Paul Bogush tweeted a link to a blog post of his “What do you want your kids to say about you“. He also started a collaborative slideshow,

I have some homework homelearning for you.  Find an image that best depicts the experience you want your kids to have.  You could interpret that as meaning your personal children, future kids, or current students.  So whether you are a college professor, a homeschooler, a 3rd grade teacher, an online educator, or even if you don’t have any children yet I would love for you to contribute.  If you are a student choose an image that depicts how you would like your education to be.  Just click on the link and follow the directions.

Take a look and THINK what you would add, then CONTRIBUTE. The power of these slideshows is in the COLLABORATION. Each slide makes the end result more powerful.
