OK, I’m going to wade back into the debate on Comic Sans but I’ll put the blame squarely on my pal, Theresa Paltzat’s shoulders since she shared this site with me. Someone once pointed out that the only appropriate use of Comic Sans as a font is if you are an eight year old girl writing poems about unicorns. I am in that camp and do not use the font. So I enjoyed this quick presentation on why font choice in a piece is so important – and it’s a good one to share with your students as they learn about design.

Thinking of Using Dropbox?
One way you can help me out is to use my link to sign up for DropBox. If you sign up from here by clicking the link above, the bonus for me is that I get a bit more space to use in my work. And I'm eternally grateful for the boost! -Pete

Belize Literacy Program
In November 2012, members of the Belize Ministry of Education, principals, and lead teachers met in each of the six districts for two days of conversations and discussions around the challenges and next steps in integrating technology to support teaching and learning in Belize. The sessions highlighted global trends and challenges from the K-12 Horizon Report, the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for students, teachers, and administrators, as well as an overview of the content from the August 2012 technology workshop for teachers.
