Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.12:41 PMHappy to be here! Yes, flatlessness.comflatlessness.tumblr.com
Sheri Edwards12:41 PM http://flatlessness.tumblr.com/
TERRY ELLIOTT12:44 PM Irony of unflattening (3d) into a 2d space--the comic panel?yeah, this is my key takeaway,too,
Kevin Hodgson12:46 PM Will 3d comics ever transform the comic? Or are they too limiting?
Sheri Edwards12:47 PM Little boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.... Pete Seeger
TERRY ELLIOTT12:47 PM valorization of the text
Kevin Hodgson12:47 PM That image of the classroom still lingers in my mind months after reading it
Sheri Edwards12:48 PM I see a cat Susan in the black background one
TERRY ELLIOTT12:48 P Many stance is a distorted stance? yes.
Susan Watson12:48 PM hmmm
Kevin Hodgson12:48 PM Love this image
Susan Watson12:48 PM yes Terry
Kevin Hodgson12:48 PM and of course, the dog ...
TERRY ELLIOTT12:48 PM yes, what are we missing, blindspots.
Sheri Edwards12:49 PM "any stance leaves things out" how can we make "more" more visible
Scott Glass12:49 PM We forget what is upwards. Yes. We forget to be active observers of our world. #clmooc
TERRY ELLIOTT12:49 PM reminds me of THWhite's Once and Future King where Merlin becomes a hawk
Scott Glass12:50 PM Doing something because you like doing it. Revolutionary.
Kevin Hodgson12:50 PM "amphibious writing" -- neat term
Sheri Edwards12:51 PM no longer seeing seems head-on, see from the sides
TERRY ELLIOTT12:51 PM I have always felt that if we were cephalopods we would never say on the one hand and the other hand. No binaries for squids.
Scott Glass12:51 PM Love McCleod's book.
Susan Watson12:52 PM butterflies see so many colors that we don't know even exist
Kevin Hodgson12:52 PM revolutionary book ... recently passed it along to my high school son ... along with Nick's book ... I might need it back, kid
TERRY ELLIOTT12:52 PM Have a powerful desire to annotate
Susan Watson12:52 PM Terry not surprised word for "urge to annotate"
Sheri Edwards12:53 PM aha.simultaneous recognition
Kevin Hodgson12:53 PM Sequence and Simultaneous ...Cool
TERRY ELLIOTT12:54 PM You really need to slow down to read this way.
Kevin Hodgson12:54 PM brilliant
TERRY ELLIOTT12:54 PM meta ladder the word for varied route--snookering about
Scott Glass12:55 PM Reminds of the great book Mapping Manhattan. Definitely worth checking out.
me12:55 PM visual creating a steady beat love it
Sheri Edwards12:57 PM the way thoughts unfold - really
Kevin Hodgson12:57 PM love this! Someone say, play?
TERRY ELLIOTT12:57 PM fabulous use of notes and sketching that make this a powerful combo
Scott Glass12:58 PM Love seeing artist's processes.
Susan Watson12:58 PM so awesome to hear directly from Nick
Sheri Edwards12:58 PM I'd like to hear from Amanda's work also
TERRY ELLIOTT1:00 PM I think the word is 'curator'
Scott Glass1:00 PM Where does the work come from. Yes. Fascinated by this. Has led me to focus so much more on process in Humanities.
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:01 PM Happy to share!
Scott Glass1:03 PM What does it mean to be an artist. I view Terry as an artist.
Susan Watson1:03 PM definitely
me1:03 PM So do I.
Sheri Edwards1:04 PM yes
Kevin Hodgson1:04 PM I struggle with loss of agency when I use other sites as my frame ...
me1:04 PM Can we do comics sans comics?
Kevin Hodgson1:04 PM :0
Susan Watson1:04 PM the answer has to be yes
Sheri Edwards1:04 PM sometimes other sites help us have a frame 
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:05 PM The thinking is in the making. Yes!
Kevin Hodgson1:05 PM if comics are a visual medium, if we sites that have built-in art, are we missing out on what comics are really about? Maybe. But they are a starting point.
Scott Glass1:06 PM Could also turn it around. The making is in the thinking.
TERRY ELLIOTT1:06 PM Molly Bangs Picture This
Susan Watson1:06 PM define "what comics are all about"
me1:06 PM Yes, Scott.
Sheri Edwards1:06 PM in teaching writing, we use media, and sometimes others don't understand media is writing [and reading]. the process -- thinking it through and making choices--is the journey of writing
Kevin Hodgson1:06 PM Molly Bangs: http://www.amazon.com/Picture-This-How-Pictures-Work/dp/1587170302
Scott Glass1:07 PM Right on, Sheri. I have my kids do a lot of paper and glue creating. Push them to use silhouettes and templates. No drawing necessary.
Susan Watson1:08 PM analyzing visual media is in our curriculum
me1:08 PM freewriting, ah the 70s
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:08 PM Syllabus is outstanding! Such a great read for educators! It changed my approach to one of my classes.
Sheri Edwards1:08 PM awesome susan what was the author's name?
Kevin Hodgson1:08 PM One positive element of Common Core is the further inclusion of visual media and production
Sheri Edwards1:08 PM syllabus?
Scott Glass1:09 PM Good question, Susan.
Susan Watson1:09 PM thanks 
me1:09 PM I think he just said successable
Sheri Edwards1:09 PM That's what I've been rethinking and Terry, I'm doing it without permission 
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:09 PM https://www.drawnandquarterly.com/syllabus
Susan Watson1:09 PM yes he did
Kevin Hodgson1:09 PM Thanks, Amanda
me1:09 PM I think that is a new thing...accessible makes us successable...these days...
Susan Watson1:10 PM I am really curious about the whole concept
Sheri Edwards1:10 PM yes thanks Amanda
TERRY ELLIOTT1:10 PM I love this idea of lots of iterations in smaller projects that lead to larger projects.
Scott Glass1:11 PM Great answer to social media question. Model of how to use social media for professional, creative purposes. What my kids/students need help with.
Susan Watson1:11 PM everything used to be about ownership and control
TERRY ELLIOTT1:11 PM yeah, Nick, you have opened up a lot of adjacent possibles.Many thanks.
Sheri Edwards1:12 PM Yes, Terry -- that works well in middle school -- smaller builds to larger -- based on what students find important
Susan Watson1:13 PM interesting how many middle school teachers ended up here
Scott Glass1:13 PM Sheri, I think that works well at every level.
TERRY ELLIOTT1:13 PM Sheri and if we could add a collab element, well...
Sheri Edwards1:13 PM Yup to Scott and Terry
Susan Watson1:13 PM would love that
Susan Watson1:14 PM I gave my copy to someone at school and had to beg for it back
TERRY ELLIOTT1:15 PM also check out Steve Berg's Portal: http://www.hastac.org/blogs/steven-l-berg/2015/05/07/teachingreading-nick-sousanis-unflattening
nick sousanis1:15 PM Lynda Barry, "syllabus," "picture this", "what it is"Molly Bang - "picture this"
Sheri Edwards1:16 PM Thanks Nick
Susan Watson1:17 PM multimedia multimodal responses
me1:17 PM systems of connection Nick, looking at the time, want to get us started on an exercise that we can finish up later?
Scott Glass1:18 PM I love this. All the ways to think, reflect, respond, and communicate.
me1:18 PM a making response to reading
Kevin Hodgson1:19 PM Sounds like what we were doing in Rhizo15 with the book, too. Interesting the response that readers get
me1:19 PM yes...maybe the two can be shared?
Susan Watson1:19 PM ongoing
TERRY ELLIOTT1:19 PM Some books are evocations, Nick's is a provocation.
Susan Watson1:20 PM indeed
TERRY ELLIOTT1:20 PM Let's play
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:20 PM Woo hoo!
me1:22 PM another issue of comics machines, Terry no space to play with frame
TERRY ELLIOTT1:23 PM Anna limiting but not deadly
me1:23 PM yes

nick sousanis1:34 PM good word
me1:35 PM and there's the rooster!
Kevin Hodgson1:36 PM or jaws ...
nick sousanis1:36 PM rooster!
Susan Watson1:36 PM roooooster
Monica Multer joined group chat.
TERRY ELLIOTT1:37 PM farming is damned jagged sometimes
me1:37 PM Do you have a drawing to share?
Monica Multer1:38 PM Mine turned out to be less of a comic and more stress relieverbrb
Kevin Hodgson1:39 PM like a present not yet unwrapped: make cycle 5
nick sousanis1:41 PM hold yours up Monica!
me1:41 PM process notes
Scott Glass1:41 PM Absolutely, Kevin. Same for my 11th and 12th graders. Have learned the game.
nick sousanis1:41 PM holy smokes!
Scott Glass1:42 PM Very cool, Monica
Monica Multer1:42 PM not really a comic but a process of running in circles
Sheri Edwards1:43 PM the pendulum is in the boxes and will now swing back to play
nick sousanis1:44 PM yay, sheri!
me1:44 PM grab on it, Sheri! Hold it there!
nick sousanis1:44 PM and Monica - that's cool, it doesn't have to be a comic - it has to work for your thinking...
TERRY ELLIOTT1:44 PM just tell me how to get an A
Kevin Hodgson1:44 PM 100 mookles
TERRY ELLIOTT1:44 PM big prob of strategic student
Sheri Edwards1:45 PM my students don't care about grades, so learning in the process is much better for them [not for the testers]
Monica Multer1:45 PM Thanks Nick!
me1:45 PM It is a terrible thing that has been taught in school.
me1:46 PM maybe some mapping and unflattening of learning in space(for me...inspired by what you were saying, Susan)
Kevin Hodgson1:46 PM somewhere unexpected...
nick sousanis1:46 PM led to unexpected places!that's what it should be...
Sheri Edwards1:47 PM yup. adjecent possible -- knowing it will go yest unexpected
Susan Watson1:47 PM it is a lie
nick sousanis1:47 PM overscaffold...
me1:47 PM when we pour in cement in the scaffolding
Monica Multer1:47 PM yeah for me I have spent a lot of time over the last couple of years unlearning what I was taught in order to relearn how I learn and express and create.So the unlearning is akin to unflattening to me
me1:47 PM and glue it to the building walls
Kevin Hodgson1:48 PM @monica -- origami unlearning
Kevin Hodgson1:49 PM magical mystery tours ...
Amanda O. Latz, Ed.D.1:49 PM Love it, Nick!
TERRY ELLIOTT1:49 PM Yeah well I m not a teacher either they pay me to learn

me1:50 PM nice, terry these are things I didn't know about Monica am so glad she jumped in!You jumped inOnly talking about you in the third person because you're busy...
Kevin Hodgson1:51 PM How many others in the world could find resonance in her (our) story? More than we think ...
nick sousanis1:51 PM all wonderfully said, Monica!
TERRY ELLIOTT1:51 PM Monica, glad you are rising up from the flattened landscape
Scott Glass1:51 PM Right on, Terry. It's what I tell the students. I'm here to learn, so lets get working.
Susan Watson1:51 PM nice to have your perspective Monica.
TERRY ELLIOTT1:53 PM Rudolph Stirner called these preconceptions and learned schemas about purple elephants as wheels in the head, not good
Scott Glass1:54 PM Sounds like the English class equivalent of the 5 paragraph essay. Lord, deliver me.
TERRY ELLIOTT1:54 PM Best evah

I used a new app that I hadn't explored yet (Sketches Pro) since many sketch-noters are using iPads to create detailed graphics and images. This task and tool will extend my creativity for some time
