Date: February 17, 2018 TechTerra Education is excited to announce that their CEO/Founder, Susan Wells, just published her first book - Foundations of Makerspaces - with Amazon. Wells designed her first Makerspace in 2009 and has been imagining, designing and creating Makerspaces and innovative learning spaces for over a decade. Her book takes her experience working with educators across the globe and uses that experience to create a guidebook on imagining, designing and deploying Makerspaces. Wells saw that educators around the world want something concrete in their hands to help them design and create a space that will work in their learning environments. Her book is a practical guide for districts and schools. Wells’ goal with her book, as with her company, from the pedagogy of Makerspaces to the vocabulary of STEM to the guiding steps for meeting the goals and standards for 21st Century learning, is STEM access for all.

I loved reading the book "Foundations of Maker Spaces". Susan's model of Ready, Fire, Aim gave me permission to start now even though I don't have all the specifics of maker spaces and stem activities figured out. She covers all the components from foundation to environment, tools, and procedures. What I liked best was her message that student learning is the most important consideration and that technology is just one of the tools. Thanks and keep writing. Leave a Reply. |
