The Play Make Learn Conference is a place for collaboration and discovery in the design, research and practice of playful learning, games for learning and positive social impact, making and makerspaces, STEAM education, and arts in education. PML creates an inspirational space for preK-12 educators, designers, developers, innovators, librarians, museum professionals, makers, and researchers to tinker together, share knowledge, and celebrate one another’s work.

This is resource provides a framework for appropriately pairing students in order to engage them in learning and maximizing collaboration time. It also stresses the importance of explicitly teaching students how to listen.

Production of Educational Videos is an introduction to technical communication that is situated in the production of educational videos; the assignments are all focused on the production of videos that teach some aspect of MIT's first-year core curriculum. The objective of these assignments is improvement in both communication ability and communication habits; these improvements are effected by providing participants with instruction, practice, feedback, and the opportunity for reflection. In addition to improvements in communication skills, improvement is expected in students' attitude towards writing, oral presentations, and collaboration; as the semester progresses, students should feel confident of their ability to write, present, and collaborate.

This is a ready-to-use professional learning module about literacy-related collaboration. It includes techniques and protocols for establishing and refining teams, as well as strategies for when collaboration becomes difficult.

Although the module focuses on literacy, the strategies are applicable to any team of adults.

This course examines the issues, principles, and challenges toward building relational machines through a combination of studio-style design and critique along with lecture, lively discussion of course readings, and assignments. Insights from social psychology, human-computer interaction, and design will be examined, as well as how these ideas are manifest in a broad range of applications for software agents and robots.

Information literacy skills are needed to help solve real-world problems, but K–12 students lack
these skills. The purpose of the study was to use Michael Fullan’s (2007) Change Theory
initiation phase to investigate teachers’ perceptions of their own openness to change and about
collaboration between a school librarian and a teacher in the context of information literacy
instruction. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods study was used to analyze teacher
perceptions by means of a quantitative survey and school librarians’ qualitative reactions
(gathered in interviews) to the results of the survey. Classroom teachers indicated a belief that
teaching information literacy skills was the role of both school librarians and teachers.
However, grading, assessing students’ progress, and teaching content-related information were
the role of the teacher. The classroom teachers and school librarians both reported
collaboration by dividing the lesson instead of working together on standards, planning, and
assessments. A key finding that could contribute to successful implementation of change is
gathering input from individual teachers by means of surveys and discussions in department
meetings and communicating educational changes through faculty and department meetings.

DQ: How do plants get lightThis is a lesson that can be used with second grade science around the time or before the students conduct the investigation on whether plants need light to survive. The students will learn to work collaboratively and trust their own experiences about plants and engage in a modeling activity. This lesson has been edited to add the Cultivating Genius Framework by Gholdy Muhammad to the lesson. Pursuits addressed : Intellectuality, skills  

As a class, read the book Six Thinking Hats by Edward DeBono. This book provides a framework to help people think clearly and thoroughly by directing their thinking attention in one direction at a time--white hat facts, green hat creativity, yellow hat benefits, black cautions, red hat feelings, and blue hat process.
Six Thinking Hats is a powerful book that facilitates critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. It allows each person's unique point of view to be included and considered. 
This activity will test students on their knowledge of what was learned through reading and discussion.
This can be used as final assessment after reading the book.

Focuses on the production of visual art for public places outside the gallery/museum context. Readings and discussions that engage aesthetic, social, political, and urban issues relevant to this expanded public context complement studio production. Traditional approaches of enhancement and commemoration are contrasted to more temporal and critical methodologies. Historical models are studied and discussed, including Russian Constructivist experiments, the Situationists, Conceptual Art, and more recent interventionist tactics.
