The last post Blogging Class/Don't sleep on it--got a little out of hand --trying to embed photo
and video for the first time,forgive me. But the essence of what I was trying to portray is that
while trying to empower yourself don't forget to take the time to stop and smell the flowers, get
a different perspective on life.
When watching the video of Googles -Mind Maps the blogging class discovered the originator
of Mind Maps -Tony Buzan had a video about learning and how creativity is not being utilized
for opitmal learning in the classroom. I started to do a little reading about learning and the mind. There are a number of mind enhancing kits on the market and checking some of the reviews most of the kits programs are to confusing and therefore not giving the reviewer
good results. From what I can see the same basic stimulus could be achieved from crossword-
puzzles and other inexpensive games.
There were articles about how different enviorments can enhance learning like when Dr Sulk
entered a cavernous room with high ceiling sparked his ideas for the polio vaccine. There was
another article about just getting out into an park-like are can really enable you to break through creative thinking blocks. Its about perspective/getting out of the box. Public spaces and
public places forever.
My other concern in that last blog was the NYPL system and how I could become not so public.
I heard some disturbing news about Google dominating the virtual books domain and has some
Library official quite upset. Still investigating that get back to you on that.
