As mentioned in my previous post, I was lucky to be in a meeting facilitated by Rick Schwier today. This wasn’t just because Rick, being one of the most positive people I know, is always a great person to be around. The meeting involved educators of all levels within my school division (well – [...]
This third twitterless day was tough, I’ll have to admit. I was lucky enough to be in a policy development meeting facilitated by Rick Schwier. It seemed very strange to me that I didn’t have any outlet for expressing my ideas/reactions/stupid jokes during the meeting. I actually had to (gasp) pay attention to the meeting. [...]

- My grade 9 students are learning/practicing photographic composition. See their work at http://t.co/c2lkNTDv
- @shareski I think you owe him for all the pictures of his kids you put in them.
- @shareski I thought design mattered.
- @cptteacher Thanks for your comments back to the students. They will be happily surprised to be getting comments from outside school.
- @pstratton08 Exactly my thoughts. And I think that knowing your work is going to be on display encourages students to find good photos.
