Jo is a fabulous media specialist in Coweta County. She shared some of the wonderful MakerSpaces she has used in her media center.
Step 1 in starting a MakerSpace decide on your focus. Jo decided her MS would be more technology based. She suggests you make a wish list. Her first year she asked for and received 5 iPads. She now has 27 iPads.
Code & Go Robot Mouse - great for little kids but older kids like it too, it's not as challenging.
Ozobots - Demco
BB8 - Scholastic Dollars
Merge Cubes 
Dash & Dot & Cue - most impressed with Cue. Can purchase Wonder Kit

Funding Maker Spaces 
     Look for Grants - Dollar General, Donor's Choose
     Someone has a school store in the library. 
     Indiegogo - crowd funding

Maker's Club - Friday afternoons - limited to 16 students with a waiting list. All day behavior counts. (Certain number of strikes and they are out.) Forget to bring your Chromebook - get a strike, etc.
She started with Unplugged Coding - she got from Teacher's Pay Teachers.

    My name is Mary Dean. I have been a library media specialist since 2007. I have taught Pre-K, 1st and 2nd grades. I was also an Instructional Technology Specialist and worked with all grade levels as well as teachers.
    Having fun with kids, books, and computers is just the BEST job anyone could have! I am blessed!
