It’s become so ubiquitous that it’s become a parody of itself and is often used ironically or in satirical versions of these somewhat-esteemed genres. And it’s a tag-line … Continue reading “The Worst of All Possible Worlds – ISTE Coaching Standard 3 and the Dystopian Future of Education?”

Infographics In my own classroom, the use of infographics has been a valuable tool to teach not only visual literacy, but graphic design.
