ClipSafari ClipSafari is a repository for high quality clip art images. These vector graphics files are suitable for all contexts, because they scale up to any resolution without becoming blurry. Many of these graphic files were sourced from the Open Clipart Project. Open Clipart was an amazing resource and a community of artists. Since April 2019, however, the site has been unavailable. So, we decided to step in. We worked with resources across the internet to locate and process the images that were previously hosted on the Open Clipart site. Because the art of Open Clipart was distributed under the generous CC0 license, we were able to undertake this project instead of the art becoming lost. Our collection of images is a great resource for: web pages posters and fliers email presentations and any other use you can imagine! Currently we don't offer the ability to contribute to the repository, but we hope to implement upload and community features in the near future. Thanks! And, if you have any feedback, please send me an email!

Four Inquiry Qualities At The Heart of Student-Centered Teaching | MindShift | KQED News "Whether it be project-based learning, design thinking or genius hour, it's easy to get confused by the many education buzzwords floating about. But at their heart these pedagogies are all student-centered and there are commonalities across them that are the key to their success and far more critical than keeping the jargon straight. "

The Truth About Research on Screen Time "Parents, Radesky says, should have a media plan specific to their family and stick to it. But, she cautions, it’s also important for parents to model the behaviors they would like their kids to use when it comes to device use. There’s no point in telling your kids to get off their iPads if you can’t bother to put your own device down at the dinner table"

OMG Becky. PD is Getting So Much Better!! | Cult of Pedagogy "What I have for you is a list of 9 alternative models for teacher professional learning. All of these are being tried in different schools, some informally, and some are really well-developed at this point. Many schools are using a combination of them. It’s just incredible. A feast, really. I’m so excited and encouraged to see so many schools willing to personalize learning for their teachers. Lately it has seemed that this is a really sucky time to be a teacher, but I’ll tell you, if there’s one thing that is actually getting better about teaching, I’m pleasantly surprised to say that thing is professional development."
