Everyday thing

I found one by accident! It was so perfect. No visability. I think the affordances also played a part.
I was trained-lulled into a certain mind set and couldn't figure out how to open it. I had to give it to my son who figured it out more quickly because he hadn't been conditioned as I was. Or else, he's just smarter.
I will bring my everyday thing to class. I want to test this out on a few people.
I felt like I was caught in the doors.

Next!

I have really enjoyed reading the Whole New Mind. I feel validated.Vindicated. I have had the experience of having my right brain pounded into a wall. No MBA here. Finally, attributes I've always felt were gifts and not defects are getting some street cred.Ironically, these proclivities of mine have been valued by others in not so obvious ways. I am so happy to have been born into this time to see this. My mother never did. My aunt figured out a way to make it work. My dad played both sides but I think his right brain talents are what set him apart.
I was also heartened to read about dyslexics. I own two so it's good to see that they are in style if they so choose. I've also taught quite a few and parents often told me that I was one teacher who valued their student's gifts. Soon those kids will be calling the shots and they'll remember.

Has it been that long?

Catch-up here.
After the video report on the Pew Report, I was hesitant to blog as I felt that I wanted to debreif with my partners first.
After we did that I just didn't get back. I appreciate everyones effort in this assignment. Of course, my favorite was Rich and Saturated. They looked like they had fun. I felt stressed. I like to know just what amount of what ingredients they had to do that with such a sense of fun. (I probably could read their blogs). Guilty.
