Fabrice Florin gave a 20 min. presentation about Maker Art at the reMAKE Education Summit at 180 Studios in Santa Rosa, on Thursday, August 4, 2016.
About Maker Art
In our maker art classes at Tam Makers, we help students build miniature worlds with animated characters, then bring them to life with light, sounds, motion -- and stories. Kids combine art and electronics to create their own ‘wonderbox’. In some classes, we also coach them to make a City of the Future together. In the process, they get deeply engaged and develop a wider range of creative, technical and social skills in a playful way. In this talk, we shared what we learned together in our first maker art classes at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, California.

The document describes a family literacy program called Wayne-Metro Even Start that offers four programs to help families: adult education to help adults earn a GED or improve English skills; parent education on child development, health, and job skills; parent-child interactive literacy with reading activities for families; and early childhood education including Head Start preschool. The programs provide small classes, trained teachers, books and materials, and field trips to help adults improve skills and parents and children learn together.
The document is a slideshow for a wedding with 77 scanned images labeled "For Review Only" and file names indicating they are photos from the wedding and reception of Baker.
This document discusses how product managers can use social media to gain market insights. It suggests listening to conversations on social media about one's product, competitors' products, and related topics. By finding patterns in what people say across various social media platforms, product managers can learn what customers think about their products and how to improve them. The document advocates developing a social media strategy to systematically gather these insights and make better products based on customer feedback.
The document provides a recipe for maple cookies. It lists the ingredients needed which include butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, egg, maple syrup, flour, baking soda, salt and walnuts. The instructions explain how to cream the butter and sugar, then mix in the other wet ingredients. Dry ingredients should be sifted together and added to the wet mixture. Dough is chilled before dropping spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Cookies bake for 10-12 minutes and cool on a wire rack.

The document discusses strategies for system administrators to prevent failures, including planning for worst case scenarios, minimizing risks, and gracefully recovering from mistakes. It recommends documenting plans, testing changes, verifying success criteria, imagining potential issues, and reflecting on implementations through post-mortems to improve. Tools like documentation wikis, testing frameworks, staging environments, and communication with colleagues can help avoid and recover from failures.
The document discusses architecting user experiences with Flex and discusses:
- How Flex works in the browser and on mobile/desktop.
- Flex components that have mobile skins.
- Features of Flex 4.5 for mobile like ViewNavigatorApplication and ActionBar.
- Support for tablets in Flex 4.5.
- Using Flex and Java together for real-time collaboration applications.
A wiki is a web page that allows multiple users to easily edit and collaborate on content. It provides teachers with a free tool to empower students to participate in group projects by creating and sharing pages, files, pictures and videos. Wikis give teachers control over who can view and edit pages, with a history of changes tracked by user and timestamp. Setting up a wiki is as easy as using Microsoft Word.
This document describes life in Greenland from the perspective of someone born in Uummannaq. It shows the flag of Greenland and a picture of the town, as well as the school they attended called Atuarfik Edvard Kruse. While traditional Inuit culture involves hunting and fishing, not everyone participates in those activities anymore as people now hold different types of jobs.
Lorelle at WordCamp 2008 - 260 Ways to Break WordPressLorelle VanFossen
Lorelle VanFossen speaks at WordCamp 2008 on 260 Ways to Break WordPress - how the WordPress Community is pushing WordPress and breaking it, and how we all benefit from the push to defy limitations in design, PHP, and blogs in general.
This document discusses the evolution of instructional technology over time from the 1940s to the present. It suggests that learning from history shows how simple technologies can lead to greater innovations. Additionally, it notes that technology plays a significant role in supporting education and that we should appreciate the technologies we have now as previous eras did not have as many options.
The document discusses Pocket Philippines, a company that produces and distributes free postcards and brochures with commercial and informational messages. The cards are placed in racks in public buildings like hotels to advertise local attractions, restaurants, retail outlets, and other venues. The target market includes tourists, travelers, and visitors seeking information about places to go. The document outlines Pocket Philippines' services, production and distribution process, locations where cards can be found, and benefits for both clients and consumers.
The document discusses failures that can occur in projects and provides suggestions to prevent and recover from them. It suggests planning for failures by documenting work, testing implementations, verifying assumptions, considering different perspectives, and conducting post-mortems. Tools like wikis, test frameworks, staging environments, and collaboration with others can help address failures in documentation, testing, verification, imagination, and implementation. Conducting reflections and learning from mistakes is important for improving future work.
