Learning On The Job

This post continues my reflection for my work on the K12 Learning 2.0 workshop. This post is a reflective post about an item of interest in my feed reader.

I know this course is about education – and the edublogosphere – but one of the greatest things about RSS is it allows me to get up-to-date news and current events. One of the best resources I’ve found, both for my own personal interest and for use in the classroom, is the The Big Picture.

Alan Taylor canvasses the wires to find pictures of interest. His most recent entry commemorates the 20th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square.

The whole blog screams “visual literacy” and I have seen entries related to math, science, history, geography and probably every other subject imaginable.
