    Floorplanner is a resource that I discovered in my EDIT 2000 class and have used numerous times since then. It is an interior design software that helps create layouts and floorplans, as the name might suggest. What does this have to do with education, right? My original use for it was to create my ideal classroom in the land of unlimited resources. If I wanted to, I could go back in and create a more realistic classroom so I could visually lay out how I wanted to conserve my space. This tool would be useful for anyone trying to visually plan out how to lay out a space, whether it be a classroom, bedroom, hospital room, cafeteria, etc. This resource taught me a lot about classroom layout and the way to make a classroom more efficient and user-friendly, which is huge in any educational setting.

    This site allows anyone to create their own website. It is easy to use, and it can help you create an educational website. It seems to be more aimed at use for businesses, but it could easily be used to create a website for a preschool classroom to keep the parents and teachers on the same page!

    This site is child-friendly and would be great for making your own website. It is easy to use, and it gives you many ways to create a unique, colorful, and educational website. There are many examples of websites that can be viewed as well.

    This looks like a wonderful website! The design layout was very clear to understand, and there are so many options (personal, business, etc.) I liked that there were websites to view, because I am not a very creative person, and I need a little help occasionally! :)

    Art Junction serves as a way for students and teachers to further their artistic abilities through the activities, projects, and resources offered on the site. It also allows for students, teachers, or other professionals to not only share their art but also their experiences in creating it. It offers ways for communities to work together for a certain cause, such as thinking of creative ways to help the environment. The blog is also up to date, informative, and full of good ideas.

    This is a collaborative document site that allows any number of collaborators to access their documents from any computer and will remind you of changes made. The website has many ofher useful features. You could use this tool in any number of ways. Students could use this site, but younger students would need some help and guidance.

    Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I tried to send the plan through the Listserv and I'm not sure if everyone was able to get it. Please follow this link to see a draft of the Tech on Deck plan for the Orlando conference. Last week, I had the pleasure to speak with Stephanie Olmore, director of NAEYC quality enhancement initiatives, regarding "Grandes Comienzo, Futuros Brillantes and the Tech on Deck. She mentioned that NAEYC is exploring to do things differently for the Orlando conference and that they would love to hear from us about how we can make Tech on Deck an event within the conference. I asked her about the possibility of getting donations though NAEYC that are designated to cover the cost of Tech on Deck and she said that this might be doable as they are exploring different things. She said that her team will start having conversations in January and that it will be helpful to have our proposal by then. I would like to have your feedback on the draft plan by December 27. Guiding questions/items: Venue (a room, exhibit hall, throughout the conference) Possible donors Possible speakers Who will or can staff this (volunteers, school, university in Orlando)? Let the discussion begin!

  • we’re living in a visual culture
  • benefits of positive visual stimulation
  • Even very young children, when encouraged, have the ability to express their complex emotional lives visually.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • until the second or third grade a child’s predominant means of self-expression is drawing.
  • But when they’re just beginning to write, they often rely on their drawings rather than their writing to convey the meaning of the story.
  • the need to attend to our neglected physical and visual surroundings
  • and the need we all feel to articulate and communicate something relevant about our personal and communal lives.
  • thirty years of thinking about how we learn, and how we express ourselves with images.
  • when I demonstrated how the camera worked to the people I wanted to photograph, everyone, myself included, felt more at ease.
  • Their desire to be photographed was as strong as their desire to photograph.
  • The children’s pictures were more complicated and disturbing than mine — and, I began to realize, much closer to what it felt like to be there.
  • Merton’s photograph reflects that fear.
  • Their pictures and writings made for an uncompromising look at the problems they faced.
  • It’s unlikely that the young people would ever have written what they did without the pictures to prompt them (Kathy’s writing came from the beautiful landscape photographs she’d made), and the pictures would have been difficult to decipher without the stories to accompany them.
  • their photo-essays were a starting point for acknowledging and discussing, in their own voices, a very tough predicament. (
  • how photography and writing stimulated one another. Many of the students I worked with had trouble writing; they would labor painfully over a sentence or two. But when they worked from a photograph that had something to do with their own lives, especially a picture they had taken themselves, they were able to write more — and what they wrote about was their own experiences.
  • Asking them to write about the subject they were going to photograph, then asking them to make a list of images suggested by their writing — this was a way to help them organize their picture-taking before they went out to shoot.
  • These children had never seen each other’s neighborhoods, certainly not each other’s homes or families. They were essentially strangers to each other.
  • When the students brought back pictures of their families and communities, each child tried to explain what was going on in the pictures, and the others eagerly asked questions.
  • teachers rarely come from the same community as their students. Photographs can give them a glimpse into their students’ lives.
  • Photography is perhaps the most democratic visual art of our time. For most of us, picture taking is a part of our family lives. We don’t need a particular talent, like the hand-eye coordination necessary for drawing, to render what we look at. Even children and adults unfamiliar with photography can make photographs of what they see and imagine. For those of us who have used cameras, photography offers a language that can draw on the imagination in a way we may never have thought possible before.

    Wendy Ewald shares from lessons learned working with children, using photography to express themselves. Lots of interesting ideas.
