...Dr. W. Edwards Deming harummphed when asked by a faciltator as to how will we know that the children are learning.

Here is one feature of the Lascuax cave paintings in France. Author's note says that "...It reveals a desire for excellence of the finished work." Wow, we have quite a legacy of Human Ingenuity from the beginning...

...click "back to the cave" for the entire tour. One of the finest websites out there.

Thanks, Jeff, for reminding me of this and I'll embed this now on the tribe's video site to share with all!

At 10:12am on October 30, 2008, Dr. Jorge Olaf Nelson said…: Hi Harriet,

Yes, it is easy to upload .pdf files to share with the tribe.

Click on the white "paper" icon on the Comment Wall menu bar and send us your thoughts, please.

Here (SOAR.pdf) is an example of an uploaded .pdf file - a whitepaper I wrote ten years ago that should stimulate more conversations.

Thanks!

08-Sep-Kappan-Gibboney.pdf

That's such an ugly URL that I'm not sure it is going to fly--but I'm persistent. I hope testing this out doesn't become such a nuisance that no one will care about reading the article.
