I try to allow students to do a 20 minute activity on Fridays; a tradition we've dubbed "Funsie Friday". Today, I allowed a small group of students to use my iPad, the Minecraft stop motion app and gave them about 1 minute of a "how to" and turned them loose. This is what they created.
They worked collaboratively drawing on the engineering design process and elements of STEAM to create this short piece. It was fun to step back and watch them work; it was as though they all immediately knew what to do and how to work cooperatively...and we're only in the 4th week of school! I can't wait to see what they're designing by the end of the year!
