Digital Design in The Spark Studio

Digital Design!

Welcome to my digital design blog! I'm excited to be teaching a Digital Design class at Convent & Stuart Hall in San Francisco in our Unkefer Spark Studio as I'm a strong believer that connections between disciplines that have been traditionally separated in the academic world tend to lead to the most valuable educational opportunities.

As I start to explore the exciting intersection of art, science and technology I am focusing on the process as well as the product. That being said, students will be blogging their work on a weekly basis as a way to organize their thoughts and reflect back on their work while sharing the process and product with a more public audience. I plan to have them reflect on skills learned that week, successes and challenges throughout the week and their plan for a final project.

For our first unit we'll be exploring the Glowforge laser cutter. I've been wanting to explore this versatile tool for more than a year now and was excited to test it out during my first week in the Spark Studio. Here's a video of my first attempt to cut using an image of my son and daughter.

Online & Blended Learning for All, Like It Or Not

The time has arrived where there is no argument about the place of technology in education . We need to rely on tech to help everyone with delivering education from a distance as we are sheltering in place and we need to do so in an intelligent and effective manner without just bumbling through a Zoom video conference for an entire class period. Be available for question, but don't expect students to sit there and listen to you lecture for even 20 minutes, much less an entire 70 minute period as is the length at my school. I've pasted the tips here and then again below with examples and additional explanation.

🏺Codeblocks Vase!!🏺

I have the great fortune of teaching a Digital Design class at Convent & Stuart Hall in San Francisco. As part of designing the class I've gamified the progression of lessons into levels. Upon completion of each level students earn a badge. Here is the final Level for Team Makerbot, designing a Codeblocks vase using loops they create in Tinkercad's block coding feature, Codeblocks. This app is a great example of the exciting intersection of art, science, math & tech and serves as a great visual to help students visualize what exactly is happening as a computer runs through each line of a loop.

The Pandemic & Education

We can all agree that times are not like they have ever been within any of our life spans (at least for those of us under 100). What has been debated passionately is how we, as educators & school systems, should best work with this ongoing pandemic. Some schools have responded by going online to synchronous classes while others have decided to use asynchronous learning and still others have decided that they don't know enough about access and an expectation for online learning is not equitable so they sadly have their students doing nothing. You can go on any social media and see countless hot takes complaining about what not to do and exaggerating these scenarios. Parents are either dismayed by the huge amount of worksheets sent home and apps to download or saddened by the amount of time their kids now have with nothing to do from school. On the educator side "Students shouldn't be looking at Zoom for 8 hours a day" is one of my favorite disconnected complain
