Since 2013, Ben Heine's Pencil Vs Camera concept has become popular in primary and secondary schools worldwide. Heine was quickly contacted by art teachers and schools requesting to use and teach his techniques to their students. They are showing them Heine's creative process through pedagogical worksheets and ask students to do similar images to stimulate their imagination, train their drawing and photography skills, encourage them to use new technologies and motivate them to share ideas and communicate. Heine's work also allows teachers to discuss the differences between observational and imaginative drawing with the art class. The students either create their own artworks from scratch or use Heine's images with the sketch removed to have something to start with

Often described as a "science fair for teachers,” this event allows educators to see new methods for teaching physical science concepts, win door prizes for their classrooms and earn one recertification point.

Summary: In this activity students studying Animal Farm create a trading card using images from Flickr and Trading Card Maker from bighugelab.com . In the description area of the card students will write a little rap about the character they have chosen
This lesson can be easily adapted for different grade levels and applied to many novels.
Understandings: Students are able to express key personality traits in a creative writing exercise and choose a representative photo.
Essential Questions: How do images reflect character traits?
How can we briefly express a key character attribute?
Performance Task: Students will describe the essential traits of a character from Animal Farm in a short 'rap'
Student will choose a photo to represent a character in line with that character's personality.
DO NOW: Write 2 phrases that describe a main character from Animal Farm.
1. Working in pairs, students choose a main character from Animal Farm to write a short rap about.
2. Students go to bighugelabs.com and select Trading Card activity.
3. In another browser window, students go to Flicker and locate a picture that exemplifies a main character from Animal Farm from the "Fiberglass Public Art on Parade." (no account is required)
3. Students copy and paste the URL of the picture into the "Choose a photo: URL" section of Trading Card Maker.
4. Students complete the Title with the Name of the Novel (Animal Farm) and the sub-title with the name of the character.
5. In the Description box, students write a short rap (6-8 lines) that fits into the available space about that character.
6. Students save the card to their class account if available (or send to their flicker account) and print it when finished
7. In their class blog, students write a paragraph describing how and why the chose that photo to represent the character.
The idea was that each kid picked two random words from a bag and pasted them on a page. Then we talked about how the words worked with each other-- changed meaning, meant different things based on placement on the page, and so on. This way they get an introduction to words as raw material, absent of meaning.

Local teachers attended the expo to learn about classroom-tested science lesson plans created for VA SEA by science graduate students.
The VA SEA Project is currently supported by the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Virginia Sea Grant, and the VIMS Marine Advisory Program.
Day one of The Women's Museum's summer camp Adventures in Science. The Adventures in Science summer enrichment camp is geared towards young girls throughout the Dallas Metroplex ages 11-16. The Museum’s goal is to provide a week long science enrichment [science, technology, engineering, math, etc.] program for girls that will expose them to various science related career fields and exciting experiments and science projects

We did a workshop with the Ceramic Store for Klein ISD art teachers using AMACO's Whimsical Fish and Figures lesson plan. The teachers created great pieces!!
This really was the first real lesson I ever prepared! It was on something to do German Unification or the 1st World War. Not really relevant to my South African charges.
While waiting for my students to arrive, I amused myself by photographing the lesson plan.
Preparing the lesson plan and handouts is why there wasn't a more exciting photo for today!

At school, a close view of my 3 of my daily essentials: my lesson plan book, a pencil and my camera case (one of the hundreds of things I've crocheted)... : )
