A Google image search on terms like “political memes” or “election memes” provides a reading experience markedly different than opening the morning paper. This instant, biased collage of pictures is the most complex of digital footprints, still new to even the most web literate among us. Political memes show participatory culture’s take on political news and the evolving process of electing a president. According to Merriam Webster, a “meme” is “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture” Often these are images or videos that are overlayed with interpretive text and are spread… Read more »

Use the Grid Art method to help your students study the geography of whatever area of the world you are studying. Great for students who need help following directions, with dexterity skills, and visual learners. I used this to help my students study the 7 continents and oceans, but it can be adapted for pretty much anything. You can make the grids ahead of time, or challenge your students to make the choose their own images and make the grids themselves (a great math exercise as well) .

If you have ever dog-eared a book or used your highlighter (or highlighter app) to remember a quote of substance, then consider making a Wall of Quotes with other collaborators. One of the easiest sites to do this with is Padlet, which creates a virtual wall that anyone can add to. It allows for writing, images, and any other media you can upload or share via link.

Make a postcard! This idea was inspired by CLMOOC, Sarah Honeychurch’s gifting project, this postcard thing, this one, and my love of writing letters. From all this, a group of us decided to a project to send each other handmade postcards. You can sign up to be a part of it here. There are no “rules.” You can send as many or as few as you like to whoever you like whenever you like. The topics are up to you. Here’s a lovely post that Kevin wrote about this project.

We are often asked to tell our stories according to someone else’s standards of what counts, but we are not necessarily asked about what matters to us, what we value, even if it can’t be measured. We are even usually asked to express ourselves in some semi-standardized format, like a Curriculum Vitae (CV) or résumé. What if we could write a CV that was based not on degrees and position and peer-reviewed publications, but on what we think is most important about who we are and what we are genuinely most proud to have accomplished? We know it’s not the first… Read more »

In this make that was a part of CLMOOC 2015, we invite you to get out of the house. That’s right. Power down that laptop, grab your sneakers or walking shoes, and head on out into the Great Outdoors and continue to explore the public spaces that surround you. You may need to bring a camera or mobile device with you, so we acknowledge that you might not be completely technologically untethered. This make is designed to encourage you to head outside to your local park, or greenway, or bike path, or museum, or library, or street corner, or wherever… Read more »

There are times when you might need to take part of one image and layer in another image. For the #rangerme meme project in the CLMOOC, we had a template where participants needed to layer in their own image to create themselves as honorary park rangers. Photoshop users can do this easily but many of us are not photoshopping experts. Another easier way to do this task is to use PicMonkey, a free online photo editing site. By uploading a template, and then using the erase/layer tool, you can easily place a second image on top of the first. PicMonkey… Read more »

Makey Makey is an electronic invention kit that lets users connect everyday objects to computer programs. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, the system uses closed loop electrical signals to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal. This function allows the Makey Makey to work with any computer program or web page that take input. In this example, students will work together to make a human presentation slider using a Makey Makey. (Image courtesy of Amber Case)
