Picturing to Learn actively engages students in creating visual explanations. To go beyond viewing and analyzing images made by others, Picturing to Learn emphasizes:
* Making visual representations to increase understanding of science and engineering concepts
* How visual communication can improve information exchange between disciplines
* The importance of communicating science to the public for the next generation of researchers
* A new approach for teachers to evaluate students' comprehension of various principles
Here lies a temporary fix to my blogging woes. I'm continuing my blog here until I patch up some PHP and complete the concept and code for a refurbished Nerd Elite.com.
