Education 2.0 & 3.0

A few taps here and there are all it takes to clear out large swaths of digital detritus from your iPhone.

When I first started the Stewart Makerspace back in 2014, one of the earliest tools that I purchased was a MaKeyMaKey.  My students loved it, and because they are so affordable (only $50 each) I was able to get a set of 10 of them through a DonorsChoose project, allowing students to work on longer term projects without having to take it apart everytime.  However, storing that many MaKeyMaKeys can be tricky.  I started out with keeping them in the original boxes and storing them all together in a large plastic box, but it became difficult to wrangle all the wires back in each time.

How much space is left on your iOS device? Do you hit a wall whenever you try to update your OS or download new apps? What's the best way to move files you want to keep in order to free up space? And how can you make smart decisions about what to keep and what to delete? Follow these few simple steps, and you'll be on your way to a less overloaded, more organized iPhone or iPad.

LEGOs can be tough to keep organized, but over on IKEA Hackers, they’ve put together a guide that fits a number of IKEA parts together with a few third-party drawers to get things organized.

The setup here uses a large Trofast frame and storage boxes, integrates a work lamp, and tosses in some casters to make it easy to move. That’s all alongside labels for every different part and smaller drawers for some of the pieces. The whole thing is a masterclass in organization and well worth a look if you (or your kids) have a disorganized set of LEGOs all over the place.
