I really enjoyed listening to expert trend analyst John Zogby define and describe generations and how understanding of them relates to leadership in schools (and elsewhere). I knew I took notes during his talk and happily discovered that i had recorded them too. So here is a time-lapse sketch note from his talk at the SAIS Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA.

I just finished exploring all of the wonderful ideas share by Barbara Rucci and Betsy McKenna in their new book, Art Workshop for Children (Quarry, 2016). As a parent of three young children, my mind immediately raced to all of the possibilities and things I want to start doing TODAY at home with them. With practical ideas, thoughtfully written guidance, and beautiful color photographs, this book is a true inspiration for anyone who wants to foster the innate creativity of young people. I created a sketch note as I was going through each and every idea over the past week since I received the book (process art!). I highly recommend this book!

I learned today that I can use Apple Configurator 2 to create a custom profile to install non-standard iOS fonts on my iPad. I installed the font I created a few months ago (reshanHeader.ttf) using MyScriptFont.com, recorded with EE, and created the video below. The only draw back is that unless a person I share the project with has the same font, they won't be able to use the custom font (it will default to Helvetica). But, exported content (Video, PDF, Image) all looks great!

I've apparently increased my Polish fluency by 5%.

We recently recorded content for our Global Online Academy course (which is at capacity) while eating Ramen. We find that it's good to mix up time and place for meeting and thinking.
