Maker pedagogy is an approach that utilizes the principles of ethical hacking (i.e., deconstructing existing technology for the purpose of creating knowledge), adapting (i.e., the freedom to use a technology for new purposes), designing (i.e., selecting components and ideas to solve problems), and creating (i.e., archiving contextual knowledge obtained through engaging in the process of making, as well as the actual tangible products) as part of an overall way of working with those interested in learning about science and technology. It is possible that these principles re-shape a notion of what is means to learn to teach by encouraging the maker within each one of us.
For the EdMedia project, I created mash-up icons to demonstrate the principles: hack, design, create, adapt.
