Maker Educator Convening

Makers have both products and processes to show. The process of creation is full of ideas, mistakes, new branches, just-in-time learning, problem-solving, persistence, and iteration. Portfolios present visible evidence of learning. Innate to the process of creating a portfolio, learners must reflect on their work—articulate the successes and struggles along the way, consider their audience, and curate their identity.

In this session, participants will practice the documentation process and explore digital portfolios tools that capture and products and processes in making. Participants will also explore opportunities to participate in a new certification program for national recognition of digital competencies to enhance teaching and learning, through the PBS Media Literacy Educator Certification.
