Dan Meyer on math education

I watched this talk last year and instantly got absorbed into what he was saying about match education and the problems with it.  I love this talk.

I finally emailed him today to thank him for this talk and he teaching work.  It really inspires me to get moving on the educational comic idea I've been brewing, but I don't know where to start!!

APE and inspiration

I went to the Alternative Press Expo of 2010 and it was great!  So many talented artists this year!


I got 2 prints.  One called "Cat Tetris" (I forget the artist, but I'll find his name) and another by Britney Lee.

I really love all of Britney's stuff, but Michael said this one reminded him of me, so I had to have it.  I find her work really inspiring (see more at her blog and her etsy site).  I would love to progress to her level with the way she uses colors, shapes and the way she tells stories using one single frames in time.
