Download or read book Dear Data written by Giorgia Lupi and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Download or read book Manuale di scrittura creativa written by Vania Russo and published by Panda Edizioni. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scrivere è passione, arte, fantasia. Ma può essere anche un mestiere, un lavoro, e Vania Russo, editor professionista, conosce la strada che può portare ogni scrittore a diventare un maestro della scrittura. L'ottica professionale è diversa da quella di impulso, e considera ogni elemento di un libro in modo funzionale, con l'obiettivo di migliorare il testo e renderlo più fruibile, più piacevole, in definitiva più bello. Ottimizzare il processo che sottosta alla scrittura non è semplice, ma l'autrice, servendosi della sua esperienza e dei corsi che a sua volta ha frequentato, mette a disposizione del lettore le proprie competenze per aiutare a mettere a fuoco i punti importanti, ed elaborarli nella maniera migliore. Oltre all'analisi e allo sviluppo della teoria della narrazione, questo libro è arricchito dalle esperienze in aula che sono state svolte, dagli esercizi individuali proposti e da alcuni approfondimenti da parte di un editore, Andrea Tralli, che costituiscono un “occhio indiscreto” interno al mondo delle case editrici. Un libro importante e ricco, che può aiutare nel concreto ogni scrittore, dall'esordiente all'aspirante professionista.

Download or read book Rubric Nation written by Michelle Tenam-Zemach and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a rubric and how are they being used in teacher education and evaluation? When did rubrics become ubiquitous in the field of education? What impact do rubrics have on students, teachers, teacher educators, and the educational enterprise? This book is an edited volume of essays that critically examine the phenomenon of rubrics in teacher education, evaluation and education more broadly. Rubrics have seen a dramatic rise in use and presence over the past twenty-five years in colleges of education and districts across the country. Although there is a wealth of literature about how to make rubrics, there is scant literature that explores the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics and the impact the rubric phenomenon is having in reshaping education. The chapters included in this edited volume will critically reflect on the contemporary contexts of rubrics and the uses and impact of rubrics in education. Since rubrics have become indelible in education, it is necessary for a fuller, nuanced discussion of the phenomenon. Creating a book that explores these aspects of rubrics is timely and fundamental to expanding the discourse on this ubiquitous evaluation tool. This book is not meant to be a series of chapters dedicated to best practices for creating rubrics, nor is this text meant to present all sides of the rubric discussion. Rather, this text intends to offer critical polemics about rubrics that can spur greater critical discussion about a phenomenon in education that has largely been unquestioned in the literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rete contenuto e marketing sono centrali ma spesso non si presta la giusta cura nella scrittura per i media digitali, sacrificando la creatività e limitandosi a ripetere formule ormai note e poco efficaci. Questo libro aiuta a trovare le parole quando sembra di non averne. È un modo di avvicinarsi alla scrittura attraverso un approccio che include i principi del design, con l'obiettivo di smettere di scrivere sempre le stesse cose e imparare a raccontarsi condividendo idee ed esperienze, immedesimandosi in chi legge. Il punto di partenza è il processo di ricerca: imparare a farsi le domande giuste, definire messaggio, contesto e obiettivi, pensare e agire come un designer, immaginando nuovi percorsi. Quindi viene data grande attenzione a buoni e cattivi esempi di scrittura tratti da siti web, newsletter, social network e blog: consigli semplici da cui prendere ispirazione. Gli esercizi che chiudono il volume consentono infine di mettere alla prova quanto appreso e sperimentare alla ricerca di uno stile personale. Una guida ricca di spunti e suggerimenti, dedicata sia a chi scrive per professione sia a chi lo fa per passione su un sito, un blog o un social network.
