A few years old but a very neat piece from evolutionary #anthropologist Karen #Kramer. How do children learn best? Packed into same-age classrooms listening to an adult?
'...work among with the Pumé of Venezuela and the Maya living in the Yucatan Peninsula—resoundingly suggests that they learn from one another.'
...
'IN THE CHILD-populous world of hunter-gatherers, little separates the spheres of adults and children. The places they work, play, relax, and sleep are not segregated. Privacy, alone time, and adult-only spaces are concepts unknown to the Pumé, for example. They live in open-walled structures that children freely run in and out of without requesting entry. Pumé children also aren’t restricted from what might be considered adult spaces and activities, such as menstrual huts (special structures where women in many traditional societies go for the few days a month when they menstruate), watching births, being around the dying, or participating in all-night social dances, called tohé, where the band joins together to sing, conduct healings, and tell stories.'
We are happy to announce that the program for the 60th anniversary meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics is online. We are looking forward to five days with eighty cybernetic conversations.
Finished #firewatch just now... I'm so melancholic right now. Loved the characters, the pace and the story. One of the #games I liked more, maybe just a little less than #toTheMoon.
Worth every single penny.
This fascinating and hopeful article shows the value of early years intervention on getting parents to read to, play with and talk to their children, whether newborn or already in school. #SouthAfrica#EarlyYears#Children#VirtuousHope#Reading#Play
Sometimes I just want to play a simple game of #Solitaire, no fuss, no need to sign into anything, just #play. #Windows95 might be nearly 30 years old, but it certainly plays a vital role in my life on a Saturday night.
May the image take you to a hillside filled with wildflowers, on a perfect sunny day in late spring -- and may you connect with that wild child within you who runs and jumps and dreams and plays.
May the image take you to a perfect summer day, one in which you have no obligations or anything written on a schedule, and you are free to dream . . .
What if I wore all black alpaca wool clothing for improved healthy and aesthetic and comfort, and then did a silly lil thing of running away and bouncing around on my bed and hiding behind the feather pillar!
