Read like a Nobel Laureate

Written on: October 20th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Nobel Prize season is upon us, with ongoing announcements for the winners in various categories, and the awards ceremony itself just around the corner.

Learning expedition

Written on: August 6th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

I took the afternoon off today to visit the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia- one of the best museums in the area, in my opinion. I have a friend there who arranged for ‘back stage passes’ for my daughter to see some Lewis and Clark Expedition-related items in their collection, since she has been […]

Reading: Eyes or Ears?

Written on: July 14th, 2009 in LearningLearning Journeys

Kathy here: We have talked before about reading with our ears.  Dave Robicheaux, Stephanie Plum and Sookie Stackhouse come to life before me…the supporting characters welcome me into their conversations…when I listen to these tales. But, I simply cannot read one of these novels with my eyes. Period. Well, now I know the reverse is true as […]

Learner Unblocked

Written on: June 30th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Kathy here: Yes, three weeks have flown by since I recognized my Learner's Block. Three weeks in which I dug into drawers, binders and boxes filled with ideas, theories and creative offerings. Why? I couldn't concentrate on my reading!  The revelation? It's all about the organizers. Per dictionary.com, a means which encourages one to: put […]

Learner’s Block?

Written on: June 9th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Kathy here: System shutdown; project offline;no data entered…I could go on…but what it comes down to is that my brain is full. Picture the file cabinet that practically spews paper when you open it, almost daring you to try and stuff one more sheet of paper inside. That's where I stand. Does this surprise you? […]

Frederick the Poet

Written on: June 2nd, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Honoré here: Frederick by Leo Lionni is one of my all-time favorite children's picture books.  In one of my first Twitter posts , I tweeted: " A pleasant break : Frederick by Leo Lionni on YouTube http://bit.ly/weIw6 ."   You can see – the You Tube video, that is. Since I don't have copy of the […]

Tweet, Tweet…

Written on: May 19th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Honoré here: In my April 27 post, I wrote about  Steve Leveen's blog post on the ubiquitous 3 x 5 index card. Kathy and I are allegedly using the 21st Century version of the 3 x 5 card: Twitter.  Perhaps you've heard of Twitter and tweets – short, 140 character posts that chronicle such mundane […]

My Personal Introduction to the Internet and World Wide Web

Written on: May 12th, 2009 in Learning Journeys

Honoré here:  In early April, Annie shared with us a report*:   2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition – the web version.   I quickly scanned the Table of Contents – liked so much that it was right there, up top in prime real estate or as it's called in web parlance – above the fold section […]
