Gever Tulley teaches life lessons through tinkering

You'll find that there are a lot of posts about education on this website and it's because I believe in new and different ways of teaching and learning. This is a video about allowing kids to tinker to learn. He doesn't restrict the children to simple tools like safety scissors and tape and glue, he allows them to use real power tools to build real objects. This is a short video so you only have to set aside about 5 minutes for this one.

Visual Thinking Models

Today I thought I would post a link to an article about different visual thinking models. The link I'm sharing with you is created by Aaron Williamson. The article talks about different ways of structuring content in a visual way and the ways different people might approach subjects visually.

The link to the content is here: http://shiftandshare.com/?p=83.

The website also seems to have some other really interesting topics related to visual thinking so I would encourage some snooping around once you've finished the article.

Hiatus

I know that it has been over a month since my last post and perhaps many of you may think I have abandoned this blog for bigger and better things. I just thought I'd write a quick post to assure you lovely readers that this isn't the case. After my grad show presenting a lot of this work I hopped a plane for Europe. Since I got back I have been mostly focused on finding a job so, once things settle down again and I have found myself a nice secure job the posts will again become more frequent as I will actually have time to spend finding more interesting pieces to share.
