This week I was tasked with making an infographic on Maker Education. As I have been taking this course, I have found that teachers I associate with are unfamiliar with the term “Maker Education”. They do not understand what the mission or the goals of the Maker Education movement are. Furthermore, they have trouble seeing the benefits. For these reasons, I chose to make my infographic an explanation of what Maker Education is. It includes some basic information, the benefits of Maker Education, and some important questions to ask before doing a Maker Education lesson. Without further ado, here is my infographic.
