 This kitchen metaphor for libraries addresses a shift in thinking in the learning comments from a place to only get stuff to a place to make. We need to stop thinking of the library as a store, a place to get stuff, and start thinking of it as a kitchen, a place to make stuff. Libraries are becoming maker spaces, giving all students access to workstations with fast processing speed, adequate memory, and software for video and photo editing, music production, voice recordings, computer programming, multi-medium composition, and even 3D printers. Characteristics of maker spaces are illustrated in this learn by doing model. Imagine, question, explore, think, work, construct, reflect, tinker, rework, create, share, celebrate. Design a collaborative LC with maker spaces for discovery, play, and experimentation, as presented in the Alberta Learning Comments Policy and Leading Learning. This K-9 Fine Arts School in Calgary has done a lot with their physical space by rearranging furniture, having attractive book displays, and using student art, the cost being almost free. In addition of a Lego wall and green studio, we're not too costly at investments. The Cardboard Challenge was a successful maker space experience building with cardboard in Calgary schools. On this web space, notice the ideas on the right for other maker spaces, events, and suggestions. Rethink physical or virtual LC maker spaces using the UTechMaker model in a learning shift from consumption to creation. You can download a UTech model poster from the Learning Guide. Key descriptions for Learning Commons maker spaces are the Learning Commons physical and virtual spaces are safe, flexible, spacious, and well designed to accommodate a variety of learning activities including maker spaces. There's workspace for individuals, small group learning, and classes. And students participate in teacher co-plant maker space experiences for the purpose of attaining curricular outcomes. We encourage you to read Teacher Librarian, Michelle Davis' first-hand experience, investigating, planning, developing, and implementing a school library maker space with a team. This maker space journey could serve as a template or resource for others in developing maker spaces. Share and discuss questions from the Learning Guide with other staff members. How are you developing and using maker spaces in the Learning Commons? How can you involve teachers and students in collaborative maker space design?
