Item #2 - Welcome to Teachers!

ICS24TX is a perfect event for teachers in K-12 settings to gain Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE). By hosting this event on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word, the Dreeben School of Education has granted us the privilege to offer the CPEs to attendees.

Kids love to make sketchnotes from book reports and other activities.
Sketchnotes are perfect for education!

We have learned that using sketchnotes in the classroom helps students learn by combining visual and textual elements, enhancing memory retention, fostering creativity, and making complex ideas easier to understand. It also encourages active listening and deeper comprehension.

We know that the start of the new school year is right around the corner but this a great way to earn some CPEs this summer. Join us for one day or both days. Teachers will receive 7-clock hours of CPEs per day they attend.

If you know a school teacher in the area that would benefit from this, forward this email to them!

Way back in February 2017, Rob Dimeo hosted a sketchnote symposium in Maryland. At that meeting, Rob was joined by Mike Rodhe, Prof Clayton, and Steve Silbert and the “Old Guard” was born.

Soon after, Mauro Toselli joined the ranks. Over the past seven years, these five gentlemen have supported each other and the sketchnote community at large in many different ways.

Rob is excited to attend his second ISC event (it’s been a minute since he was at ISC18LX) with Mike and Prof, while Steve and Mauro will be watching from home via the live stream. Thanks to the “O.G.” for their support.
