I have been reflecting lately on storytelling, particularly visual formats, my thinking spurred by the Multiliteracies PD that I attended last week and hope to blog about more extensively soon. One of the benefits of maintaining an online personal learning network is the ‘aha’ of realising that you are totally on the same page as other educators.

The irrepressible Lauren O’Grady is running a project that several Oz/NZ educators and others are becoming involved in, “6words”. Lauren has set up a the 6words wiki which explains the purpose and scope of the project. What inspires me about is is the possibility that it may create some very powerful dialogues between teachers and students. The simplicity of distilling an idea into 6 words makes it an easy win for teachers and students alike.

Here’s my first, and I imagine there will be more to come.
