VizThink Austin, April 30

On April 30, we held our first VizThink Austin Session! The goal of this session was three-fold: to get a "pulse" of the community interest, to gather content about how people want to or are currently using visual thinking in their lives and work, and to build momentum behind the larger movement toward establishing visual literacy as a skill tantamount to reading and writing. The turnout was fantastic - thank you, Austin - and there was a lot of interest expressed in what happens next. The next session will likely involve a workshop about e-Learning and, of course, we'll have to throw in a good visual thinking game. Can't wait.

Breaking Ground: VizThink Austin

Exciting news! There is a VizThink community forming throughout the world and I, Marilyn Martin and Charlene McBride are the first ambassadors to Austin. We are putting Austin on the map to show that there IS a community of creative, intelligent thought leaders here and we will move the momentum of visual language toward critical mass. We're holding a ground-breaking first session on Wedneday, April 30th from 6-8 pm. The intention of the VizThink School is to employ visual language to build consensus, increase group learning and simplify complex problems. Each workshop will involve hands on activities and visual "play," and we plan to grow this community AND consequently, this movement, by bringing together current and future visual practitioners. All hail the visual word. Click on the link below to find information about VizThink and the Austin partnership.
