EdSurge Review: A guide to why ‘Making’ should be in every class
EdSurge Review of Invent To Learn by Betsy Corcoran, CEO and Founder of EdSurge:
Okay, I confess: I love this book.
Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroomby Sylvia Libow Martinez and Gary Stager, does a fantastic job of laying out the pedagogical underpinnings for why “making” has a place in school.
In their readable, down-to-earth style, Martinez and Stager provide a rich history of why making activities not just belong in school but are the root of genuine learning: “The maker movement may represent our best hope for reigniting progressive education,” they write.
