#MakerEd Infographic

I have learned so much in the past 7 weeks! This week’s assignment to create an infographic about the Maker Movement was really fun for me because it helped me realize how much I have learned and what I can articulate! Now that I know so much about an innovating and forward moving idea, I want to be able to share it.

I created my infographic as a tool for any educator who is brand new to the Maker Movement idea and concept. Any teacher, K-12 should be able to view the infographic and come away with a beginning overview of what #makered is and why it’s so awesome! While it’s impossible to fully explain such a complex idea in an infographic, this should be able to get wheels turning and conversations started. I used concepts I’ve learned throughout the whole semester from various sources (cited below) to put together one cohesive overview of what the Maker Movement is, why it’s worth a thought and how to get started.
