Re: good Logo activities at NRICH

[edwinp13@xxxx]

Sorry Jean, it's probably my fault!

One way I limit the number of e-mails from any forum is to change my 
preference to a daily digest. When I want to follow a thread, then I 
go on-line. With LogoForum, I am currently set to daily email. And 
since I have a cable model, I get the postings almost instantly. I 
prefer this method at the present time so I can be more interactive 
with my postings.

For example, I am currently reading up on a posting to a thread I'm 
exploring to the maximum : Catalyst in the Learning Equation.

I just read this post this morning:
"I would add Alfie Kohn (www.alfiekohn.org) as someone who discusses 
the many ways that rewards can result in the *opposite* of what one 
intends."

My sense is that this particular posting would have mothers in the 
forum responding. In fact, as soon as I find this particular article 
by Alfie Kohn, I'm sending it to my Mom! Then I'll post her "one-
liner". But for now, I'll find and read the article and figure out 
how Kohn got this paper published.

:-) edwin

P.S. - Don't worry about me being in this group. I know there are 
mothers that post here. In the LogoForum, it's mostly guys who post 
and respond. And you know guys ... we love beating up on each other.
