The DRAW EdTech Maker Space project launched last Friday, January 21st! We had 70 registered participants from 25 states, and 3 other countries (Hi, Canada and Jordan!) and are off to an exciting start, evaluating the content of the Digital Skills Library and filling any gaps. By the end of this curation project, we have a goal to add 500 unique resources to the Digital Skills Library. We’ll need YOUR help! Soon, we’ll share an Activity Submission Form so that
anyone can add aligned, open resources to the Digital Skills Library. Stay tuned!
