Nicholas Provenzano is makerspace director and middle school technology coordinator at University Liggett School in Grosse Point Woods, Mich. But before he transitioned to that position, Provenzano taught high school English for 15 years. It was during his years in the classroom that he developed experience helping his fellow teachers integrate technology into their lessons, and he subsequently earned a master’s degree in educational technology. He blogs about making and tech at The Nerdy Teacher and has turned his passion for these topics into two books, 2016’s Your Starter Guide to Makerspaces (Blend) and The Maker Mentality, which he self-published via CreateSpace in June. We recently asked Provenzano to share some of his thoughts on, and experiences with, the maker movement in schools.
