No one is perfect. Me least of all in the kitchen. And pretty much at every holiday, I make this kind of mistake. Sometimes, there's a fire truck. Sometimes, just the fire alarm. This time, doors and windows were opened, and fans turned on. Just burned cookies this time. No firefighters. No one gets it right all the time. I seem to never learn the timing thing in the kitchen. It made me reflect on our expectations, both for ourselves and for others-particularly our kids. Let me say it again: no one is perfect. Thank goodness. And wouldn't life be dull if it was? We all mess up. Sometimes it's little things like a batch of cookies left too long, other times much, much bigger and more important things. Life is hard. Sometimes we get it wrong. Very wrong. And we ask for forgiveness. And hope that the people we love will grant it. But that's life, right? It wouldn't be nearly so interesting if it always went right. And we wouldn't be who we are if we always got it right. </p><p>I think about my students. Seniors mostly and anxiously working on essays for college. Anxious about not getting into the "right" school. Their parents as well, understandably anxious, because all they want is for their kids to be ok. Parents worry. That's what we do. We just want our kids to be ok. Happy even. Best yet, successful. And so, we try to help, steer, aid, make sure they're alright. It's a natural instinct. Instead, what we should do is let them fend for themselves, get it wrong, and then figure it out. Our children, particularly post pandemic, have been sheltered. We took care of them. We felt badly that their lives were derailed and they were stuck in their rooms for hours on end staring at a screen. So we helped. We opened their snacks, delivered lunch, tried to make their lives easier. But now, it's time. Back to reality. Our kids need help. We need to step away, let them fail, and allow them to struggle. Sure, when it's too much, we need to step in, but we also need to step away. Often. And we, as parents, need to remember that they're going to be ok. Even if they don't get into the 'right' college. Even if they don't get A's or even B's. Let them learn. Let them struggle. Help them understand that they'll be ok, even if they don't get it right all the time. Life will be more interesting. They will learn to be kind to themselves, accept the failures as well as the successes. And they won't freak out when they burn the cookies. They'll laugh, hopefully, and put another tray in the oven and watch it more closely. Happy Thanksgiving.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHmC37sx5hxQ4gX_MH5zwQjHIFIHX_5H0R9xI7VjMELvHGiuTuWsIz8Wf8FKlJlWZY4Eu860KepcSyhzqDtJ7jHY6OQLtDIsQ6OeNqd3XPNyGzVUoV5LgKX7CwQQFJfAUNpQRSpIrwDT6HkAEnQtnC5vdTEUMf9bgQdDJk_AyQzr4ME2_8SO5UX56jQg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHmC37sx5hxQ4gX_MH5zwQjHIFIHX_5H0R9xI7VjMELvHGiuTuWsIz8Wf8FKlJlWZY4Eu860KepcSyhzqDtJ7jHY6OQLtDIsQ6OeNqd3XPNyGzVUoV5LgKX7CwQQFJfAUNpQRSpIrwDT6HkAEnQtnC5vdTEUMf9bgQdDJk_AyQzr4ME2_8SO5UX56jQg=w217-h289" width="217" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Lisa Yokanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485534180408967101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580226379024086065.post-17736972210591642082022-10-20T06:54:00.002-07:002022-10-20T06:54:54.525-07:00STEAM websiteI wanted to share the program's new website with everyone!<a href="https://sites.google.com/scarsdaleschools.org/steam/steam-home-page?authuser=0&scrlybrkr=4eeada3c">

The donated toys were ordinary, remote controlled toys that the students had "hacked" adapting them for people with disabilities. They also made big accessible buttons to go along with the toys, making it easy for people with disabilities to push the buttons and control the toys.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iCE6gQZOCo_TPUu8BqMhXe7V5Tm5A9uxNcp27SEUv4A7UdoXwXUcE2AnW6RLiHI3Xdj7kz-6B_9NMWNJjEcVVpTs92ZrzI7q8ceFcisjJ5cNyHmd_RYiL1nik5hN07OKNe0rizNM6qM/s1600/toy+hacking+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iCE6gQZOCo_TPUu8BqMhXe7V5Tm5A9uxNcp27SEUv4A7UdoXwXUcE2AnW6RLiHI3Xdj7kz-6B_9NMWNJjEcVVpTs92ZrzI7q8ceFcisjJ5cNyHmd_RYiL1nik5hN07OKNe0rizNM6qM/s400/toy+hacking+2.JPG" width="300" /></a><br />
Two of the students had previously attended a toy hacking workshop at <a href="http://www.adaptivedesign.org/">Adaptive Design Association,</a> in New York City, along with Ms Yokana, to learn from the toy hacking experts at <a href="https://www.diyability.org/">DIYability</a>. There they learned the specifics behind taking apart the toys, identifying the switches and figuring out where to solder the leads to the new switches. Students learned that an adaptive toy, one made specifically for those with disabilities, can cost hundreds of dollars more than a regular toy. They also learned to make simple, big switches from cardboard, tape and aluminum foil. After spending a Sunday morning at ADA, they were all excited to teach their classmates and hack more toys.<br />

The speech pathologists at IAHD worked with Ms Yokana to identify toys their patients would enjoy. Then, SHS students went to work. Pulling apart the remote controlled toys, they soldered wires to the solder pads of the existing buttons, which they soldered to switch jacks. By soldering the switch jack onto the solder pads of the existing switch, they were adding a second switch to the circuit. This second switch could be attached to an accessibility button, which students had made. Students finished up there soldering and fitted the toys back together.<br />

The joy was evident the moment Rima saw the toys! She played with all of them and immediately picked her favorite: the bubble blower. Our students were excited to see how happy the toys made Rima. In one student's words, "It was so easy for us to do and it brought her so much joy!" They also all agreed that it was a great way to learn more about circuitry and electronics.<br />

I've written a chapter about how we, at Scarsdale, built the case and the mindset for Design and Maker education by working across disciplines to create lessons that can be done in classrooms. Once the Design Lab is finished, we will have teachers ready to use it and students who understand the value of constructing something to demonstrate their understanding of complex knowledge. </div>

Check out the posts here: <a href="http://shsdesignlab.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://shsdesignlab.blogspot.com/</a> We just started our second semester teaching these two courses, in a Physics lab, in an effort to build the program before we have the space. At the same time, we have been planning for next year's courses and putting finishing touches on the Design Lab's plans.

All things I am fascinated with and passionate about, I have never really understood what they had in common until recently. They were all floating in my head-in that fuzzy cloud where connected ideas hover although I can’t clearly see their connections-and as I ran-which is when most of my ideas work themselves out, it came to me. Proust’s Madeleine was about sensory memory. Biting into that cookie caused Swann to remember having tea at his grandmother’s house. The smell, the taste, the texture of the Madeleine brought it all back. Sensory memories are strong and I have always understood that. But neuroscience and philosophy, until recently, argued that the mind and body were separate and that the brain could exist in a vat without a body. I have always instinctively known that wasn’t true. As a sensory being, I know that my thoughts, memories and ideas are intricately linked to sensation. When I want to remember where I have left my car keys, I remember the coolness of the marble counter and the clink when they hit that hard surface. When I want to remember something I have read, I remember where I was and how I was sitting-in essence what I was feeling-to enable recall. Brain and body are intricately linked. Neuroscience is just now beginning to prove this through fMRIs and other research. </span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-359f5037-cdc4-8125-5f31-cf38e42b0588"><br /><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Making art requires sensations. You feel the pencil, as it moves across the page. You know how the clay will feel as you shape it. Without that knowledge you cannot imagine what your work of art might look like. The knowledge of how a material will react is embedded in sensation and in your body as well as your mind-you cannot separate the two. And the joy you feel in creating is in part a sensory experience. I make works on paper, because I love the feel of the brush or pencil as it moves over the surface. It is soothing and exciting at the same time and fulfills me in a way that is inexplicable and primal. Man is a sensory being and we have been making things since before recorded history. Body and mind are linked: thoughts and feelings are permanently joined in our synapses. </span></span>Lisa Yokanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485534180408967101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580226379024086065.post-36059609465215910632016-08-23T06:51:00.001-07:002016-08-23T06:52:49.812-07:00Lisa's CV<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 144pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

It seems to me that most of mine have lost the ability to see the world around them and wonder about it. And it makes me sad. Electronics is one easy way to hook them into learning and doing.

Together he and I have seen hundreds of 'Maker' type spaces, both in schools as well as community based. We are both Makers. We have been from birth. In college, we shared professors, classes, and art studios and our conversations about making things began. 35 years later we are trying <a href="http://www.ksqthegarret.com/?aID=true&author=9" target="_blank">to help schools </a>change education for Generation Z-a generation of students who need to create, through rethinking educational spaces and teacher training.

I know that most professions don't have two months "off", but teachers don't really take two months off. We are always working, rethinking what we do and gathering inspiration.<br />
<br />
This summer has been great. I've worked with many great educators writing curriculum with them and rethinking practice. In every school I visited from Atlanta to New York, dedicated educators were there on their "vacation" working to refine and reimagine their curriculum to better prepare our students for the world today. I met incredible Heads of School, who wanted to support their teachers and created time and space for that to happen. I worked with amazing department heads who started their conversations with me by telling me that <b>their </b>departments contained the best teachers anywhere. And everywhere I went teachers were there because they cared about their students and about giving them the best experience possible.<br />
<br />
It is a privilege to work with such caring educators. And I love every second of designing with them. The energy in the room as this work unfolds is phenomenal. I wonder how we might keep this energy flowing during the year, when most of us feel the incredible time crunch of schedules and coverage and the idea of brainstorming feels too difficult because we are all flat-out all the time.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://teachersguild.org/challenge" target="_blank">The Teachers' Guild</a> might be one way of continuing that collaboration throughout the year in an easy online platform. It's the brainchild of IDEO, Riverdale Country School and Google and it gives teachers an easy way to collaborate and design together even when we can't physically be together. Last week I went to a #Dare2Design meetup at Riverdale where I met and worked with like-minded educators who were looking to hack the system in order to make education better for our students. It's so empowering to connect with others who work and think in the same way. I am planning on continuing the collaboration throughout the year, because despite the time crunch of our everyday educator lives, it's important to keep that positive mindset. It's easy to get stuck in our own silos, but being connected to others engaged in the same struggle is empowering and imperative. So join us on The Teachers' Guild website and engage in the conversation to reimagine education!Lisa Yokanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485534180408967101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580226379024086065.post-81217199379423489642015-08-03T05:32:00.001-07:002015-08-03T05:32:06.068-07:00If You Build It...
