“Free: the past and future of a radical price” – a book by Chris Anderson

This book is about the 21st century meaning of “free”, which really means you don’t have to pay anything… as opposed to the 20th century meaning of free, which meant that there’s a hidden cost somewhere. The book is available as a book (for instance on www.amazon.de, www.amazon.com), with a small cost, or as an […]

By cross-posting some entries from my posterous.com blog onto my wordpress blog, there are now some ana-chronisms… Please refer to my original posterous.com blog (http://bobreuter.posterous.com/) to see things in their correct time-frame… 🙂 0

Learning to dance – episode 4

Yesterday, we repeated several dance steps and were introduced to the “valse viennoise”. The “cha-cha-cha” works pretty good for us, maybe the turning move needs some minor improvements and the re-connection after the turn is not perfect yet… but it’s fun! The “tango” is starting to be really good… one lady even complemented us on […]

Learning to dance – episode 3

Yesterday, we’ve been to our third dance class and we repeated the “valse lente”, extended the “cha-cha-cha” (with the so-called “New York” steps) and learned the basic steps of the “tango”. I still find the “tango” quite difficult, because it’s a longer sequence of steps that I tend to confuse, after a while, with other […]

Learning to dance – episode 2

I just realize that I’ve skipped the documentation of our second dance class… Can’t tell you why… maybe I’ve been too busy reading and evaluating my students’ exams, reports and essays… Well, this teaches me something, at least… when I don’t write down my thoughts and experiences shortly after I’ve had them, then they are […]

Learning to dance – episode 1

Nathalie & I have finally decided to take dance classes. I should mention that I had taken dance classes when I was about 17 (I’m not completely sure anymore) and I still know the different dances, to some extent. But we wanted to harmonize our “dancing-as-a-couple”, to bring our dancing skills to the same level… […]

Using simple online games as tools for research on learning processes

I think it would be great to explore the way kids think and act when confronted with simple online games of the "problem-solving" type, like Magic Pen. It should be relatively easy to study how they conceive the problems and their solutions by recording the ongoing activity on the computer screen as well as their […]
