New Orleans, here we come…

by | Friday, February 01, 2008

Matt and I will be at New Orleans next week for the AACTE Annual Conference. The last time I went to New Orleans must have been in 2000 or 2001… so I am looking forward to going there. There are three specific things we will be involved with.

  • Meeting of the AACTE’s Innovation and Technology Committee, Thursday, February 7 from 4:15-6:15 p.m. Norwich Room on the 3rd floor of the Hilton New Orleans Riverside
  • Book signing for Handbook of TPCK, Friday, February 8, 2:00 – 3:30. We are expecting the following authors/editors: Matt Koehler, Punya Mishra, Mario Kelly, Nancy DePlachett, Marcela van Olphen, Raven McCrory, Joel Colbert…Having never participated in a book signing before… I am kind of excited, even though this is an edited book, and I have just one chapter in it, co-authored with Matt. That said, it is a book on TPCK, which is cool.
  • AACTE Major Forum, Saturday, Feb. 9, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. in the Versaille Ballroom
    I have blogged about this event before… more details, and copy presentation coming soon.

LanguageART: Meaning making through type & image

Sep 3, 2018

I love collecting quotations—usually related to learning, design, and creativity. Over the past couple of years I started trying to visualize these quotations, playing with type and image, to tease apart their meanings, sometimes to undermine, sometimes to enhance. I...

Palindromic poetry: Falling Snow

May 4, 2011

Hurting but happy!

Sep 28, 2008

This morning I participated in (and completed) the Capital City River Run Half Marathon. The emphasis is of course on "completed" - I wasn't into breaking any records here. I got a pace of 10:15 per-mile (which was approximately what I had last year as well). The...
