Learning by Doing: Think*Make*Improve

I’ve been playing with a new graphics tool – easel.ly – and this is my first effort.

I took the slogan Think*Make*Improve from Sylvia Libow Martinez and Gary S. Stager’s invaluable new book Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom.

The result is a bit of a pig’s breakfast and probably runs counter to every principle of good design. But…you have to start somewhere!

It was fun collecting various bits of clip art and trying to find ways to represent  both the simplicy of the TMI formula and the complexity of possibility.
