A little titling fun with Type to Design
For years I’ve returned to Erik Kastner’s Spell with Flickr to help me create slides and titles. I just discovered that Type to Design curates letter designs from Instagram. It’s a by-product of the 36 Days of Type project which challenged designers and illustrators to explore the endless graphic possibilities of type and upload those possibilities […]
Lesson Flows: app smashing instructional design
I’ve written quite a bit about app smashing, the understanding that it often takes more than one app or tool to effectively accomplish a digital task. Well, that concept is also true about building instruction these days. How can we better harness and leverage all of those appealing digital tools we discover? CommonSense Media, the […]
TL=thought leaders (and light bulbs)
Outside of our own little world, the letters TL do not obviously identify us. In her opening remarks at the Library Managers’ Congress of the big eduTECH Conference this past week, chair Karen Bonanno not only pointed to this confusion. She shed light on it. While my notes are a little sketchy, here are Karen’s […]
Give me some credit, please! (Exploring plagiarism through a series of clever case studies by Jen)
I am usually pretty darn proud of my MLIS students’ work. In going through my grad students’ final workshop presentations this semester, I found one just too useful not to share. So I asked for permission. Jennifer Bigioni is now the School Library Media Specialist at Princeton (NJ) High School. Designed as a professional development […]
If the Library of Congress pins . . .
If the largest library in the world, with millions of books, photographs, maps and manuscripts pins, it makes a pretty serious case for a new type of curation for libraries, learning, and learners. The white gloves are off. The Library of Congress is a pretty serious pinner. It’s an example of how social media can open […]
Just for fun: Google Feud
(Potential time suck alert.) Who would have expected knew that you could leverage the collective power of Google’s auto complete by mashing it up with a classic television game show? Based on the Google API, and developed by Justin Hook, Google Feud is the new age Family Feud. The game invites you to choose from […]
Playing around in 3D museums from Smithsonian and Google
Lately the digital galleries we visit have gotten a little more real. 3D scanned images allow us to get really up close and personal and around every bend. Recently launched, Smithsonian X 3D presents a variety of 3D collections. The objects are viewed in the sophisticated Explorer browser that allows incredible opportunities to manipulate, measure, […]
For me, Google Keep’s a keeper!
I don’t know why I haven’t discovered this super handy tool before, but I am delighted to find it. If you love using stickies to organize your life, and you find yourself keep list after list, then Google Keep is a keeper. The digital sticky note service is available for the Web, for Android, and […]
Remind gets chatty
Parents crave communication and engagement with their kids’ teachers. They want to know what’s going on. But crazy busy work and packed extracurricular schedules make communication a challenge. As educators we need a safe, private and efficient way to send the occasional update and reminder to our most important stakeholders. Remind (formerly Remind 101), a [...]
