Summarizing concepts in 5 or 6 images
It’s VERY important we practice and help other learners practice visual storytelling. I’m growing fond of three word phrases which summarize elements of the ISTE NETS. Talk with pictures. Communicate with media. These are some of the ideas which underlie the “Tell a Story with 5 Photos for Educators” project and Flickr group, created by…

Design Matters by Darren Kuropatwa at METC 2010
These are my notes from “Design Matters” by Darren Kuropatwa at METC 2010 today. MY THOUGHTS ARE IN ALL CAPS. Darren is the most amazing math teacher I have ever met personally, and one of the most visionary teacher-leaders alive today.

Telling a story with Google Search queries
If you were watching the Super Bowl last night on U.S. television, you likely saw Google’s advertisement, “Parisian Love,” during the third quarter. What a clever way to tell a story, through a series of Google searches and some well-timed sound clips. If you missed it, here it is, on YouTube (of course.) Is your…

I created a wiki page for the topic “use friendly images” as part of the 3 hour morning workshop I’m co-teaching tomorrow with Karen Montgomery here at the METC Conference in St Louis.
