Who's the Teacher here?

To put this post in context, these are second graders.  SEVEN YEAR OLDS!!  Most of them have Legos at home, but the WeDo Robotics Kits are new to them.  In the class of 20 kids, I had one who used Legos for the first time (and subsequently went home and asked her mom to get her some for her birthday this year), one who had built plenty of times, but had never followed the pictoral directions for building something specific, and many who were skilled at Legos but were learning how to use the coding tools on the WeDo software to control them.  This video really captures how my role has changed with the addition of the Makerspace - I am not the only teacher in the room.  As a matter of fact, most days I am the facilitator, and they are learning from each other.  What a great experience for the student-learner and the student-teacher!!
