Pinterest caught my eye in October of last year and it had me so excited about collecting images for personal and professional work. I thought it would be the perfect way for my art students to maintain and […]

Interesting questions…
I’m curious as to why these are on your mind.To me morale as defined above is an integral part of how a school functions. It helps define the culture and relationships – […]

Initially I struggled with developing an idea for my Course 5 project. It seemed that every idea rested squarely in the Substitution/Augmentation levels of technology use as defined in Transformation, Technology, […] -

I’m usually standing with arms open at the sight of weeded books. In the past I’ve used them as starters for sketchbooks with my students. Sometimes a blank page can be intimidating so starting with a […] -

It was 1988. As I peered out of the dingy bus window I saw him, the hot new high school guy. I didn’t know his name or story, but I knew he was fond of INXS. He wore a shirt emblazoned with “Kick”, their latest […]

When I was 38 weeks pregnant with our son I saw the documentary Consuming Kids, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maeXjey_FGA. It opened my eyes not only to the lengths companies go to to market to kids, but also […]

I love this saying and agree that it applies so well to this new, connected age in which we are living. Case in point – I’ve recently joined Pinterest. The ability to share visuals and ideas has […] -
Trista commented on the blog post A bowl of Photo Peaches 1 year, 5 months ago
Natalie, You aren’t alone. The technical issues involved with working with photos done by students can quickly turn a great idea into a disaster (been there). It may seem simple enough when you do it on your own, but add photos from 20 students and soon there are issues with storage space, labeling, tagging, accessing, [...]

Trista wrote a new blog post: Casting It Out There 1 year, 5 months ago
I first realized creating screencasts might be in my immediate future when we had our extended October/flood break. The Digital Photography course I teach had started just a couple weeks before and there were so many logistical protocol issues that we hadn’t quite worked out. Students were uploading their photos to Flickr and writing blog [...]

Bel – What a great idea for an infographic! At the education fairs it’s always easy to tell which school’s marketing department has it together through their set-up and materials. This would be a good way to catch people’s eye as they are walking around when they want a quick peek at what Berkeley is [...]

Trista commented on the blog post Dear Presenter… 1 year, 5 months ago
Ivan and Paige, I agree that there is a difference in a presentation and the day-to-day content in a class one is teaching. Perhaps the lesson that can be learned is that visuals are the key. Rather than focusing only on the content, teachers can consider where infographics (visually in scale of course, Ivan) and [...]

Trista wrote a new blog post: The Sgt. Pepper Sprayer Story 1 year, 5 months ago
The crux of Course 3 has been about the message – how to best use design and technology to get the message across. It’s also been about gaining awareness of how the message reflects the values of the people sending it and how advertising and media can skew the message in one way or another. The [...] -
Trista commented on the blog post Bangkok floods 2011 : a reflection on school crisis management 1 year, 6 months ago
I found the lack of clear information to be frustrating as well. I can’t imagine trying to base decisions on the misinformation that was being thrown around over the past several weeks. I’m curious to hear how your school dealt with the mandated closing and how everything was communicated to your school community. As a [...]

It wasn’t surprising to discover that Garr Reynolds lives in Japan. The principles he established for Presentation Zen reflect the simple, subtle, and practical, yet engaging and complex characteristics of traditional Japanese aesthetics. I also wasn’t surprised when further digging in the Presentation Zen website lead to articles relating…[Read more] -
Trista commented on the blog post Create a title or caption for this photo 1 year, 6 months ago
What a great image! It’s sure to grab students’ attention and lead to an interesting discussion on media and validity. I’m curious to know how your students went about getting information and what their perceptions are about the information they received throughout this whole ordeal. I found that updates on FB, Twitter #thaifloodeng and Thaivisa [...]
