I was just finishing the end of a book about Buckminster Fuller (You Belong to the Universe by Jonathan Keats) when a reference to Fuller's Peace Game was explained. It was Bucky's attempt to show how natural resources could be allocated in a way that would eliminate war and create harmony among natures. He played it on college campuses, and tried to get the US government on board. Sound familiar? I wonder if John Hunter read Fuller. (I am not reading Hunter's book.)<br />KevinDogtraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079631702744063837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941075216083011590.post-43355994666232976252016-07-05T02:47:52.181-07:002016-07-05T02:47:52.181-07:00Hard to describe the hope-filled glow this post gi...Hard to describe the hope-filled glow this post gives me. Play is good. Play for its own sake is best and fiercest. I lovehow this comes off as one part engineering (how do I manage to get this done) and religion (I believe, I believe, I believe). Thanks for keeping on. You and your playmates inspire me.telliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205908556621412864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941075216083011590.post-3037692039061758742016-06-30T07:19:54.769-07:002016-06-30T07:19:54.769-07:00Kevin, one of the countries mined for gold, so I w...Kevin, one of the countries mined for gold, so I will ask them to share some with you. Thank you for your kind comments! I could have literally written a book about this experience but reminded myself of TLDR! I'm more than willing to share specific resources and what worked/didn't work. Lots worked, lots didn't work LOL. Some things worked that we didn't plan for. The beauty of it for me (after 23 years of teaching) was trying something completely new, and having the support of my admin and team of teachers. And of course, watching the kids do things that no one thought they could do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719153438721951700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941075216083011590.post-91102586971860720832016-06-29T03:36:36.948-07:002016-06-29T03:36:36.948-07:00Plus (and you'll appreciate this) I'm psyc...Plus (and you'll appreciate this) I'm psyched to make our new game board!
