This is an intriguing ‘campaign’ that the Connected Learning Alliance has up and running. Combining podcast interviews with graphics and art capturing the spirit and ideas of Connected Learning, this project by the alliance is a nice way to dive into ideas. Check out the Making Learning Relevant project. I’m taking some pieces for a […]

Webmaker and Me
I tinkered around with the A Little About Me page via Webmaker this week. I like it as a simple introduction to remixing with Thimble. (Mostly text, not too much media).You can feel free to remix the page, too, and create your own. A bunch of folks were doing it as part of the Teach […]
Making a #CLMOOC Zine
Once again, my friend Chad Sansing has created a cool remixable project via Webmaker that I just had to check out and remix myself. Chad made a ‘zine template with Thimble, which you can adapt for your own area of interest, print out, fold up and hand out to friends. How cool is that? I […]
The Wonder of People (A Sound Poem)
The last “Wonder of the World” poem for this month is the theme of “people.” Most days, I did not peek ahead to the themes coming up each day, and waited for Mary Lee Hahn to share her poem and inform us of the key word at A Year of Reading. But one day last […]
Blackout Poetry Interactive
Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo, who guided me to the New York Times poetry interactive that allows you to create “blackout poems” from news articles right at the site, and then allows you to save and share them, too. I love this idea of “found ” poems, and am thinking of how to get my students […]

Here, the philosophy of the “open, remixable web” comes to fruition with a series of projects and tools that invite you to remix and remake in your own light, with tutorials on coding and […]
Wonder Poem Interactive: A Drink from the Mouth of the Well
One thing I have been intrigued about when it comes to doing some research on the topics for the Wonders of the World poems are the translation of names of places on the list that Mary Lee has pulled together. So, this morning, when I was learning about Chichen Itza, the Mayan city, I was […]
Web Literacy Pathways Resource (from Mozilla)
This is an amazing resource about Web Literacy ideas. Click on a skill and see a pathway forward towards new skills that connect back to the original inquiry. (nicely done, Laura Hilliger and other folks at Mozilla). Plus, the whole resource is remixable, so you could revise it for your own audience and purpose. (Thanks […]
Animated Acrostic: Minaret
For today’s Wonder Poem about the Hagia Sophia Mosque in Turkey, I chose an animated acrostic, using a Mozilla Thimble template designed by some National Writing Project friends that makes kinetic text poems. I was looking for a way for text to drop out, leaving only the main word in the margins. I think it […]
