G's Curiosities

Formerly titled G's S.T.E.M. Blog.  I realized that my learning has moved beyond science, tech, and engineering, and into a larger buckets of design and education systems.  I wanted a title that reflects my core value and my current state of learning.  So welcome to G's Curiosities.

#30DaysofLearning w @Raspberry_Pi Day 1 - A Restart and Recap

3/2/2018

I said I would try again, so I"m going for it!  I met with a group of Assistant Principals from around my school District this week.  We discussed our beliefs around learning, what it means, and what conditions are best for learning for our students and ourselves.  This prompted me to bring up again the 30 Days of Learning Challenge with them.
30 Days of Learning Challenge

Basic Challenge Rules:  Thinking about the discussion we had about conditions for learning, make one simple change in your school community or classroom that will bring your closer to living your beliefs.  Try this new condition for 30 days.  Document your journey in whatever way works best for you.  Share with colleagues during and after the 30 days for feedback and reflection.

Step Up Challenge:  Expand your learning journey by stepping up the challenge intensity.  Document your journey through a blog or other online posting to share your learning journey for feedback and reflection with a global audience.  Actively seek feedback from new readers, leaders, and learners.

Step Out Challenge:  Forget about school and education.  Learn something new you have always been curious about an interested in learning.  It could be a new cooking style, an instrument, a mindful moment, creating, coding... anything, really.  Practice this new skill for at least 30 mins a day for 30 days.  Document your journey for feedback and reflection. 
​
And so I begin again, with some new colleagues, on a learning journey.  The last 30 Day Challenge for me, I attempted to improve both my questioning technique for coaching (Basic+Step Up) as well as trying to learn American Sign Language (Step Out).  Scroll through my previous posts to see how that went.  It was definitely a fun experience.

For this 30 Days of Learning, I'm only going to focus on a Step Out Challenge.  I am going to spend at least 30 mins a day for 30 days learning with a Raspberry Pi.  I have a project that was started and never finished, and I have been wanting to learn more about these boards for a long time.

For Day 1, I am reflecting on the progress I already made with my Raspberry Pi photo booth project and planning next steps.  I already did a lot of coding in this one, so for today, I recap what I have already accomplished in my Photo Booth project.

I haven't decided if that is going to be the only focus of my work during the next 30 days.  I have been reading MagPi magazine and getting lots of new ideas to try.  I am also reading Lifelong Kindergarten by Mitchel Resnick, and I want to dig into Scratch programming.  Hopefully finding a way to connect Scratch and Pi together.  I also have a Raspberry Pi Zero to try out.  I am excited about what I can create and what I'm going to learn.  Looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow.

If you have ideas or projects to challenge a novice maker like me to build, please share with me.  And be sure to give me feedback on the work I do as I progress over the next 30 days.
