Digital Projector

Being in technology, I sometimes fall for the latest trend or newest thing. Most of the time that is not a bad thing. Every now and then it is nice for a post to remind me of the KISS philosophy.

KEEP
IT
SIMPLE
STUPID.

dy/dan Wrote one of those posts.

Instead of using his digital projector to make a flashy powerpoint, he treated it like a old time slide projector. The results, "45 minutes running computations, discussing the results, arguing over the significance of the results — all from three photos."

I want to throw in the next quote, just because I liked it.

"No wipes, checkerboards, animations, or other PowerPoint detritus. This is the 21^st-century digital projector bashed back into the 20^th century."

Teaching and Learning in the Conceptual Age

Every year our district holds a New Teacher Orientation. This year we were given 2 hours to talk to these teachers! I was so excited - this was a great opportunity and we had so much fun doing the presentation for our new elementary teachers. The presentation we created, Teaching and Learning in the Conceptual Age, is now posted to SlideShare.
View and download the presentation here!

During the second hour we explored project ideas and resources. These are available on our wiki.
