This past winter my building was allotted funds to spend on technology improvements. We decided to spend a little over half of those funds on collaboration stations and the rest on starting a makerspace. (See how I planned the makerspace here and what we started with in it here.)
Then I coordinated with district technology to setup a sign-up calendar on our intranet page and led the writing of policies and procedures for the carts (a one pager of how to sign up, how to use, how to transport, etc.). I also gathered a list of lesson ideas through various educators in my building and brainstorming to share with the staff to give them ideas on how these could be utilized.
This is our current list of ideas:
I plan to continue adding to that list as we go. These are often checked out by teachers and wheeled to their classrooms for use or taken to our Large Group Instruction room that students can sign up to use, but they are housed around the library as their home base. I'm hoping to give students the option to use them when they aren't checked out during SLT (like a guided study hall) this year.
