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

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!

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/)...
