I showed this whiteboard to one of the teachers of the "class next door" @TheBACBoston It's amazing the difference between #Rhino3D and #dynamobim for #digitalfabrication

[Kyle Martin @KCMarchitect]

Some exciting work taking shape in @DynamoBIM with this semester��s batch of #DME2013 students! @TheBACBoston @AtwoodPeter @LilitRevazian

"... problem-solving tasks, and deciding which pieces of information are relevant and which can be safely ignored..."

Digital Media Education is all about teaching students how filter onscreen information and I find our human emotions play a big part.

I'm intrigued at the opportunity to really lead students through a prescribed project set where the outcomes are 'predictable' and controlled. Specifically I am interested in what aspects of a class the instructor should control?

Second session @TheBACBoston advanced @rhinocerosdsg & #DigitalFabrication elective kicked off today with some #Lasercutting

It was a lot to get through in one class but everyone stayed excited and engaged.

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

I'm always very excited when I get some #meme inspired student #notecards in my classes. This got me thinking about the act of "noting" and the importance of responding as you work digitally. #Rhino3D

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

@yelmelnobrainer I agree it is 'viz' in general and that this is a category of .... Representation?

I'm guessing you teach assembly diagrams in sustainable materials assembly?

#Notecard from #SpatialThinking

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

A student asked me today "when do we learn how to #diagram?" Obviously we need to do a better job teaching this skill...or teaching students how to teach themselves?

Do diagrams always contain #dataviz 🤔

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

Today I got to reboot my excitement for @prattbennet #TTT course by presenting to the new class the #VisualSyllabus I developed for my @TheBACBoston #MakingModeling class. Looking forward to do some mentoring soon https://t.co/zDNIr6pJFC

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

@DynamoBIM and #DigitalFabrication student knowledge share @TheBACBoston tonight. #SingleScreenDemo

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

#3Dprinting and #LaserCutting training day for the next round of #LightTimeBuild @TheBACBoston @BUILDSpc 🤖😁👍

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

Check out this @TheBACBoston #Making #Modeling #notecard captioned "Destructive Workflow!"

The phrase is what I always say.
The photo is from another class.
We will talk about it this morning.
I will use it to intro new concepts.
By relating it to old concepts.

The image in this tweet captured my attention @csbishopfilm as we are designing pencil holders as an intro to #DigitalFabrication @TheBACBoston

I can't wait to check out the article linked in more detail! https://t.co/Mu7uiZ6CsB

@KrisProvoost @acsackerman @TheBACBoston Hi we'd love to talk more. Got any additional things we could use as source material for the class. They are finishing the first assignment #GIF creation

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

@MRSpicher @acsackerman @TheBACBoston I think our #ReactionVideo @TheBACBoston #Online #Animation experimental Final Reviews started off well today. If anyone else is interested ( @MRSpicher @fusePS @bp_713 @donotsettleproj ) let me know 😬

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

As I continue to teach, coteach and develope #DigitalFabrication and #Design courses (currently 4 of them @TheBACBoston ) I am strongly trusting in the power of in class making experiences. In this model course prep should take a back seat to in class flexibility and energy.

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

When teaching #DigitalFabrication and #Design where does the teacher belong in the workflow?

More @TheBACBoston @BUILDSpc fire extinguisher training today! Just a few more trainings then we can get Fabricating.

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

@KCMarchitect @TheBACBoston explaining #breps #nurbs #meshes and their relationship @DynamoBIM and #digitalfabrication #tooling

Great use of our new 407 classroom 👍

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

Yesterday's @TheBACBoston @BUILDSpc #DigitalFabrication class engaged Design Iteration in @adskFusion360 and @AutodeskRevit by concentrating on the #onscreen fabrication feedback loops. They are learning to see these as #DesignThinking

[Peter Atwood @AtwoodPeter]

Today during class I explained #notecards to a student and after an enthusiastic discuss they ended with...

"So it's like #microdosing"

😬😂🤯
