Who doesn’t love illustrations? That’s a rhetorical question. I doubt that anybody would take offense to illustrations being interspersed amongst the text of a story. The Guardian treats its readers to a taste of a new series of recently illustrated children’s classics. Walkers have put together some of the world’s greatest children’s literature with the best [...]

Eric Gjerde – Origami tessellations

Still continuously amazed at what I find on Flickr. I used to think it was where people shared photos of their family, sunsets and the such, but I realise that its potential is far greater. It’s such a rich store of images, ideas, creativity. Today I’m not feeling well, and so I’ve been living on the [...]
Why brainstorming is ineffective and how to fix it

Photo credit: khoraxis Psychblog has posted a controversial article entitled Brainstorming reloaded which claims that brainstorming doesn’t work after all. Brainstorming, as a method of pooling the group’s ideas, has been around for a long time. I know that Australian teacher librarians, at least, still promote it as a starting point for research, and subject teachers are also using it [...]

Just found a quotation supported by an image in the group Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary through a tweet by Darren Kuropatwa (@dkuropatwa). Love the group. A rich store of inspirational images and graphics, which can be used either for a presentation or to spark conversation and ideas, or even as a poster. The photo [...]
The art of storytelling

Another serendipitous adventure. Here’s how a day off turns a morning into a virtual rabbit hole. A notification of a new Twitter follower @lazicdusan led me to a tantalising feed focussing on the Arts. I wanted to share one of the resources I found while putting them onto my art wiki. Above is a video called Six [...]

Posted in 21st century learning, Education, network literacy, networking, teaching, technology, Web 2.0, tagged 21st century learning, Education, elh09, Jenny Luca, NING, participatory learning, Web 2.0 on August 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Steve Collis was kind enough to livestream (not sure if that’s a verb) Jenny Luca’s presentation at elh09 technology and learning conference at Lorne today. Brilliant for me for two reasons: firstly I couldn’t afford to go, and secondly it’s my day off so I could watch it. Well done, Jenny! As always, Jenny has [...]

more about “Jenny Luca – Ning“, posted with vodpod I’ve just listened to Jenny Luca’s presentation from the elh09 conference in Lorne. This is the slideshow that accompanied her talk. You’ll find it here on her personal wiki. I’ve had to put the live stream (well, it was at the time) [...]
What would happen if maths and language arts teachers swapped jobs?

Art21 blog has given me an interesting idea in their latest post: Last year the Guardian asked its sports and art writers to swap pieces for a day. Tennis correspondent Steve Bierley reviewed a Louise Bourgeois (Season 1) exhibition, which Bob and Roberta Smith fell in love with and subsequently made into a text-based painting. [...]
