Hello again! For my last post, I am going to present a second educational tool - the Sphero Mini. It is an amazing piece of technology that all educators can use. Librarians can definitely include the Sphero Mini in their Makerspace area.  I hope that you will enjoy the presentation I created below.

Bongiorno_Cameron_Blog Post #3 - Technology Hardware

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set      Hi again! I selected the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set as the technology hardware I wanted to examine for its teaching and learning capabilities. Since my eldest daughter is a member of her high school robotics team, I was able to get access to this set. Her team uses LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Sets in their community outreach programs to teach coding to elementary and middle schoolers. Since I honestly did not have any idea what this set was all about or what it was capable of doing, I first did some exploring on my own at  SPIKE™ Prime – STEAM Set - Grades 6 - 8 | LEGO® Education . The Product Description on that webpage states : The LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set, part of the LEGO® Learning System, is the go-to STEAM learning kit for grade 6-8 students.

  https://www.josegalan.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/storytelling-efectivo.jpg Storytelling   Hello all! This is my very first blog post ever, and I ask that you be patient with me as I reflect on this week's module about storytelling. When I think of storytelling, the first thing that comes to mind is the many stories my mom shared about growing up in Charleston from the 1940s through the 1960s. I loved hearing her tales of summers on Sullivan's Island, wearing heels and dresses to football games, and shagging the night away. Her storytelling may not have been the caliber of professional storytelling today, but it engaged me and helped me understand how she became the incredible woman she is now. I especially loved learning more about my grandparents - their careers, community involvement, travels, and most importantly, the values that they passed on to her. As my mother reminisced about her adventures during her childhood and adolescence, I compared them to my own experienc...
