… and it was an awesome experience!<\/p>\n

The event was\u00a0TEDxUFM<\/a>\u00a0at the Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala City. The theme was to explore education and the new culture of learning, especially as it involves play, questioning, and imagination. I am over-the-moon thrilled that I had the opportunity to participate in a TEDx event, especially this one, as the topic is close to my heart. The organizers and staff who put on TEDxUFM 2012 did a fantastic job — just look at\u00a0this year’s lineup<\/a>\u00a0of speakers!<\/p>\n

It was an honor to be speaking alongside USC’s\u00a0Douglas Thomas<\/a>\u00a0(co-author of\u00a0A New Culture of Learning<\/em>) and Khan Academy developer\u00a0David Hu<\/a>, as well as the spectacular group of\u00a0speakers and performers\u00a0from Guatemala.<\/p>\n

My visual notes of Doug Thomas’ TED talk, TEDxUFM, August 19 2012<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

More of my visual notes are coming soon to Flickr… I have to finish them! Following my own advice, I got the key points down and left spaces for embellishments to be added later. TED talks go by fast, and almost all the points are key!<\/p>\n

My talk,\u00a0Drawing in Class<\/em>, explored visual note taking — particularly the role of personal visual note taking for students. The video will be up in four to six weeks, but here is the full slide set (with notes), posted on Slideshare:<\/p>\n
