I watched Urban Institute discussion titled "How we can end poverty in America" today. The recording can be seen at https://www.urban.org/events/conversation-matt-desmond-how-we-can-end-poverty-america

The #LiveAtUrban Twitter feed is at https://twitter.com/search?q=%23liveaturban&src=typed_query&f=live

I shared some of my #conceptmaps and suggested that someone could create a visual showing the "end poverty" strategies shared in the presentation and in Matthew Desmond's book.

Have any of you done that?

I've seen some post about content #curation so thought I'd share a post from #tutormentor blog that I titled "Building knowledge-based ecosystem". https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/search/label/knowledge#:~:text=Building%20knowledge%2Dbased%20ecosystem

This article includes #conceptmaps showing how the information I've put in my library since 1990s is intended to support learning and actions of people in #Chicago & other places.

Collecting the links, updating the library and drawing attention to it are constant challenges.

In this article I show #visualizations that I've been sharing for many years. The title is "Birth-to-Work Goal and Use of Knowledge Base". https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2022/02/birth-to-work-goal-and-use-of-knowledge.html

I'd love to find more people (any people) on Mastodon talking about this and sharing their own graphic explanations.

I just shared a few of my #conceptmaps on Twitter. https://twitter.com/tutormentorteam/status/1632863571947159554?s=20

I wonder if I'll receive more likes & reTweets there than boosts and likes here.

It's not a competition to me. The goal is more people looking at these ideas and becoming strategically involved in helping kids in poverty areas move from #birthtowork.

I've used cMapTools since mid 2000s to create a library of #conceptmaps.

My friend Gene Bellinger has been using other tools, like Kumu and InsightMaker.

He created this video to show 2023 updates to InsightMaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXfV691QfQ

Have any of you been visualizing your ideas using these tools, or others like them?

For nearly 20 years I've been searching for others using #maps & #visualizations the way I do. I did a search for "tutor mentor maps" today and this is what I found. Most of these are mine!

That makes it really difficult to find people on social media who are doing similar work or approaching problem solving the same way.

Do your own search. See what you find. #nonprofit #mentoring #tutoring #youthdevelopment #conceptmaps

I've been writing http://tutormentor.blogspot.com since 2005.

I've hosted http://mappingforjustice.blogspot.com since 2011.

In one section of my web library I point to dozens of blogs about education, learning, collaboration. https://tutormentorexchange.net/resource-links/blog-library

This represents an #ecosystem of people & ideas who interact w each other on social media.

I don't find many using #maps, #conceptmaps & #visualizations the way I do & for the same purpose. If you know of any, please share links.

#blogging

Who's watching #NFL #Football today? Think about the planning and persistence involved in building great teams.

Many of the articles on my #tutormentor blog focus on this process, aimed at filling high poverty areas of #Chicago & other places with a wide range of k-12, #tutormentor & learning programs.

I embed #conceptmaps like this in many articles.

Mit was erstellt ihr denn #ConceptMaps und was empfehlt ihr Schülerinnen und Schülern dafür?

Someone on Twitter asked if I had created videos to guide people through my #ConceptMaps. At first I was not sure of what he was talking about. Then I recalled a video I created a few years ago, where I showed an animation done by #interns in late 2000s.

Take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRipJPgenFc

Many talk about helping kids reach their potential, but few map actions that need to be taken for 20-25 consecutive years, reaching youth in many places. Borrow and make your own versions of my cMaps.

Happy Friday, everyone.

Here's a post from a few Fridays ago, showing the #tutormentor library, which I started in the 1990s. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2022/11/examples-of-tutormentor-library.html

I use #ConceptMaps as blueprints, to show information in the library & strategies for using it.

I wonder if anyone has yet mapped the Mastodon ecosystem to ID & connect those who focus on common causes.
