I love neon....this was taken in no light, handheld, but by pushing the ISO to 3200, it created actually an abundance of light...the wood brain on the paneling adds a nice edge to the glow.

Scenes from the Open EdTech Summit in Barcelona, November 11, 2008
Future Mayors of @TownofNewmarket right here - it's in their blood! #FCLedu #ontariocodes #HourofCode t.co/YVRWMSlWl6 (via Twitter twitter.com/FCLEdu/status/806201844020211712)
The highlight of my year so far (and probably for some time to come) was the presentation given to EC&I 831 today by Dr. Richard Schwier and Dr. Jay Wilson. These guys gave an engaging and humourous presentation regarding the history of edtech BEFORE computer technology. I learned a lot and I know students enjoyed it! Thanks guys!
third version of a graphic I had started a while back... it started out as a map of some technology trends I research and talk about (see techtrendsineducation.wikispaces.com/ and treglia.wikispaces.com/)....
Then I started think, hmmmm, well what about the roads above the subway? I'm interested in more than just technology (contrary to what some people would believe lol).... and when I started adding some interests on my "map" I realized that the "See One, Do One, Teach One, Share One" graphic I had made went very nicely....
In this latest version, I added my PLN/PLE as well as making some design tweaks. I wanted to share some of the tools I use to find/share resources as well as identifying the areas of the social web I find most useful to connect with other educators.
Going to keep working on this one, eventually I'd like to add this or something like it to the visual cv I started working on (www.flickr.com/photos/krillion/16268033555/)...
Due to the ePIC and Eden conferences happening in the same place, I had a great afternoon conversation with Sheila MacNeill, Jim Groom, Audrey Watters, Bryan Mathers, and Martin Weller (who took the photo). Steve Wheeler was around somewhere too!
A couple hundred makers and teachers gathered at the ReMake Education Summit, held August 3 - 5, 2016, at Studio 180 in Santa Rosa, CA. I went there with my associate Sarah Brewer, who is helping me teach our maker art classes this fall. It was a great way to connect with other educators and learn from each other.
The conference started with a few short speeches by co-host Dan Blake, Doug Dougherty and others. We then made simple objects together, such as a ReMake T-shirt made with vinyl-printed designs heat-pressed onto the cloth.
The morning keynotes were inspiring, as presenters shared their experiences as maker educators. They taught at different levels, from pre-K to higher ed, yet they all observed that activities that are hands-on, project-based, student-driven and collaborative can help students find a sense of purpose -- and give them the confidence that they can change the world.
We spent the rest of the day joining a variety of breakout sessions ranging from crowdsourcing your makerspace, to learning how to program a Raspberry Pi, control animated robots or how to assess the impact of maker education on young learners.
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes, which combine art, tech and storytelling for young learners. I showed videos and photos of our recent Wonderbox and City of the Future courses, and how they help students develop their creative, technical and social skills in a playful way.
Many thanks to the team at ReMake and 180 Studios for organizing this fine gathering. They did a great job connecting teachers and resources. It was great way to share best practices, brainstorm new ideas, and start new collaborations. Well worth the trip!
