Rebranding Teachers

A design studio has created some new visuals to depict teaching.  Pretty cool, I think.  You can download some of it for your own use.

“Teachers are currently represented by uninspiring, childish visual imagery. Images like apples, chalkboards, and the ABCs neither revere the profession of teaching nor do justice to the intellectual and creative development teachers help guide in students of all ages.

WNYC’s Studio 360 asked us to create a new visual vocabulary that reflects the multidimensional role of the teacher. Listen to our interview with Kurt Andersen on Studio 360 and check out our full presentation.”

Pinterest

  I know some of you are using Pinterest for your personal use.  I think it has some fun use for students, as well, as a way to find and collect material on a topic you’re studying in class.  It is invite-only, but supposedly it’s not hard to get the invite.

If you took a look at the presentation I did for the FWISD tech conference, there were some examples given on using Pinterest with students.
