Tinker Tips for Teaching

  • Make/find screencast for creating accounts and overview so you can circulate as students follow along
  • Require use of rulers and graph paper sketches
  • Cool things are made from simple shapes
    • Grouping
    • Holes
  • Look from ALL angles
  • If it seems “stuck” - refresh the page
  • Explore the Gallery for more possibilities
  • Have students “Collect” with a link in a Google Form or in Google Classroom
