      I would really love it if this student was encouraged to follow up on her work, to do more and to find mentors (animators, gamers)

      Another question you might ask yourself: is there a way to design stuff so that it is less toxic and more easily recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life? I am so happy to know that you are thinking about this problem now. You may very well might be the one to solve this thorny problem.

How We Used Technology for Writing This Year - 2 views

  • We used Gamestar Mechanic, and we worked to connect the design process with a writing process, and how story narrative can be the backbone of a good video game. Plus, we made a lot of connections to our science curriculum with the game design project. I sort of took a chance on the idea this year, and it paid off.

      A very interesting discussion with Kevin Kelly about his new graphic novel (NSFKids) Silver Cord. In the podcast he talks about all the collaborative workflow of getting all hands on deck. there is an especially interesting patch where he talks about how doing a graphic novel is like building a building--structure first then the skin. Very revealing stuff and good for kids to hear how adults are just making some of it up as they go along.
  • The first days of school, they were on Photostory 3, working on creating digital story dream scenes . I returned to the collection the other day, just to remember how I remember them from the start of the year now that they are moving on and out of our elementary school. The combination of visual representation, setting forth aspirations, and using digital tools to tell a story is a fantastic way to begin the year in our class.

      We forget how hellpful digital writing is for reflection. At least I do. This is a great idea to have a digital project early on to not only set the tone but to use as a historical benchmark to compare at the end.

      Having a focus for using tech tools is inspired and essential. Gives them an authentic weight.

      I have been using ipadio as well for years in my own attempt to'annotate' the world.
  • The webcomic space then became a place we returned to from time to time, but not often enough. Mostly, it became an extension activity zone for some of my students who needed something a little different.

      I utterly agree with you about the necessity of this space--webcomix. I think you could use a lot of new data visualiztion tools out there if you wanted to get away from Glogster or if you wanted to do something like Glogster-->Prezi-->Visual.ly
