Home screens have taken on a whole new look with the addition of all kinds of new layouts and buttons. Besides the usual listing option, students can now build circles, ovals, ellipses, squares, and rectangles. All of these, as well as the floating icon buttons, can be shaped and sized to effectively fit any screen on any device.
Visit our new MAD-learn website to get a wealth of resources and information about the program, the impact, and the people behind it all. If you could share it on social media and tag us @madlearn, we would be so grateful! Plus, take a close look to see if you are featured on it…
Dekalb County teachers like Heather Miller are textbook examples of what true partnerships between schools and program providers should look like. She immediately saw he value in having her students understand the lessons taught by the design thinking process, and used MAD-learn to help even her youngest students understand the link between being consumers and creators of technology.
Because she works with children representing a wide range of ability levels and English language proficiency, Ms. Miller has also created a series of “quick look” video tutorials to help her students better make their way through the program. She placed these videos on her web site, making them available for both students and colleagues.
This Oakcliff Elementary teacher has shared a number of other ideas with the MAD-learn team, and is helping to make the program even better! Heather is already planning a project for next year’s students in which they will create an app to help them and their peers better appreciate a large mural of the world and its cultures that adorns the school cafeteria. Stay tuned!
