iGeneration ideas & Video

I would like to spend more time with the ideas presented in Chapter Three "Telling Powerful Visual Stories."  We've had seen some wonderful animated projects that kids make in Keynote, but I've seen some cartooning sites that I would like to pursue.  I want to look into Make Believe Comix, Bitstrip, and possibly Pixton.  The idea presented in the PBS video - to create an allegory, really intrigues me.  What a fabulous way to demonstrate understanding.


The video I chose that expresses an idea about the future of education is not from YouTube, but from Ted Talks.  I already shared this video with Cathy, Alice, and Mike, but also with my students on the last day of school.  I told my kids that this was what I thought their education would look like as they got older.  They'll be working with people, they may never meet face to face or even sit with in the same room to produce a final product.  They were amazed once they saw the final piece!
