Idiom of the week, Liz Fraser on Twitter: "Oh this is rather lovely. #English #language... A Little Trip to the Prado Museum. I have been back in the regular classroom this year teaching Creative Writing.
It is only one block out of our seven block rotation, but it really does keep me hopping with all the other duties and jobs I have to manage in EdTech. The extra work is worth it, because I feel that after a few years completely out of the classroom, it is good to reconnect. It helps with student and teacher relationships, and it keeps me honest. Regular classroom teaching gives the EdTech person street cred in my opinion, because other teachers realize that what you are talking about isn't simply theory, you have been doing it in your classroom.

Every single day in 2013 San Francisco-based artist Klari Reis is creating an abstract painting inside the confines of the humble petri dish, a cylindrical container used by biologists to culture the growth of cells and algae, something the paintings seem to directly resemble.
Called ‘Daily Dish 2013‘ the project is a continuation of a series Reis completed back in 2009, but at a cursory glance I’m already enjoying the 2013 series much more. Despite the limitation of medium and space, it’s amazing to see the variation of color and depth each painting has, for some reason it reminded me of Jason Fried’s 2007 SvN post about the variation of watch faces.
