ISKME's Teachers as Makers 2011 Professional Development Summer Academy is an opportunity for teachers to create, share, collaborate and be inspired by experiencing DIY Projects that they can easily adapt to their teaching.
Teachers as Makers Academy Flyer: File:MakeFlyerHFM.pdf
A two day professional development teacher training opportunity for the Maker inside each of us. We will explore OER—freely remixable curriculum—and Maker-Teacher collaborations to facilitate innovation in the classroom. The Makers’ projects are points of inspiration for Teachers while they engage in design-thinking activities to create, remix, and share OER with online collaborative tools.
