Quick post to let you know I’ve tried my first YouTube upload, and here are the results. This video is large (35+ Mb) and there is an even larger one available if you want high-def, but you’ll need a fast connection.
The purpose of the slideshow is to illuminate the inner world of children as they participate in some of the endangered arts experiences that the Factory Education propagandists call “fluff.”
Please check it out if you can, and comment / discussion is, as ever, encouraged.

arts integration brain research, multiple intelligences 1 Comment
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. I shared last year’s report, so I thought I’d do likewise with this one. Note: I’m writing a post now that is a follow-up to the Multiple Intelligences and Dance essay I posted early on. There’s a lot going on in brain research, and there’s action research besides. More soon!
Here’s an excerpt:
Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 66,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Many thanks to everyone who’s read this blog, even once!
