OMG! Just found the most WONDERFUL book for my proposed "Developing 21st Century Literacies: Integrating Visual and Verbal" class.  CHECK IT OUT!!!  I'm putting it on the required texts list right now!! http://www.mollybang.com/Pages/picture.html

Here is even a teaching PowerPoint to go with it!  I haven't looked at the entire PowerPoint, but the first few slides are from the book. BEST DAY EVER!!!

Shout out to Fibers friend Penny Burton for locating a site and an artist who meshes BEAUTIFULLY with my Econolgy unit! Nancy Judd is her name.  She is an artist/environmental educator and creates fashions from trash like recycled lseat covers from airlines and as shown above, CRIME TAPE!  (What does the material say about the dress?? ) Check out her work at http://recyclerunway.com/fashions/  This would be an AWESOME art making activity for kids, too. The fashions are said to last at least 100 years!

Great new VTS find!

I'm always on the lookout for great VTS images and had to share these!

May have to use the first one with the BWC next year!
