- A big emphasis on creativity, both high- and low-tech.
- Personalization
- A need to rethink how we do professional development in schools
- A real movement towards getting more computer science and coding in the curriculum. Speaking of which...I hope you saw my last post about Hour of Code.
I also wanted to share the slides from my own presentation about using screencasting. Thank you to Amy Wardwell, Olaf Verdonk, and Nicole Gorman for their contributions. Note that some of the examples may not play because they are not publically shared.
Oh, and here's a nice site I learned about (from watching a keynote speaker use it)-- https://www.flaticon.com/. Lots of free icons to use in your presentations (attribution required if you have a free account). I'm a big fan of icons over realistic photos when you want to present a general image over a specific one.
For example, consider this image of a student (from Pixabay.com)
versus this one
Icon made by Smashicons from www.flaticon.com
They're both compelling, but the icon perhaps better represents "all thinkers."
