TechSavvyGirls: Day 91 - The Journey to Understanding Ohms, Voltage, and Amps
http://techsavvygirls.blogspot.com/2015/04/day-91-journey-to-understanding-ohms.html
A commitment to spend 2015 giving TechSavvy Girls some daily attention. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Day 91 - The Journey to Understanding Ohms, Voltage, and Amps. What was different about my power source this time that caused such a reaction? Why had there been no sparks flying on previous projects where threads had accidentally touched? Might some of my projects create fire hazards? Was it environment due to gender and culture that contributed to my experience gaps in all things science. Whatever it w...

TechSavvyGirls: Day 92 Ohms, Voltage, and Amps in Maker projects
http://techsavvygirls.blogspot.com/2015/04/day-92-ohms-voltage-and-amps-in-maker.html
A commitment to spend 2015 giving TechSavvy Girls some daily attention. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Day 92 Ohms, Voltage, and Amps in Maker projects. Yesterday I started to share that my mental model around volts, amps, and ohms was finally emerging to a point where I felt that the fog had lifted. While that post was a reflection of the learning process by which this happened, today I thought I’d do a quick explanation of that mental model using the explanation provided in this Sparkfun tutorial. Let’s...

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Celebrating Learning With Collaborative Video Making. For several years now I've been designing intensive summer institutes that model instructional strategies and give educators a chance to learn and practice new tech skills and create projects that will use those new skills to support teaching and learning in the upcoming school year. After watching the video K-12 Vision of Today's Students,. As I passed out colored markers and construction paper, I invited each educator to be...

Learning With Lucie: Next Gen Can be SEW Fun at VSTA Conference
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015/05/next-gen-can-be-sew-fun-at-vsta.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Next Gen Can be SEW Fun at VSTA Conference. The best part of the workshop was how much we learned about the PROCESS of learning through creating models by actually CREATING our own science models to showcase during the workshop. That process validated my 'theory' that maker skills and tools can support the process of learning in science. I definitely went through each phase of the creativity cycle from IMAGINE to PUBLISH as I created my Food Web Model. But as I started to CREATE an...

This book has been one of my best friends of late, though I have not limited myself to etextiles. Okay, the truth is that I have more projects started than a normal person would attempt.

Learning With Lucie: June 2015
http://learningwithlucie.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 07, 2015. This week I had the benefit of attending a two day workshop lead by a master facilitator, Liz Lerman,. Where we learned about and practiced using her Critical Response Process. I'm not sure I would have picked those words to describe what I do - and not sure its my mission, but I do see this theme in the types of technology I'm attracted to and how I create and make with technology in ways that does 'humanize technology.". Feels pretty human to me! With my Tech Savvy Girls. Project...

When I hung up my art teaching beret and returned to school librarian, I inherited a collection that hadn't been weeded in 20-30 years. It was time for a haul-out. I started folding some book pages, and thinking about the discarded books as sculptural objects. I laser cut some letters I want to add to the books to make a read. The book garden id...
