Abstract

This chapter addresses the process of creating cross-curricular projects in an online environment, specifically the considerations, constraints, and methodologies. It discusses how to approach this type of learning through the lens of students' technology literacies, providing meaningful connections to digital pathways with which students are already engaged and authentic learning. The chapter also describes a digital makerspace as an avenue for student learning to take place. Finally, the authors present a student project that represents a culmination of these techniques. The project uses the engineering design process to blend both science and English language arts practices using side-by-side inquiry and the digital makerspace as a presentation medium.
