Write your name in graffiti

Thomas Adam Johnson‘s insight:

A fun way to see what different styles of graffiti look like with whatever you want to write.  Useful to break apart graffiti style for artists as well.

See on Scoop.ittech | design | education

Thomas Adam Johnson‘s insight:

Things that this article says we should know as teachers: 

prior learningethnicity/culture (Ko wai? No hea? – Who are you? Where are you from? eg. hapu/iwi/country of origin)?linguistic background/languages spoken?interests/hobbies/community involvement?aspirations/goals (both student and whanau/community)?skills, knowledge (including prior cultural knowledge) and understandings?expected levels of progress in your learning area

I agree.  I also like the ideas presented for how students can tell teachers and colleagues about their passions and prior knowledge.

Thomas Adam Johnson‘s insight:
