5 Myths that Most Teachers Believe to Be True About Makerspace

OTT: 153: 5 Myths that Most Teachers Believe to Be True About MakerspaceLately, I've been hearing a lot about ideas, or myths if you will, around Makerspace. You know the ones where teachers say that Makerspace is just for play, or where the materials or loose parts are too expensive, or even worse Makerspace takes up too much time and is too messy.And while most educators who believe in teaching outside of the box push through these myths, there are often times that we end up believing myths about something, and it stops us right in our tracks.Today we talk all about how to debunk those myths and how to replace them with some truths. So that you can try new and exciting things inside of your classroom. I hope you stick around. I totally get that now is NOT the time to try new things. Survival is the goal. I get that. Teaching is hard. We are tired.But what if teaching could be fun again? What if kids were excited and behavior problems vanished? What if we started to LOVE our jobs again? Makerspace might just be THE thing that accomplishes these goals.Links Mentioned in the Show:Every Classroom Needs a Makerspace: 5 Ideas to Integrate Makerspace Into Your Classroom (Free Masterclass)Subscribe and Review: Are you subscribed to my podcast?
