#STEMTTC15

More conferences mean no more books to review just yet. Maybe I need to revise the title of this blog a bit - add "Book Nerd Techie Adventures" - hmm, not quite the same ring to it as "Book Nerd Adventures". Well, maybe my readers (or lack thereof) will tolerate books AND tech. In schools, librarians and technology specialists can have commonalities - many libraries often are also running a maker space or doing technology integration in some form or another. Collaboration between library and technology is a topic for another post, so I'll leave it at that for now.

This week I am at the STEM Think Tank and Conference in Nashville, TN. Below is the presentation I shared as part of a workshop on Design Thinking and School Maker Spaces. I also facilitated a think tank discussion on Creation Tools, Maker Spaces, and Design Thinking in K-12 Schools. It was interesting to connect with other educators interested in maker spaces and implementing design thinking in the classroom.

After this week, I am hoping to get more reading done - finishing Smart Girls in the 21st Century, but also reading some books for fun!
