DEEP Learning Day 1

Top tidbits to keep for further investigation:
*Storify and Flipboard- organize Twitter hashtags into a list or magazine view.
*9 Elements of Digital Citizenship
*@bagmonster on Twitter for activism against disposable plastic use 
*Pacific Tree Octopus
*Museum of Me- organizes your Facebook data into a museum view to give a peak into your digital footprint
*Powtoon
*Fractus Learning Articles link
*Brian Kennedy on Visual Literacy: TED speaker and Museum Curator
*Visual Literacy Boot Camp Deep Dive
*Kirby Ferguson: Everything is a remix
*Free Fonts: Font Squirrel is great
*The Noun Project
*Clipart- CC Search
*CC- Flickr

Tips:
*Change text size on Mac: command +/-
*Make a copy: Google Doc links can be shared in a way that those with the link are prompted to make a copy. 
Just copy the link in the document you are editing and change the end of the link part that includes "edit#" to "copy" and share the "copy" version with others.
Example: 
Change- https://docs.google.com/a/example/edit#
To- https://docs.google.com/a/example/copy
*Eye dropper/magnifying glass to snip color from another part of your image
*Use Keynote for future presentations instead of Haiku Deck because it allows for more manipulation
*Fonts for screen: Futura and Tahoma are great (but not for printing)
*CRAP/CARP- Principles of design: contrast, repetition (of style), alignment, proximity (white space)

Quotes:
*"Using three crappy images is 3x as bad." -Sean Thompson
*"Visual Literacy has its own vocabulary."
*"Poor alignment is probably the biggest cause of bad design."

To Do:
Play around with ThingLink, Pages or Piktochart to make this learning more accessible for others!
