Orders are dictated from above and rarely questioned, even when wrong or based on flawed assumptions.
As asked for the Gaia Journey session on "Facing the Void: Practicing Visual Presencing", I took my markers and paper. Here is what emerged from the session with Otto Scharmer and Antoinette Klatzky, and from the guided practice with Kelvy Bird.
Pupil drew diagram by hand rather than use the default Word Tool. Main purpose of the exercise is to encourage pupils to discover ways of organising notes.

My takeaways of this webinar on "Creating online participation in online meetings" are 1) online events where participation is expected require much more preparation than physical ones (ratio can be 90/10); and 2) it's important to leave room for silence. Indeed, in too many online events that I attended it was the race, and the time for reflection in silence almost zero. I discovered some new methods to improve participation (to be tested) and liked to hear that my beloved OPERA method is also a good one for online participation.

The "rules of thumb" for creating a space for generative conversations in blogs from the SXSW panel, "Us/Them: A blog conversation survival guide" (best seen in largest size). These are the ideas that the panelists started with and the audience expanded upon/added to. Collective thinking. Credit to everyone who was in the room.

This image shows three different phases of
the visual project management class I have developed. I teach it several times a year at the University of the Arts Masters of Industrial Design program. Students learn various visual frameworks for making sense of and taking action regarding the complex projects they work on with industry partners.
From left to right: 1) Me demonstrating one particular kind of diagram 2) Students practicing drawing icons with each other (and me) 3) Students communicating aspects of their projects with other students.
The Industrial Design grad students University of the Arts apply design thinking to complex organizational challenges with partners in the greater Philadelphia region.
I am working on a book and find this is a great way to organize my thoughts. I organize the post-it notes in clusters and draw lines and arrows to work out the categories and flow.
The whiteboard is pretty big (4x8feet), allowing plenty of room to move things around.
It helps me track and organize a lot of ideas into a cohesive composition.

Graphic recording from the IFVP Big Apple 2013 Conference:
Opening Keynote by Brandy Agerbeck: Visual at our core, Visionary to our core
Brandy Agerbeck, a noted graphic facilitator and author, has been visually
facilitating groups of 2 to 200 in a wide range of industries since 1996. In
2011, she published The Graphic Facilitator’s Guide: how to use your listening,
thinking and drawing skills to make meaning, which describes the three
Powers of graphic facilitation and shares 25 guiding principles of the work.
Brandy has also been a strong leader and supporter of the IFVP, organizing
many of the annual conferences, serving on the board, and advocating the
development and growth of the organization and of individuals in their practice.
We look forward to hearing Brandy “chunk down” her thoughts on visual
practice and offer practical ideas to improve our skills.

Like many, I am very inspired by Kathy Sierra's work in which she tries to figure out how to make her customers kick ass. I find that this focus on kicking ass is quite useful when trying to figure out whether to do something or not. If that something helps me kick ass (as a friend, relative, business person, etc), then I should do it. If not, I should not.
Everybody has a different set of criteria as to what kicking ass might be. Maybe it means being ethical, maybe it means being healthy, maybe it means trading your time for something that is really worthwhile. Whatever your criteria, I wish you the best in your ass kicking adventures.
(note: this was created using ArtRage, a wonderful program that Roy Blumenthal recommended to me. I feel like it's going to help me kick some ass out there)

Look at them go! Orange represents technology while blue represents cultural elements. Here you have six of ten students clearly and obviously engaged with the material being studied. They're on their feet, pointing and clicking as their brains engage. They spent the period arguing and drawing arrows and erasing them and moving Notes and arguing again. They weren't bolting for the door the moment the bell had the suggestion of a chance to ring the period's end.
And it's visual. And it's kinesthetic. And it's auditory. All at once. Wow. There is one kid who doesn't quite get it. I see the lamp burning in the back of his eyes, but it's not a huge flash yet. It's not a laser. Josh's point is well-taken. This doesn't do the hard work; it only generates the insight.

Every fall, first-years find themselves lost all over Stevenson Center, the complex of six (or is it seven?) connected science and engineering buildings at Vanderbilt. Last year, a team of undergrads led by Allanah Jackson set out to design better signage for Stevenson Center as part of a class project. The sign seen here is one of many new signs Allanah and her team were able to post in Stevenson to improve wayfinding. More info: cft.vanderbilt.edu/2013/10/from-a-students-view-solving-a...
This online world is ruled by the "Goddess of Small Annoyances." She is powerful, passionate, colorful, forward moving, but full of little things that trip you up. The one sock missing... She is forcing us into a new life. After millenia of hardwired communications patterns, we have been challenged to quickly develop NEW ones. To translate our offline learnings into this new space.
