Maker space and more. <span style="background-color: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "segoe" , "segoe ui emoji" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><b>Twelve Mile Coulee Learning Commons - Middle School</b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">
Our Maker Station cabinet is complete! Students remove the self-contained maker
bins, work on a project, challenge or activity and return the bin to the
cabinet. They are loving it! The bins I created include: </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- paper crafts (airplanes, boats, weaving, origami);</span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- STEM building challenges (catapults,
pulleys, towers, cardboard projects -- with straws, paper rolls, craft sticks,
clothespins, recycled K-cups, etc.);</span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- zentangle/colouring sheets; </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- textile crafts (crochet, knitting,
friendship string and patterns; </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- Lego (Shop Class is putting castors on an
IKEA square table that will also have a Lego board glued to the surface); </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- stop-motion supplies, including small white
boards and clay; </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- card play (houses, games, magic tricks)</span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">- Adopt-a-Shelf promotional material bin
(posters, bookmarks). We followed Nose Creek's example and are encouraging
students to "adopt" an LC shelves on one of our pyramids where they
display their favourite LC titles. Students sign up for one week beginning next
week. We have ALL MONTHS filled with adoptions! </span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: #EDEFF2;">The Maker Station bins contain the supplies
and instructions and/or books. I got the majority of the ideas from
Pinterest! </span></span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="background: #edeff2; color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Using our school colours, I created signage
to draw attention to the station.</span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: #EDEFF2;">We also created an eLibrary station on the LC
counter where students can check on our inventory. This makes them even more
aware of the Dewey system and where titles are in the LC. It is very well used,
which frees up a lot of my time searching for titles and having a dedicated
Chromebook for these searches frees up the iMac stations for other work.</span></span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: #EDEFF2;">I purchased magazine racks from Grand &
Toy and using 3-M hooks, attached them to our pyramid towers to utilize the
towers better and ensure floor space isn't used for periodical racks. I've
organized them by subject. I also have a rack for Readers, which are organized
by level.</span></span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: #EDEFF2;">Book of the Week: I am so surprised how well
this initiative has taken off! I actually overheard a couple of students
talking about it, saying, "I wonder what the book of the week is this
week?", and they actually check them out! Most of the books I select are
checked out by Tuesday. The poster has a brief description of the book, a quote
from me as to why I enjoyed it and either a list of other titles by the other
or a QR code directing students to a movie trailer or author website. (And,
yes, I actually read the book!)</span></span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #343a41; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: #EDEFF2;">Next on our agenda: Listening stations, a
used-book swap and beginner, intermediate and advanced instructional sessions
on Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator and maybe InDesign), which I am facilitating.
(Teachers can sign up a max of five students per class for a one-period session
during regular teaching hours at a time and the LC will be closed for
everything other than collecting print jobs during that time.)</span></span><span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s2">It started with a vision of transforming a “traditional” library to a vibrant, collaborative and engaging Learning Commons. In addition to educating both staff and students (“Yes! You can talk in here now!”), part of the journey was the physical transformation and the new furniture required to make it an open and welcoming space. It is with great pleasure that we share with you the completion of <b>Phase 1</b>. There will be more changes to come (hello!

I’ve been working in the LC for years now, and it’s easy to see the mistakes I’ve made. At one point I thought about my role through an economic lens where those who need assistance (in planning, in executing, and in teaching) would naturally seek it out. My learning has developed towards a much more fluid and organic perspective. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
As the quote above describes, the LC leader has to be empathetic and helpful. They have to be observant and aware of the professional growth and professional learning of their peers. They must have the perspective to know the holes and gaps within classrooms and throughout the building. Yet, being aware isn’t enough... They have to actively help. Like water, they have to flow towards the deepest holes and help to raise the collective whole... They have to provide help before being asked...</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>reflaluation</i></b> - that process which both evaluates and allows for reflection on an experience.</blockquote>
It implies that we find the value in, and also find ways of curating the salient artifacts of the experience. To that end I hope to record the experience of my foray into leading Grade 8 students in Design Thinking.<br />

As with most things in teaching, one workshop is often enough to inspire activation of a new way of doing things but it does not make an expertan expert make. We (as teachers) are often required to wear the mask of "expert" in the face of the students while being continually aware that we might only understand the process from a distance. It is those who are willing to risk getting it wrong in public who welcome new process into their classrooms without intense study and mentoring. The irony being that so many professional development mandates demand that a teacher indicate how they will immediately apply the expense that has been made to bring in the experts.</div>
<br />
I, as you may have read, have recently been exposed to Design Thinking. I am not a Design Thinking expert though I do find that it lends itself to my natural inclinations well and so, perhaps, I am more an expert than I realize. Having been exposed to the vernacular and handed the template it was only a matter of opportunity that would allow for immediate experimentation.<br />
<br />
Alberta's Mechanical Systems unit for Grade 8 lends itself well to the #MakerEd movement, and is rich in room for students to thinker and ideate. (not my words)<br />

The project (still and always in refinement) was installed in partnership with the Grade 8 teachers who would normally be responsible for this Unit. They, in a sense, partnered with the Learning Commons to go deeper into the mechanics of Design Thinking as they scaffolded the physics of Mechanical Systems. It would be another blog post entirely that would properly address how an entire unit was captured by Design Thinking, what I want to reflaluate here is on one element of what happened that was unexpected: rich partnerships.</div>

In design thinking methodology a student is made responsible for recording and empathizing with another student's ideas. They become active listeners and engagement experts hoping to draw out the best from the person they are listening to. That in itself could be enough but yesterday I noticed something deeper: Trust.<br /><br />Making groups is common in a classroom, and Design Thinking makes group-work better. There is something that happens in the community though that has inspired me to share; students forge trust.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Item 1:</b> Students are often asked NOT to work with their friends as they are familiar, too common, and often sources of distraction. In Design Thinking it is possible for students to gravitate to their friends. Where this would normally be something that does not expand a student's experience in this case it is actually an excellent place to start. When you become responsible for your friend's work, and you are asked to represent your friend's work to others in the group there is a loyalty there that means a student who might normally "phone-in" the work is now directly responsible for the way that their friend looks in the eyes of others. Particularly for the boys, but I suspect for all of the students, this addition of risk draws out better work from two friends than you might expect to see, and it also solidifies a relationship between two students.</div>
<br />
<b>Item 2:</b> Students might be put into a situation where they are working with someone they would not normally choose to experience learning with, much less speak to. They might be encountering this partner for the first time, and in that experience they are presented to the unfamiliar as being a responsive, engaged, active listener who will stand up and advocate on behalf of their partner who knows that they are not owed this grace given the social context of a middle-school classroom. The amount of trust that this builds between two unfamiliar people; the way that it sets up two strangers to demonstrate the capacity for reliability, loyalty, and friendship appears organically, is not contrived (as it so often is) and is allowed to happen naturally. The authenticity of the experience can bring out the best in the community (in this case the classroom) and creates yet more impetus for employing Design Thinking structure in any and all of the activities which involve collaboration in the classroom.<br />

Settling into middle school has taken a little more of my time than expected. Now that we have had more than half a year pass by, it's time to start firing up the #yyclc engines once again.<br />
<br />
We're looking for new and past contributors to share LC stories. Are you connected to a Learning Commons in Calgary and/or surrounding area? Are you willing to share a story from something that happened in your LC? We'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
If you're interested, please leave a comment on this post with some way to get in touch with you and I will contact you soon!<br />
<br />
Some of stories we hope to share from the #NCKodiaks Learning Commons over the next little while are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Community Maker night at Nose Creek School</li>
<li>3D printing in the Learning Commons</li>
<li>It take a Community to Build a Learning Commons</li>
</ul>
<div>
I look forward to hearing from some new contributors!</div>

I have learned that an important part to having a successful Learning Commons in a middle school requires student involvement. By having the students involved in the decision making process we have created an awesome place for them to learn, create, collaborate and be. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we opened Nose Creek School in 2012 ( grade 4-9) we decided that it would be a space for the students of our school. A space for them to want to be, feel comfortable in visiting and place to showcase their work. Not a space to store books, av equipment or teacher resources and definitely not a quiet space. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We wanted their input. We promoted this to them through announcements and the teachers asked for their input during their T.A. (teacher advisory classes). This created a lot excitement and suddenly we had long lists of books, games, and furniture that was recommend by the students. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our learning Commons has many student L.C. Assistants from every grade . They help with book fairs, shelving books, closing blinds, taking care of the technology and tidying. They are key to making our Learning Commons successful. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the future we plan to establish a Student Learning Commons team and maker stations operated and lead by students for students. The Student Learning Commons team will help us come up with ideas on how to make this an even better space. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Going into our fourth year, our Learning Commons is still very busy. Students are there all day and even after school we have a hard time getting them to leave. It is truly “their” space. </div>
<div>
The Learning Commons always has different things to see and do. Including new books, puzzles, art work (created by the students), board games and of course the newest, coolest thing - the 3d printer.</div>

<br />
A while back we considered purchasing document cameras for our new portables, which led to the inevitable discussion about cost and the evolution of the PVC Doc Cam (post to come). From that, this began!<br />
<br />
It was suggested that we post this as an unperfected project by the wonderful <a href="https://twitter.com/catclark" target="_blank">Marina Clark</a>... And I couldn't agree more! It would seem that there is endless potential in PVC... (Have you ever googled 'PVC Projects'?).<br />
<br />
Here's what we've done: We cut the PVC in 1m and 50cm lengths, purchased connectors, and provided the material to students in structured and unstructured settings.<br />
<br />
<span id="goog_380939060"></span>Structured Tasks: (<a href="http://evergreenlearningcommons.weebly.com/grade-4-shadow-legends.html" target="_blank">Shadow Legends</a>; <a href="http://evergreenlearningcommons.weebly.com/shadow-play.html" target="_blank">Shadow Play</a>)<span id="goog_380939061"></span><br />
Students in the 3rd grade are testing designs and building rooms, hallways, restaurants... One of my favorite moments was when they were "raising the roof" ... For a light and shadow project, students required a shadow screen (pictures below) which has been hung, propped from the wall, for the past couple of months.<br />

<br />
Students in the 4th grade are working on developing an outdoor classroom; they're studying area and perimeter, among other concepts. The most successful moment during this task was the embodiment of 1 meter squared... Where they understood area by existing within it. Then they created rooms that were 4, 6, or 12 meters squared, getting a sense of scale.<br />
<br />
<b>Unstructured:</b><br />
More amazing than the structured stuff is what the kids developed on their own. Leaving the PVC pieces in the LC as a building material, students made giant board games, quiet reading rooms, forts, props (okay, okay, weapons from Starwars... They're pretty cool, though!) and tipis.<br />

What's next? I don't know... The kids may construct soccer nets... basketball nets? A greenhouse? The grade 4 teachers are talking about making a camera obscura with blackout fabric. I don't know! That's why I wrote this post... What else can be made? What else can be done? Anyone want to take this journey with us?<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">By Annette Bennett and Steve Clark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">So I find myself moving to my third learning commons in as many years and once again defining what a learning commons should look like. This process is never ending. We are finding it needs to be continually revisited to ensure we are meeting the needs of our students as best as possible.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
A key point to remember is that the Learning Commons model does not replace the library, but rather, it enhances it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People are always asking, "What is a Learning Commons?", "What is the difference?" </div>
<div>
A Learning Commons needs to be a for students. Not for storage of textbooks, outdated resources or technology that nobody knows what to do with. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Annette and I decided to reflect on some things we have learned in our collective journey:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>An important step and one of the hardest is to cancel full class book exchange. Once this happens, it frees up the Learning Commons Assistant to support students more effectively.</li>
<li>He/she is then able to support students. Learning Commons needs to be for students. </li>
<li>The students are told that this was not to be a "quiet" space but it needs to be a respectful place.</li>
<li>The students need to have ownership in the space for them to want to use it and take care of it. They are the decisions makers, especially if you want them to be there. </li>
<li>Since Nose Creek School began in 2012 we opened as a Learning Commons - a space for the students. The students have always been involved in the decision making process. </li>
<li>They asked for bean bags, lego, lego walls, building straws, Apples to Apples, Monopoly, Uno and Twister. </li>
<li>The L.C. is always busy. Lunch time in the Nose Creek L.C. is always active with students building, puzzlemaking and playing games with their friends.</li>
<li>Students should be able to access things that they can't necessarily access in the classroom or at home. </li>
<li>We provide multiple areas for students to collaborate.</li>
<li>Lots of different places students can work at high tables, low tables, White boards and glass tables to write on, carpets, stools, bean bags and standing areas.</li>
<li>We have students helping on a daily basis - locking computers up, closing blinds, returning books to shelves, signing books back in, reorganizing tables and cleaning up. </li>
</ul>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Our students embodied robots for Evergreen School's Hour of Code. After courses were created, students ‘programmed’ their classmates to navigate the puzzles. Through building programs in sequential, logical order, the students will be able to apply this thinking to some upcoming programming tasks using <a href="https://lightbot.com/" target="_blank">Lightbot</a>, <a href="http://twolivesleft.com/CargoBot/" target="_blank">Cargobot</a>, and <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Scratch</a>… Plus, it was lots of fun… “Like a game!!” </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<b><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span>Here is what we did: </b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Part 1: Navigate my course!</b> <i>Students each write a program to go through a simple course made by a teacher.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Part 2: Build a course that can be solved in only 8 blocks.</b> <i>Students build a course and put their 8 blocks on the gray sheets. Then they mix it all up so others can play their game. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Part 3: Play all of the games you can.</b> <i>Students go around the room and try to beat all of the other games that their classmates made. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Part 4: Build a course with 12 blocks or 8 blocks and a protocol. </b><i>Students repeat the task, but with more challenge. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">All in all, an exceptional day of playing with code... Students were thoughtful, engaged, and interested in making increasingly challenging levels. Next, the 4s become student leaders as we open it up as a maker station for the school… We’ll see how that goes!</span></div>

These grade 1 students have been working hard to transfer their research into a Google Presentation (for the first time). So far, we have learned to:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Create a Google Presentation</li>
<li>Use Google's Research tool</li>
<li>Add 'free to use' creative commons licensed pictures and make them full screen</li>
<li>Add text and manipulate it</li>
</ul>

One thing that we have always needed is a way to keep our headphones organized. What better way to do so than to design and print a solution to this problem. Thanks to <a href="http://www.morphiapp.com/" target="_blank">Morphi app</a> and our MakerBot 3D printer, we were able to do so with ease! </div>
