Photomath app is blowing my mind via @KarenBlumberg


This app, without overstating it, is a game changer to me. It is a game changer because students will inevitably use it. The challenge for teachers becomes that knowing that, how will we assign work accordingly?

The best assignment I could imagine would be for students to design their own app with the same functionality, the ability to solve problems. What would a computer need to be told to do to be an effective problem solver?

I am not sure why, but I am really stunned by the capabilities of this seemingly simple app.

Van Gogh Visualization - inspiration for multidisciplinary tech, art, math project


@lenkendall tuned me in to this brilliant visualization of 28 Van Gogh's represented by the 5 most prominent colors in each. I found it visually stunning.

Here is an earlier post of mine with 10 free tools to make infographics that I am sharing with you and my visual art and math teachers. It's the perfect opportunity for an multidisciplinary, integrated technology project.

Are your students making infographics? Care to share?

10 Awesome Free Tools To Make Infographics

MakeUseOf.com put together a nice compilation of free tools for making infographics. Is anyone doing this with their students? It seems like it would meet many benchmarks/standards of visual literacy, understandings of data, metrics, and more. A combined math art science project is stirring in my mind.
