Carl’s Presentation: Visual Tools, Wicked Problems
Presents several visual software tools for different kinds of situations such as learning, understanding, organizing. For when spreadsheets, word processors, memorizing, typical note-taking don’t work well.
One such visual tool is handy for resolving problems that resist or defy solution: what’s for lunch, what to do on vacation, dealing with climate change. The culture of free and open source technology might be handy for dealing with such issues. We’ll take on one of those by working together on a current dilemma.
