In the 21st century there has been a resurgence of the do-it-yourself movement. Libraries are becoming laboratories in which students learn to think, explore, and meet other like-minded individuals outside the classroom. Although makerspaces in public libraries have received more attention, many academic, museum, and special libraries are seeing the benefits of makerspaces. Makerspaces provide opportunities for self-driven hands-on learning, which encourages creative thinking and problems solving skills. This presentation will demonstrate the benefits of makerspaces for academic libraries, highlight academic libraries where “making” is happening, and provide practical examples of ways libraries can create high-impact low-cost makerspaces that engage and educate their communities.

This document summarizes two projects carried out by students at a Lower Secondary School in Krzeszow, Poland to promote English language learning.
The first project created an English language website and Facebook page to provide students vocabulary, quizzes, cultural information and photos related to British festivals. An English contest was held with results posted on the website.
The second project addressed low knowledge of everyday English words by students. For a month, vocabulary words were distributed daily for students to learn and translate. This culminated in an English word and culture competition with information posted on the first project's website. Winners received prizes.

Voices from the Middle article "Miles for Motivation"Lesley Roessing
The teacher implemented a "Froggie Miles" competition in her classroom to motivate students to complete assignments for non-grade rewards rather than just for grades. She divided students into teams and had them earn miles for their team based on completing assignments and activities. This increased student effort, engagement, and performance compared to just working for grades. Students took more academic risks and supported each other's learning because they saw it as helping their team rather than just themselves. The competition created a sense of community and excitement that engaged and challenged students more than the teacher grading assignments alone.
