Powerful Ideas - Powerful Visuals

There are times on Twitter where I have come across a really great idea and I get motivated to take that idea and pair it with a great visual to share with others.  I thought I would use this post to share the collection of my favourites.  Besides being on Twitter, I have these on my wall in my office, the LFD tvs at the school and up on old school bulletin boards.

I made these images with @canva.  A great tech tool canva.com.

You can find these images on twitter, @vptechnodork.  Share away.

Be Great because...You are Great.  My great tweep @gregbagby as this as part of his Twitter profile.

My kids inspired this, when things weren't going so well for me one day they said this line.  

Yeah we all get the Sunday night nerves.  Admitting it is half the battle.  Are students get these nerves as well.  Just a reminder that the WE can handle it. Bring the AWESOME!

We are developing staff and student understanding of Growth Mindset.  I read an article about Canada's World Junior loss last year and the goalie had this great line about dealing with failure.  Even funnier, my son's own hockey team is not doing so hot this year.  My son read this and said, "wow dad, my team has learned a lot this year!"

This was simply my one word for this year.  Resilience. Our students and staff need more of this.  

When are students want to pack it in when the learning pushes them past their comfort zone. 

Just developing our understanding for the benefits of failure. 

#edtech is not the solution to improving education.  Yeah I said it. 

The benefits of Twitter.  U can also check out the evolution of this image from a storify I put together.  Value of Twitter on Storify

My message on creation vs content. 

From @rmbyrne keynote at #BIT2014

My perspective on having students look up content. 

My view on social media. 

How I work, how I lead.  

Technology is only powerful if we use it with a purpose. 

Reliability of information.  Expression found on a t-shirt. 

We need to change teaching. 

That's it, that's all for now.  Find me @vptechnodork and full sized images are there.  Share away.
