Wow I found this as I was browsing the net. It’s a neat representation of various methods of displaying information in a graphical format.

A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods.

I have used a few of these methods before and found them to be of varying degrees of usefulness. The one that I use most of all is mindmapping. I have used it to plan teaching, projects, etc even planning how to tackle a report for work or my dissertation.

I’m gonna take a look at some of these other methods and see if any of them are of as much use as mindmapping.

Interesting Websites

This is really just a parking space for me to leave URLs that I want to explore more fully at a later date. If any of them are any good I will write more about them in a new post

Just been for a look at my brother in-law’s blog Narked Jawa, take a look for yourself, it made me laugh.

I particularly liked the mixed tape adventure and am considering giving it a go myself (once I get enough regular followers to the blog).

Anyway my brother in-law is a sound guy and his blog is developing, so get over there and give him some encouragement, ooh whilst your at it give me some as well

Teaching in Second Life

Second Life

I was watching an article on TeachersTV the other day and they were teaching through the medium of secondlife.

This got me thinking, I wonder if this style of teaching could be usefully employed in my practise. Wtih this in mind I’m gonna have a root around and see what I find.

Found this Wiki on the subject so I will start there and then edit this post as I find out more. Second Life Education Wiki - SimTeach.
