My daughter, Madilyn, has been begging me to teach her how to create her own virtual room after seeing my Virtual Makerspaces I've shared. Her favorite shows are on the HGTV Home network and she is constantly redesigning her room.
In fact, during this COVID quarantine, she's become a bit obsessed with it (mom eye roll here). So the other day I sat down and showed her a very rough tutorial and she went off to her room, laptop in hands. Ten minutes later she came back and blew me away with her creation! I was not only impressed with her virtual interior decorating skills, I saw how she lit up with creativity and excitement. It made me realize that students should be creating these! It's actually a perfect way to start out the year for students to design their own classroom or room showing their unique personalities and a way to share their likes and passions with their teachers and classmates. In addition, if we are to start the year with distance learning, how incredible would it be if teachers let them create their own digital learning environments? If you are a teacher who has created a virtual classroom, I highly encourage you to create the resources you want students to access, but then let your students do the designing. There's many ways to do this, I'll leave that to another blog post. Back to Maddie. I dedicate this lesson and post to her and I hope you'll share it with your students to give them a chance to create their own. They'll also learn a lot of tech tips and tricks as well with the video tutorials along the way.
