MLC e-News
MARCH 2013


 

New Look 

 

Hello! I'm Jami Smith, graphic designer and social media manager for MLC. I hope you like the new look of MLC e-News; we've updated the format to make it easier to read. In addition to the new look, MLC e-News will now be published monthly, instead of quarterly. You can expect a digest of the MLC blog as well as MLC news and announcements. Your feedback is always welcome, please feel free to send me an email.

  

MLC Goes Social     

 

We have always appreciated the opportunity to connect with educators. Social media offers new channels for building these relationships and developing new ones. We hope you'll engage with us on our new social media sites and help spread the word to friends and colleagues. You'll find links to our social media profiles in the header of this newsletter and in the footer of our website.  We look forward to connecting with you!

After using Bridges in Mathematics K-5 for a number of years, The Hamlin School of San Francisco, California decided to transition to Bridges Second Edition.  Recently I visited this independent K-8 school for girls founded in 1863.  

 

 

Visual Thinking and Art
by Rick Ludeman
 
Recently I read an ASCD article about fostering creativity that described a technique called visual thinking strategies or VTS. Initially created to explore aesthetic development in children, VTS is a teaching method centered on open-ended yet highly-structured discussions of visual art.
