Thanks to Matt Cimitile, writer/multimedia man from USGS, you can see how a visual recording unfolds over 2.5 minutes.



This short video was made at the Coastal Zone 2011 Conference in Chicago where we designed a non-traditional plenary session. In a conversational setting, participants spoke from the heart as they gave examples of work around the country that inspired the creation of the first-ever US policy on managing the Coasts, Oceans and Great Lakes. An audience of over 800 people were held attention, laptops closed, cell phones in their pocket.

The chart was posted in the lobby where people could reconnect with the content and continue discussing the ideas over the next three days.

The National Ocean Policy describes how we should manage our coastal resources for future generations to enjoy. It's a milestone for the country but making it real will take doing things differently. We'll need to be creative, inclusive and think, as Jacque Hostler put it, for seven generations out.

The entire session was 90 minutes. With some editing we could speed me up (like the wonderful RSA-style videos) and overlay the spoken content but that is a much bigger editing process.


The world of early childhood learning is new to me and the importance of this critical development time is now cemented in my brain after this event.

A visual summary of our work at the Parent, Provider Partnership retreat with the National Alliance of Children's Trust and Prevention Funds and the Washington State Department of Early Learning. What an honor to be with this group people!

Now this was fun: A morning facilitated by Jim Dies and Bruce Anderson hearing about how people around the world make their world better by building connections and community followed by our own ideas. I was lucky enough to capture all this energy. More reasons to love Vashon!
