Maker Educator: Someday/Monday

“Monday” list

Monday Lists are activities or projects that I have the materials to implement on short notice:

1. Trash Cars Challenge (4 hours, 9th grade)
2. Classroom IoT Garden with micro:bits (Ongoing early finisher activity, 10th grade)
3. Bagged Challenge (marbles, pencils, string, dominos)

“Someday” list

Someday Lists are activities and projects in which I’ve outline the required materials AND the materials I still need to have donated, purchased, or made to outfit my makerspace. Someday lists are my next steps for my makerspace.

• I use DonorsChoose to organize materials requests
• I use Google Sheets to maintain materials wishlists
• I use Google Tasks to track specific To-Dos

Google Tasks

I use Google Tasks to create to-do action items whenever they pop into my brain. It’s ideal for one person, and it’s convenient for me to switch between to-do lists for my work vs personal accounts. I would like to have an Alexa-to-Tasks skill…that’s on my to-do list. 🤣
