PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NETWORKS
- K12Makers.com - From the website: "Welcome! Digital fabrication labs, maker spaces, innovation labs are popping up in K-12 schools all over the country (and the world!) but are still rare enough that many of us aren't living in close vicinity to many other similar labs. Let's build a virtual community of lab directors/administrators/coordinators/enthusiasts so we can share our best practices, tips, tricks, challenges of managing and running such labs. Consider this a forum for all things about digital fabrication in K-12 education - equipment reviews, conference/workshop announcements, rumors about new gadgets, troubleshooting problems, advice about vendors, cool resources for projects, etc. "
- Makerspace.com - This site, from Make, is in beta. It is intended to be an online place for makers to showcase their work and share their stories.
