Igniting Innovation and Creativity in Our Makerspaces With Digital Tools and Apps

Ballroom West

With Makerspaces popping up in schools, libraries and public spaces, there is also a place for the digital tools and apps that we can use to ignite innovation, model design thinking and create amazing projects and digital stories. Have you thought about using a stop motion app to have students record the story they wrote for their LEGO or Minecraft world? How about using a digital storytelling tool to share the process of how they created a new invention or recreated a historical event in the Makerspace? And what about the ability to find resources, project ideas and online communities for our makers? Shannon McClintock Miller will connect you to several digital tools and apps that enhance, engage and inspire our students as makers and within Makerspaces.
