Why use Makey Makey in the Classroom?
Makey Makey is a useful, hands-on learning technology tool for learners of all ages, regardless of their academic strengths or weaknesses. Teachers who use the Makey Makey in the classroom will witness collaborative learning that fosters teamwork, problem solving, and multi modal learning. More importantly, teachers will learn and discover with their students, thus, creating a genuine moment of discovery shared by all in the classroom. The Makey Makey gives both teachers and students the opportunity to learn from each other in an environment that fosters risk taking and collaboration. Success is not measured by a single correct answer or technique but rather from the actions of making mistakes and trying different solutions to the tasks at hand.
