Here’s the abstract of a paper just out called In pursuit of leanness: The management of appearance, affect and masculinities within a men’s weight loss forum. In a somatic society which promotes visible, idealized forms of embodiment, men are increasingly being interpellated [sic] as image-conscious body-subjects. Some research suggests that men negotiate appearance issues in …

Loved this post--CAST is once again blazing new trails.- Lou
Excerpt: "Rose’s favorite new CAST projects is called Udio (the name’s a mash of UDL and studio), an online reading curriculum funded by the Department of Education. It’s aimed at kids in middle school, the grades where struggling readers start running into trouble in nearly every subject. Standard reading supports focus on things like phonics and building vocabulary with simple sentences. The problem is that struggling readers aren’t the same as beginning readers. Research shows that these students feel a palpable sense of dread when asked to read a passage of text, measured as a physical stress reaction of sweaty palms and a rapid heart rate. “You realize, oh my God, these kids aren’t even in the same classroom. They’re in the savanna with hungry lions prowling, and you’re trying to teach them phonics,” says Rose. “We’re not saying that intensive interventions for reading skills, like phonics, decoding, and fluency, aren’t needed,” adds Gabrielle Rappolt-Schlichtmann, CAST’s co-president and director of the Udio project. “But you can’t get traction with those skills unless you practice. And you have to practice with ardent intent. You have to want to do it.”

A pretty well-reasoned, fundamental thought process for most knowledge work research. This serves as an even better backward (there-to-here) model to guide the core research workflow process automation a knowledge worker may want to devise, install. Think work product-informed -> DevonThink structures -> DevonAgent w/'Active Filtered' automated searches. The most important drivers here are - 'ethical' - (more than just multiple sources, a stage needs to be added at the work product stage to provide authenticity) and - 'bias' - (a post automated search, subsequent manual search for corroborating items selection to provide authority). corroborating

SEO has become a cornerstone in content marketing campaigns as businesses look to establish a presence on the Internet. However, SEO is about more than just making sure you have the appropriate keywords placed in landing pages and blog posts. Search engines are getting smarter – specifically Google – which is constantly trying to keep the playing field leveled with every new update.

To make your Content Marketing work stand out you need to combine visual elements through storytelling. Read to learn more on data visualization.
This, of course, applies to any messaging effort, not just marketing.
Remember people learn from you in 3 ways, audibly, visually and kinaesthetically. Which is why what you do with your body including your face is also so critical.
The first 2 sentences of this article sum it all up:
"On average, your readers will only read 28% of the words on a page.
Can you tell your whole story in 2-3 sentences? Probably not."
As graphic/visual coaches this reinforces the value of recording and working through visuals to support and enhance the normal talking and note taking.

This is the first article in a four-part series exploring how Google has entered the AT world and become a great option for students with dyslexia. It will explain the basics of how Google’s Chrome browser can be used in various ways to help with reading and writing. The second part will look at specific Chrome extensions that work in conjunction with various websites and the education tools of Google Drive. The third part will explain specific Chrome apps that can accommodate language difficulties. Finally, the fourth part will explore add-ons to Google Docs that can help with various writing and study skills.
Thank you Jamie!
Lawrence now has introduced Chromebooks into our middle school. The google environment offers several robust strategies and tools to support students with dyslexia. As you point out, these are not device specific. The bottom line has always been that technology is not a solution--it is a strategy or a tool. At the same time, when we have the right strategy and the rights tools, the solution is within our grasp!--Lou

This is the second perspective on Maslow's hierarchy I have seen in the past few weeks. As we try to make learning more rigorous and more inclusive for all students the importance of meeting student needs in a variety of ways is very important. This must include Social/emotional as well as technological.
A fresh perspective on Maslow's Pyramid of Needs
I really like this pyramid. It certainly makes the psychology of learning clear.
