Make, fix and create.
I believe that giving students the ability to actively learn an academic lessons makes the learning far more meaningful to them and hence more permanent. In a classroom setting, working hands-on allows students the ability to demonstrate their learning concretely. It allow them to bring into physical form objects that, only moments earlier, lived in their imagination as abstract thoughts or ideas. These objects demonstrate, for all to see, some of the challenges the students faced and the learning that has taken place during the creative process. The feedback that students get from the objects is immediate and objective; there is no hiding the result.
The phrase “make, fix and create” is borrowed from Doug Stowe http://wisdomofhands.blogspot.ca. His blog was the source of inspiration for my foray into woodworking with my students on a weekly basis.
I encourage you to make, fix and create.
