Less is More: Making Your Presentations Zen-tastic!
Cross posted on Always Learning Waaay back in September, I read the book Presentation Zen, thanks to Jeff (who insisted I read it before designing my presentations for Learning 2.008).

Cross posted on Always Learning One of my favorite projects of the year is beginning soon! The 1001 Flat World Tales project was initiated by Clay Burell in Korea over three years ago and has been going strong ever since. I first started working on this project at the middle school level, but this will [...]

Amazingly, within just a few days dozens [...]
