Underachievers magazine...

Tomorrow I will write another blog, for now, just a funny 'magazine' I came across this morning. Enjoy here!

Activities

I've been busy with not graduating activities the last week, and with Easter there hasn't been much study related tasks either. Though, I run into a classmate in the train a couple of days ago. He advised me to use the program 'atlas' for decoding interviews. With this, you're able to get insight in the amount of words spoken - how much words correspond etc. You can download a free (not time limited) trial here

So, back to normal! I want to work on several things this week - optimizing my research proposal, and discuss this with my mentor on Friday.

Red blocks

I came across this interesting picture today about giftedness. It's from a publication of Esther de Boer and Nora Booij, who wrote 'excellentie in ontwikkeling.' It gives a clear view of how children are let down when people look at things from their own view. The english translation:

''can you give me the red block you have?'
'The RED BLOCK!!!'
''Don't whine Ivo.... you díd get a block didn't you?'
''Ivo may be really smart, his emotionally he is still behind....''
