Slides to support a workshop on visual thinking across the curriculum at the IntegratEd Conference. Portland, Oregon, February 2013.
Over 80% of our brains are used interpreting visuals. It seems a waste not to take advantage this powerful channel into the minds of our students. What sorts of ways can a single image be used to tell stories and explore complex ideas in Math, Science, Language Arts or Languages classrooms? What could we do with a series of pictures? How can we do this beyond the time and space of the classroom walls and have our students generate a bank of powerful visuals to inspire future students to create even more powerful learning imagery?
In this hands on session participants will mash up their ideas with powerful images, painlessly share them with the group and spend the lion’s share of our time together thinking deeply and discussing our shared vision for what real learning looks like in our classrooms. We’ll touch on ideas of ethical and responsible use of technology, creative commons and some thoughts about visual design.
Bring your camera enabled mobile device. We’re gonna use it. And show you how to take better pictures in the process.

8. Color Guard“When you fly the flag, like let’s say in a color guard, you place the American Flag to the far left, and all other flags to the right of it.” - United States Army Vietnam Veteran Specialist 4 Gilberto G. Celaya, Sr. Photo Courtesy of Sergeant Gonzalo X. Celaya, United States Marine Corps. http://www.defense.gov/home/images/photos/2005-01/photoessays/pi20050120a4.jpg
9. Color GuardThe flag should never be dipped to any person or thing, unless it is the ensign responding to a salute from a ship of a foreign nation. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/USMC_Color_Guard.jpg/250px-USMC_Color_Guard.jpg
10. DistressThe flag should never be displayed with the union (the starred blue union) down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.http://drkatesview.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/flagindistress.jpg
11. In MourningPlace the flag at half-staff (or half-mast, on ships), hoist it to the peak for an instant and lower it to a position half way between the top and bottom of the staff. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1lGFYYNkw_o/S-MX6PwDiAI/AAAAAAAAA3o/dzLduO3xitA/s1600/!!FlagHalfStaff.jpg
12. No OtherNo other flag should be placed above it. The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2053/2412189917_6df8cebb32.jpg
13. Colors At Night“It used to be that you had to take the flag down at night time. But now, if you fly the flag at night, you have to keep it illuminated throughout the night.” - United States Army Vietnam Veteran Specialist 4 Gilberto G. Celaya, Sr.http://www.ahrc.se/new/contents/media/images/187WhiteHouse2Wnight.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3650/3560722399_5c79f283b7.jpg http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/7081/2228042420103332577S600x600Q85.jpg
14. Not As ClothingThe flag should not be used as "wearing apparel”. The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform.http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/SABIA/dreamteam.jpghttp://gopapparel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/american_flag.jpghttp://www.flagclothes.com/images/homepage_left_fixed.jpghttp://americanflagbikini.net/images/heidi-montag-american-flag-bikini.jpg
15. ExceptionsExcept that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, firefighters, police officers, and members of patriotic organizations. http://thepeoplescube.com/images/US_Army_DoingTheWorkOf.jpg
16. NeverThe flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. It should not be embroidered, printed, or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1566/X1304/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1566-0176441.jpg http://www.1stforparties.com/partysupplies/images/flag%20napkins.jpg
17. GraffitiThe flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind. http://emeraldcityguy.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/mccainflag.jpg
18. DisrespectContrary to an urban legend, the flag code does not state that a flag that touches the ground should be burned. Instead, the flag should be moved so it is not touching the ground. Also, the flag should never be stepped on. http://flagsgonewild.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/protestor_us_flag_103.jpg http://www.pensitoreview.com/images/photo-buprsh-stpranding-on-flag.jpg
19.
20. Folding the FlagThough not part of the official Flag Code, according to military custom, flags should be folded into a triangular shape when not in use. Each fold of the flag also carries a deeper meaning, which is recited at the Flag Folding Ceremony said during holidays including Memorial Day and Veterans Day. For instructions on how to fold the flag, please resort to the United States Flag Code. http://danieldeubank.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/folded_flag.jpg
