This “Makes” section is a repository for different projects that we have worked on that showcase the affordances of digital platforms. These makes will continue to develop over time as the theories surrounding each field advances. While each “make” engages in different aspects of education, they afford the viewers the opportunity to expand their conceptual horizons of the varying theories within pedagogy.
