Innovation in the Classroom...at the Beginning

Last year I had the opportunity to attend the MISA Innovation conference in London, Ontario. This conference was all about sharing ideas, asking questions, and discussing solutions around a variety of topics. At the end, we were invited to make our ideas reality by applying for a grant. I had lots of ideas and goals, and this grant allowed me to make some of them reality. My main goal was to increase student engagement, exploration, and fuel a love of creating.
With the money from the grant, I purchased some flexible seating (Hokki stools), Makerspace items (such as jinxwood cutters, wood burning kits, etc.), Google Cardboard sets, and a few MakeyMakey kits.
Here are some pictures, videos and testimonials from the kids!
