Minx Graphic Novels: Girl-Positive Comics
Minx Comics, published by DC Comics, focuses on girl-positive themes and images. As a life-long comic book collector (boxes, bags, and the whole nine yards), it has worried me the way women in comics have become hyper-sexualized. It’s difficult to find a female character who doesn’t seem to be popping out of her costume. Minx […]

State of the Union Address Tag Cloud
I thought we posted on this last year. Jason Griffey takes The State of the Union address and remixes the top 75 words into a tag cloud. Now that he’s done it two years in a row, it could be an interesting look at the state of affairs over the last two years. 2008 Address […]

As a School Board Trustee in Lapeer Community Schools(6500 students) I am very excited about passing our first Bond in 34 years!!! With the passage […]
Periodic Table Printmaking Project
Here’s another example of art meeting science. A group of printmakers from all over the world created individual prints (using a variety of mediums) to create a periodic table. This might be a great cross-curriculum project. You could also apply this idea to math formulas and scientific/physical laws. via Neatorama […]
