I came across this quote last week and I had to draw it. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela.
Visual Quote by Lisa Nelson
One of the best ways to get an education is through reading books. This year, I want to AMP up my game as far as reading goes. I’m a big fan of audio books but I am going to switch it up this year. This is the year I go back to basics with good old fashioned physical tangible books.
Here’s what’s on my list to read next. I have a nice combo.
- “In the Company of Women” a gift from my friend Wendy
- “Draw to Win” I purchased online
- “Switch”, I got from the library. I’ve renewed it twice and it’s due at end of the month. Uh oh!
I will be pulling out my favorite nuggets from these books and drawing them out. I’ll be sharing them in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
What’s on your reading list?

What if teachers could see learning through the eyes of their students?
On Monday, July 11th I had the chance to hear John Hattie and several other speakers answer that question at the Annual Visible Learning Conference hosted by Corwin Press. During this conference I created visual maps of the keynotes throughout the day. The completed charts were displayed in the Exhibit Hall so attendees could get a closer look at take photos. I spoke with so many educators who shared with me how they want to use more visuals in their classrooms. YES! The power of visual thinking is really amazing.
