KNAT:
No need to get upstressed. I'm the mapographer here.
Knat consults the map with an inflated sense of self-importance.
We're here, and there's a small island just over...
He looks in direction, searching for the island. He looks in another direction.
'Cording to our map, there's a small island just by...
He looks in yet another direction and is beginning to lose face...and hope.
They don't make maps like they used to.
He rolls the map into a ball and tosses it overboard. He stands on the ship's railing, desperate to find the island, calling out to it as if it was a lost animal, clicking his tongue and extending his hand.
Here, island, island. C'mon. Come to Daddy

Shakespeare Searched : http://shakespeare.clusty.com/ designed to provide quick access to the works of the Bard. It's not designed as a replacement for, or access to the full text of his work, but as a quick reference resource. The concept is that it can be used to identify who made a specific speech, which work contains which quotes or even individual words, and also helps draw out specific themes in individual works or across the entire corpus. (Clusty doesn't provide analysis or commentary, just direct access to the text via Vivisimo ).

Nonlinguistic representations : http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/Wignall/onlinelearning/OnlineStrategies.html This may seem an awfully fancy term for “pictures” but activities that require students to create images, maps, diagrams, knowledge maps, and flow charts help learners organize concepts and ideas in personal, individual ways. This type of activity increases later recall and helps them apply what they have learned. Research has shown that using representational activities leads to an increase in understanding ... An excellent example of a concept map can be found here.

For second last panel, paste the last panel in a blank 400x400 image and scale it down to 20% and centralize it. Then make your artwork around it. Repeat the same step over and over till you reach the first panel. (Flash) Possibe images to use to develop test; http://lesuisse.net/supermap/

Nonlinguistic representations : http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/Wignall/onlinelearning/OnlineStrategies.html This may seem an awfully fancy term for “pictures” but activities that require students to create images, maps, diagrams, knowledge maps, and flow charts help learners organize concepts and ideas in personal, individual ways. This type of activity increases later recall and helps them apply what they have learned. Research has shown that using representational activities leads to an increase in understanding ... An excellent example of a concept map can be found here.

: http://www.thingsmagazine.net/ (Tuesday, September 05, 2006). things magazine was originally founded in 1994 by a group of writers and historians based at the Victoria & Albert Museum/Royal College of Art in the belief that objects can open up new ways of understanding the world. Now an independent magazine, things has built a reputation as a home for new writing – essays, reviews, short stories and poems – about objects and their meanings.
