The document introduces Teacher Tinker Time, which encourages teachers to take time out of their day to play, experiment, and engage in creative activities like children do. It contrasts the typical responsibilities teachers have like grading, planning, and paperwork with how Teacher Tinker Time aims to foster designing, building, and brainstorming through hands-on activities using materials like conductive dough and electronics parts kits. The goal is for teachers to relieve stress by engaging in fun, voluntary activities that promote innovation and figuring out how things work.

Several example STEM activities and lessons are then described in detail, including a parachute drop activity, circuit building with motors and batteries to create "jitterbugs," and using cups to build the tallest tower. Contact information is provided for the author who is a STEM coordinator and resources for further learning are shared.
How to be a STEM Champion
This document provides information about STEM and makerspaces. It discusses how makerspaces are creative spaces where people can invent, explore and collaborate using various tools and technologies. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The document questions current school approaches and argues for developing mindsets like curiosity, playfulness and risk-taking. It provides tips for starting a makerspace, including considering goals, leadership, projects and assessing students. The overall message is that learning is about enabling creative making rather than tools, and challenges the reader to start projects and make change.
Emergent Curriculum
A truly emergent curriculum is driven by the interests and developing skills of the children. Although it is typically well understood in concept, it can be challenging to implement โ particularly due to dependency on theme-based lesson plans. This workshop will discuss the importance of an emergent curriculum, why it works so well, and best practices for implementation.
ITEC 2018 LEGO Design Thinking

Participants engage in warmup exercises with the bricks before tackling challenges to build structured based on prompts within a time limit and share their creations. The discussion emphasizes that play is a form of learning and encourages creative approaches to using the bricks to represent concepts.
Learning corners part 2
The document discusses different learning corners that can be set up in early childhood classrooms. It describes learning corners as designated physical areas for specific learning activities where children can work independently or collaboratively. Some key learning corners mentioned include home corner, block corner, science corner, literacy corner, numeracy corner, and technology corner. For each corner, examples of activities and required materials are provided to help children develop skills like problem solving, socialization, and exploration in a self-directed manner.
The Classroom Story
The Classroom Story is an instructional approach that uses a shared narrative experience and game elements to increase student engagement. The teacher acts as the storyteller, creating a plot that students engage with by becoming characters and authors within the story. Students record events from their character's perspective. This approach stimulates collaboration as students interact with shared story events. It allows for flexible, student-driven learning as the story cannot be fully planned and produces unexpected student work. The Classroom Story encourages critical thinking, citizenship, technology use, collaboration, communication and creativity.

Designing interactive learning spaces - Wyoming steam conference
The success of libraries in the future will be determined by its ability to create stories rather than provide them. One way to accomplish this is by putting technology and people together so patrons become creators in makerspaces or other learning environments. Discover great new learning technologies and techniques for patrons, and how to build your new fablab or hackerspace. Arm yourself with facts for having interactive spaces to get buy-in from everyone from staff to public to the IT teams. Lastly, we will discuss ways to continually train and engage the staff so that your environment will constantly evolve

It's ok to play training module
Developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) is an approach to teaching grounded in research on how young children develop and learn. DAP recognizes that children's development occurs across physical, social, emotional, and cognitive domains; that children learn through active experiences; and that development is influenced by social and cultural contexts. DAP should be implemented wherever young children learn and play, including classrooms, homes, and group settings. Key aspects of a DAP environment include well-defined learning centers, print-rich materials, fine motor activities, and a focus on literacy, math, and science.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
