| pictionary 2017: Interaction of Symbols Mike Zender, 2024-10-15 Interaction of Symbols is a book for everyone engaged with icon design. It presents a theory of how icons work: symbols in an icon interact to evoke meaning. From this theory flow design principles and practices based on evidence from Design and other disciplines such as Psychology, Perception, and Cognition. The theory, principles, and practices impact how all symbol-based communications are conceived, designed, and applied. The book focuses on icons that elicit a concept without any previous training or use of language. Findings from twenty years’ worth of empirical design research studies explore, illustrate, and support each principle, process, and recommendation. The book begins with a review of icon research from various fields before laying a conceptual foundation that grounds the theory of the book. After and elaborating on that theory are chapters that demonstrate how to Establish Contexts to Guide Comprehension, Glean Which Symbols to Draw, Learn How to Draw Understandable Symbols, Clarify Metaphor, and Use Icons to Decipher Icons in Icon Systems. Written and carefully designed for a broad audience, the book’s scholarly level is elevated while the presentation is approachable. Scholar or professional can skim, scan, or dig, it’s up to them. Heavily illustrated and supported with ample citations, it is not only a book for students and professionals within the field of communication design, but also for anyone who communicates with visual symbols, from healthcare professionals to software engineers, affecting all kinds of graphic communications from advertisements to assembly instructions. |
| pictionary 2017: Drawing Physics Don S. Lemons, 2017-02-03 A physics professor pairs short, elegantly written essays with simple drawings that offer engaging and accessible explanations of 51 key ideas in physics, from triangulation to relativity and beyond Humans have been trying to understand the physical universe since antiquity. Aristotle had one vision (the realm of the celestial spheres is perfect), and Einstein another (all motion is relativistic). Understandings often begin with a drawing, a humble but effective tool of the physicist's craft, part of the tradition of thinking, teaching, and learning passed down through the centuries. Don Lemons, a professor of physics and author of several physics books, pairs his essays with drawings that together convey important concepts from the history of physical science. The essays proceed chronologically, beginning with Thales' discovery of triangulation, the Pythagorean monochord, and Archimedes' explanation of balance. Readers will learn about Leonardo's description of “earthshine” (the ghostly glow between the horns of a crescent moon), Kepler's laws of planetary motion, and Newton's cradle (suspended steel balls demonstrating by their collisions that for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction). Lemons reaches the 20th and 21st centuries with pieces on the photoelectric effect, the hydrogen atom, general relativity, the global greenhouse effect, Higgs boson, and more. The essays also place the science of the drawings in historical context—describing Galileo's conflict with the Roman Catholic Church over his teaching that the sun is the center of the universe, the link between the discovery of electrical phenomena and the romanticism of William Wordsworth, and the shadow cast by the Great War over Einstein's discovery of relativity. |
| pictionary 2017: Power-Up Matthew Lane, 2019-11-19 Did you know that every time you pick up the controller to your PlayStation or Xbox, you are entering a game world steeped in mathematics? Power-Up reveals the hidden mathematics in many of today's most popular video games and explains why mathematical learning doesn't just happen in the classroom or from books--you're doing it without even realizing it when you play games on your cell phone. In this lively and entertaining book, Matthew Lane discusses how gamers are engaging with the traveling salesman problem when they play Assassin's Creed, why it is mathematically impossible for Mario to jump through the Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario Bros., and how The Sims teaches us the mathematical costs of maintaining relationships. He looks at mathematical pursuit problems in classic games like Missile Command and Ms. Pac-Man, and how each time you play Tetris, you're grappling with one of the most famous unsolved problems in all of mathematics and computer science. Along the way, Lane discusses why Family Feud and Pictionary make for ho-hum video games, how realism in video games (or the lack of it) influences learning, what video games can teach us about the mathematics of voting, the mathematics of designing video games, and much more. Power-Up shows how the world of video games is an unexpectedly rich medium for learning about the beautiful mathematical ideas that touch all aspects of our lives--including our virtual ones.--Dust jacket. |
| pictionary 2017: Grammar, Meaning, and Concepts Susan Strauss, Parastou Feiz, Xuehua Xiang, 2018-05-11 Grammar, Meaning, and Concepts: A Discourse-Based Approach to English Grammar is a book for language teachers and learners that focuses on the meanings of grammatical constructions within discourse, rather than on language as structure governed by rigid rules. This text emphasizes the ways in which users of language construct meaning, express viewpoints, and depict imageries using the conceptual, meaning-filled categories that underlie all of grammar. Written by a team of authors with years of experience teaching grammar to future teachers of English, this book puts grammar in the context of real language and illustrates grammar in use through an abundance of authentic data examples. Each chapter also provides a variety of activities that focus on grammar, genre, discourse, and meaning, which can be used as they are or can be adapted for classroom practice. The activities are also designed to raise awareness about discourse, grammar, and meaning in all facets of everyday life, and can be used as springboards for upper high school, undergraduate, and graduate level research projects and inquiry-based grammatical analysis. Grammar, Meaning, and Concepts is an ideal textbook for those in the areas of teacher education, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, second language teaching, ESL, EFL, and communications who are looking to teach and learn grammar from a dynamic perspective. |

| pictionary 2017: Forward with Classics Arlene Holmes-Henderson, Steven Hunt, Mai Musié, 2018-08-09 Despite their removal from England's National Curriculum in 1988, and claims of elitism, Latin and Greek are increasingly re-entering the 'mainstream' educational arena. Since 2012, there have been more students in state-maintained schools in England studying classical subjects than in independent schools, and the number of schools offering Classics continues to rise in the state-maintained sector. The teaching and learning of Latin and Greek is not, however, confined to the classroom: community-based learning for adults and children is facilitated in newly established regional Classics hubs in evenings and at weekends, in universities as part of outreach, and even in parks and in prisons. This book investigates the motivations of teachers and learners behind the rise of Classics in the classroom and in communities, and explores ways in which knowledge of classical languages is considered valuable for diverse learners in the 21st century. The role of classical languages within the English educational policy landscape is examined, as new possibilities exist for introducing Latin and Greek into school curricula. The state of Classics education internationally is also investigated, with case studies presenting the status quo in policy and practice from Australasia, North America, the rest of Europe and worldwide. The priorities for the future of Classics education in these diverse locations are compared and contrasted by the editors, who conjecture what strategies are conducive to success. |

| pictionary 2017: Speaking Beyond Earth Paul E. Quast, David Dunér, 2024-04-03 Since the dawn of the Space Age, small cohorts of humanity have broadcast signals towards other stars, fabricated space-time capsules to speak for Earth aboard interstellar probes, deposited collections of space oddities on other astronomical bodies, and permanently incised the memory of our species across the deep-time legacy of the Sol System. Many of these purposeful messages are the consequence of age-old behaviors, traditions, and material practices using modern aerospace technologies. Most attempt to preserve narratives of human experience in social exchange devices for imagined, exotic audiences. Looking back upon this accumulative history of messaging from Earth, how do we begin to interpret such an eclectic portrait of Earth for ourselves? Surveying and cataloguing the variety of these artifacts through a series of interdisciplinary essays and visual documentation, this volume chronicles our changing relationships, customs, and assumptions made within this material culture for our own eyes. What do these autobiographical accounts tell us about Terrans and our minds, set against the backdrop of our planetary history? |

| pictionary 2017: Applied Learning in Higher Education: Sok Mui Lim, Yong Lim Foo, Han Tong Loh, Xudong Deng, 2020 Today, “all institutions of higher education almost everywhere in the world have been influenced by the concept of globalisation. The resulting policy changes in each nation state have, of course, reflected the degree of the impact of globalisation on the country, hence the changes in higher education.” (Banya, 2005, p.147). This points to globalisation shaping knowledge production as well as the spread of intentional and continuous waves of innovation. The effects of globalisation on education can be seen through a) the changing paradigm from a closed system to a more open system, and b) the changing approach from a teacher-centred learning environment to that of a learner-centred environment. This changing approach culminates in the broader ideas of ‘applied learning’ through a) a productive view of learning versus reproductive view of learning, b) constructivist versus behaviourist, c) learning facilitation versus teaching, and d) process-based assessment versus outcome-based assessment (Rudic, 2016). |
| pictionary 2017: The Routledge Handbook of Semiosis and the Brain Adolfo M. García, Agustín Ibáñez, 2022-11-14 This Handbook introduces neurosemiotics, a pluralistic framework to reconsider semiosis as an emergent phenomenon at the interface of biology and culture. Across individual and interpersonal settings, meaning is influenced by external and internal processes bridging phenomenological and biological dimensions. Yet, each of these dyads has been segregated into discipline-specific topics, with attempts to chart their intersections proving preliminary at best. Bringing together perspectives from world-leading experts, this volume seeks to overcome these disciplinary divides between the social and the natural sciences at both the empirical and theoretical levels. Its various chapters chart the foundations of neurosemiotics; characterize linguistic and interpersonal dynamics as shaped by neurocognitive, bodily, situational, and societal factors; and examine other daily neurosemiotic occurrences driven by faces, music, tools, and even visceral signals. This comprehensive volume is a state-of the-art resource for students and researchers interested in how humans and other animals construe experience in such fields as cognitive neuroscience, biosemiotics, philosophy of mind, neuropsychology, neurolinguistics, and evolutionary biology. |

| pictionary 2017: The Meaningful Middle School Classroom Jennifer K. Ciok, 2025-05-30 Explore ways to spark engagement in the middle school classroom with this practical and inspiring guide. Early teens face distinctive challenges. They are entering adolescence with new and more intense social and academic pressures. They are beginning to ask big questions and seek deeper meaning in all aspects of their lives—including what they're learning at school. Unfortunately, for many students at this unique developmental stage, classroom engagement also begins to wane. In The Meaningful Middle School Classroom, Jennifer K. Ciok draws on her more than 25 years of experience as a teacher and coach, along with insights and reflections from other educators, researchers, and students, to clarify opportunities and challenges teachers face at this level. She begins with an examination of the developing adolescent brain and how teachers can collect qualitative data to better comprehend the student experience. Then she highlights the following practices for connecting with students: • Creating experiences that elevate students' own stories and backgrounds so that they feel seen, heard, and valued. • Integrating art into the classroom to help foster self-expression and curiosity. • Exploring authentic applications, passion projects, and service learning opportunities to connect classroom learning to the real world. • Offering simple ways to infuse relevance and meaning into the curriculum. With strategies across content areas, reflective questions to support teachers' implementation efforts, and real-life examples of successful outcomes, The Meaningful Middle School Classroom will help teachers keep engagement high, bolster academic outcomes, and give students the support they need at a critical life stage. |
| pictionary 2017: A Slow, Painful Death Would Be Too Good for You (and Other Observations): A Pillow Book for Dyspeptics David Roddis, 2018-09-24 Gather 'round, peeps, for some sparkling, startling lessons in old-school fabulousness, including a bitch-slap from Big Gay Pope David; a breathtaking ride on a Gigolo; and even a photography master class with that insufferable Canadian superstar and adulte terrible David DeLaRoddis,The Guy With The Eye. In this debut collection of personal essays -- a veritable treasure trove of bons mots and quirky alter egos, as well as a tongue-in-cheek memoir and a rallying cry of queer solidarity -- David Roddis aims his wry, devastating wit at Canadian and U.S. politics, pineapple Freezies and just about everything in between, not sparing himself a few self-deprecating jabs in the process. Blending sixty-plus years of defiant survival into vintage Champagne, and with a voice that runs the gamut from caustic to camp, satirical to lyrical, Roddis ultimately reminds us that, however desperate the situation may appear, it's never serious. |
