TEACHING MINDFULNESS IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
How often do you pay attention to your awareness when you are in a digital environment? What is all of this attention wandering online doing to your brain? Developing our attention and mindfulness practices is a critical 21st century skill for us and for our students. Through your participation in these sessions and the online community you can learn more about mindfulness in a digital environment and how to incorporate this critical 21st century skill into your teaching practices.

AFFINITY: A REAL ALTERNATIVE TO ADOBE
Adobe’s Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign have been essential tools for doing real design work for a very long time, but Adobe’s all-or-nothing pricing model makes it hard to be enthusiastic about it. The Affinity Suite provides us with a real alternative to Adobe’s design suite. Come see if a smaller, cheaper, more focused application suite can work for you in this alternate reality version of the Graphic Design Toolkit Primer workshop.
