully functional adults does it take to figure out a #sublimationprinter? I’ll let you know if it’s three or fewer.
