Maker Promise partners share resources to support Maker Champions. Resources range from guides for implementing district-wide maker learning programs, to projects for engaging students, to the latest research on how making supports learning.
Researchers tend to study tools, activities, and learning outcomes as interacting parts of the same equation. By considering these elements together, we can keep a careful eye on how we are supporting students and enhancing learning in our classrooms.
Dive into the research and apply these lessons to your own practice: identify the learning that you hope to support, and use the tools that deepen those activities.
The Deeper Learning through Making course is designed to help educators integrate making into their classrooms to promote deeper learning for students. Maker Promise signers receive FREE access to this course.
