Neat-O Burrito: March 2010
http://seanbenson.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 13, 2010. Algebra Lesson for 7th Graders. I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what I'm going to teach and how I'm going to teach it. I came up with this lesson this morning- having fallen asleep worrying about how and what I'm teaching next week. You have two children, one boy and one girl. Whatever you give to the girl you have to give to the boy, and vice versa. They ar really loud and annoying, so you have to keep everything equal. You can or - a variable. Then I'd set ...

Wednesday, May 4, 2011. If I were to develop my own industrial design program, here are some things I would require of it:. A program that fosters creativity by rewarding excellence and promoting experimentation. Foundation studies- key to any art degree are the basics: drawing composition, color theory, printmaking, sculpture, drawing techniques, 3d design, figure drawing, etc. Mass production considerations (materials and processes). Corporate problem solving scenarios- dealing with real-world clients.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. In a dream last night I was traveling through the park in one of the little springy kid toys from the playground. Apparently I was flying. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Neat-O Burrito: October 2009
http://seanbenson.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 21, 2009. This post is on the need for productive industry in the Spokane area, as there are to be several unemployed or under-employed individuals this coming winter. My idea- and this isn't entirely original- was to have a pottery center for the homeless, where they would be able to come and get some work when they wanted it.all sorts of problems there. Maybe if it were something people needed- like pens, or food.no, wait. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). It's probably just a passing phase.

Neat-O Burrito: November 2009

Saturday, November 21, 2009. All pervasive, at least on the internet, the Search Engine has begun shaping the way we think. Search engines are special websites that act like indexes for the world wide web, and the first place most people go when looking for information on a specific topic. But does this mean that they're shaping our thinking? In his Atlantic Monthly. Article "Is Google Making Us Stupid". S a really annoying video that summarizes much of that book.) The change is happening, and it wil...

Neat-O Burrito: June 2010
http://seanbenson.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Why do authors have to pace their stories, have to describe scenes, and use rising action? Why don't they just get to the point? Why can't the story just be problem-solution-done? Sometimes authors have to use filler to get their message across. Although Spokane is a little more densely populated, those opportunities still happen. I'm just out of practice listening for them. Sunday, June 20, 2010. Don't do so well without structure, though. End of School Year. So that's where I'm ...

Monday, August 9, 2010. Two years ago my wife and I bought an electric kiln. I think we were both wanting a bit of that old studio in our lives again. This year we finally got around to setting up a working pottery studio: " Red Panda Pottery. Recently, a friend asked what my long term plan for the studio is. In answer, I would like to generate some of the same dynamic qualities that I adored from the ceramics studio. Here are a few things I would like to incorporate into our operation.

Friday, October 26, 2012. I've been reading http:/ www.mangareader.net/nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the-wind/1. So here's the background for my question:. When I was 17, my friend Jun gave me these manga and I read them. And was addicted! I couldn't wait for the English translations to come out. Nausicaa was so fierce and loving, and so carried along by the winds that drove her. I felt admiration and kinship. And something more. In my Japanese history class, the teacher told us a word that has no English tr...

Neat-O Burrito: January 2011
http://seanbenson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Just got through talking with a friend. He has a 13 year old and we both agreed that there is some apathy in the way middle school kids are approaching the world. I suggested it is at least a little cultural. Earlier today, one of the 13 year old kids in my class asked, "How old are you? When I said 36, she said "That's how old my mom is." I am in the parents generation. Are we the reason so many kids are apathetic? Have we (generation x) taught them this approach?
