By comparing a peer-reviewed article with a professional article, report on your community’s perceptions of information services.
I choose Dale Dorgherty’s article in MAKE: Magazine online as my professional article. This article solidifies the diverse groups that is the Maker community. Through this article Dorgherty reflects on the individuals he encountered during this year's New York Maker Faire and how they affected him. This article once again highlighted the diversity of the Maker community and their commit to collaborations and sharing in order to teach and learn from others.
Makerspaces in the School Library Learning Commons and the uTEC Maker Model.Teacher Librarian was my peer-reviewed article. Throughout this article the authors defend the collaborative and multi-cultured environment that is the Maker community. They emphasize the uTEC model as a way to bring making and the maker mindset into educational settings. They propose using the uTEC model “as a framework for thinking and internalizing”(Flanagin, A. J., Hocevar, K., & Samahito, S., 2014) that can be used to help students and teachers in the classroom.
Both articles would be helpful. Each one furthers the others findings that the maker community is made up of a large demographic of individuals who willingly share, collaborate, and learn on a global level. They highlight making as a way to educate students for a future that doesn't exist yet.
