We've begun to hear alot more interest from faculty on how to incorporate visuals into their teaching process. This is our first attempt at one of the "lunch & learn" sessions we provided to FHS. It went over amazingly well, although we really crammed alot into 1.5 hours! Check out the instructional designers reflection blogs.sfu.ca/departments/fhs-teaching/
We did this exercise where we had to envision our classroom. Thanks to the Visual Thinking School, I decided that I could do a series of quick-sketches to imagine what it was that could be going on in my classroom. Maybe it will make sense to you, and maybe it won't. But it made more sense to me than anything I'd ever written about my classroom, so I regard that as a positive.
We are bursting with new ideas, but we don't get much accomplished. Either there's too many ideas, or we have too many cooks in the kitchen.
I'm using this one pager as an educational resource for some of my visual communications workshops. Mostly it's a synthesis of work I did at Nancy and Michelle's Graph-Viz workshop, the harvest of which I previously shared as a prezi.
Several people at XPLANE are participating in an ongoing experiment in using index cards and other paper products to enhance communication and productivity.
Here's a look at Diana's productivity pack.

This drawing was dictated to me by my niece and nephew who asked me to draw various stuff yesterday. "Draw a dog!" "A pig!" "A helicopter!" Good fun.
These drawings were influenced by Ed Emberley's techniques in his terrific drawing book "Make a World."

From Deborah:
It was an honor to do Interpretive Touch Drawing at Seeds of Compassion.
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Images are created through
the touch of fingertips on paper. The process allows for direct expression
of the soul, and can be used for deep therapeutic and spiritual purposes.
In the conference setting, I use Touch Drawing to visually portray the
content and energetic qualities of the lectures and musical performances.
Through the immediacy of the process, I can create 7- 8 drawings per hour.
These drawing were created during the Tuesday event; 'Inspiring Compassion
in Our Youth; Youth and Spiritual Connection Dialogue'. If you attended the
day or are watching it online, you can use these images to enhance the
feeling-tone of the presentations. Think of them as notes from the soul.
All these images will be posted soon on the CONFERENCE ART page at
www.touchdrawing.com. Go there if you would like to order a signed, archival
fine art print. Contact center@touchdrawing.com if you are interested in
purchasing an original or receiving permission to reproduce an image.
Drawings can be enhanced with color. A percentage of any income generated by
these images will be donated to support the ongoing work of Seeds of
Compassion.
