This week's essay features #ttrpg illustrator @sifsweetman.bsky.social on subsurface scattering, collaborating with nature, and overcoming creative blocks.

(Of course I tied it to dependent origination and mutual aid.)

Come see with all your eyes.

Hearing from @neuranne.bsky.social at @sxswedu.com right now

She's asking, "How might we value curiosity over certainty in schools?"

I'm 20000% onboard and trying to push out the gatekeepers from the back of my head who demand certainty to measure success

Love this! Similar to Creating intentional color palettes that reflect the themes, techniques, structures evident in a given poem?

My #edusky friends — fostering this sort of engagement w learners is a good thing! Fanart and fanfic are beautiful pathways to critical thinking and #criticalcreativity

The hitch seems to be getting learners to make the shift into other writing - made easier by building trust thru embracing joy
Thinking about fond Christmas memories and really most of them involve playing a lot of video games without interruption & drawing fanart.

Used #Canva today to design a new #criticalcreativity mini-design challenge for understanding like terms in math.

Learners have to design a car lot for their new dealership on the land they inherited from their uncle. Use computational thinking to sort em

Today’s journaling energy: foxy, moon phases, books, truth, new beginnings, snake magic. It’s a bit simpler and less ‘cluttery cozy’ as most of my pages but I like it and I’m afraid I’ll ruin it. 😂

(magazine images, stickers, cut bookmark, papers, washi tapes)

Add a little #criticalcreativity to your process in the early going and you’ll find making it “good” a lot easier down the road — and more satisfying as well

Been working w MS/HS math seminar to better visualize some bedrock computational thinking knowledge and terminology

Worked up this #criticalcreativity activity/formative assessment for learners to interpret emojis as math expressions and vice versa

Visualizing computational thinking via entrepreneurial thinking and deeper thinking.

Created this Canva template to help MS/HS math learners and rocked the bit.ly/In10tion color scheme, too.

Last year, I released a one-page #ttrpg.

Players draw challenging childhood experiences. They then write a response to their "younger self" as their present-day self.

Today, another player called it "fun and cathartic."

Play isn't a game, but that's a win for me.
