The Inktober Challenge Quinn Rollins @jedikermit

The Inktober Challenge Quinn Rollins @jedikermit | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
 Art Teachers: This was made for y'all. Depending on where you are in your curriculum, pen-and-ink might not be the kind of exercise you'd do as a formal classroom assignment, but it could still be a great way to stretch your students. I know some artists who design a character (an alien? a pumpkin?) or pick a character to draw doing all of the #Inktober prompts. How would you have your alien doing "Swift?" "Squeak?" "Cloud?" "Mysterious?" ...or have them pick a favorite universe to draw in. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Adventure Time -- and have them still do the #Inktober prompts

 Not-Art-Teachers: First of all, you should be. I should be. Finding ways to bring art into the classroom is a great way to engage kids who aren't engaged with some of our other go-to tools. But if you're so hooked on your curriculum that the #Inktober list of prompts seems like it would be inappropriate for what you're doing, come up with a list of 31 prompts that are within your curriculum. Connect it to the Bill of Rights. States of Matter. Digestive System. I don't know. Maybe look at the #Inktober list for inspiration, and then find a side door from those prompts into your own content. If 31 days seems excessive, just do it for one week -- see what your students come up with.

STEM Challenge - Who Can Build The Tallest Cup Tower? | Maker Maven | STEM | Makerspace Resources | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

"Teamwork is a great way to have students bond with their new classmates. This STEM Challenge welcomes friendly competition as students work together in different teams to try and build the tallest cup tower in a time period of 30 minutes. This may seem super easy, but you will be amazed by the different ideas your students come up with. "

GwynethJones's curator insight, January 7, 2018 9:52 AM

This is another example of STEM really being STEAM.

 

Like, hello? Architecture Design is #STEAM, right?! -- ALSO, love the idea but I wish the blog post had more information. Like, what are the rules? Are there rules? Can kids use other objects to make it taller? Is there a RUBRIC? Shouldn't there always be a rubric?
