Amazing Visit To Brooklyn - Stumbled Across The Boulevard And Then Could Take A Ferry Up 34th St Because

Post- lecture thoughts

So a few thoughts that I had during my course session today: Should I in theory involve participants in my trail, in the trying out other audio trails? I don't think that it is feasible with my time scale, but a good thought in terms of creating a community project. Involve the community with decisions about how they want to create theirs. I feel mine is going to be driven by me in the main.

Something that was said today by our visiting lecturer kind of linked with my thoughts. She said that in terms of her education setting that it is about connecting the past to the present and it is not jut about knowledge transfer. I like that thought.

I was also wondering about referencing the visitor research that Kew Gardens did for their app - that was published in their paper entitled 'Delightfully Lost' - there may be some elements that are relevant to creating my trail - when thinking about what people like to do in an outdoor natural space - and the thought of wanting to be delightfully lost seems to fit with some of my reading on psychogeography.... still only in the initial stages and my introduction to it book!

#100happydays day 3 not really a noticing something but more happy that I think I've finished another audio trail segment.... Now to wait and see if people are happy with it :)

Very cool art lab for kids at MoMA - apparently it changes theme and activities every year...

Main news so far this month is that the Bromley HLF 'Parks for People' bid has been turned down, with the main reason being cited as the current possible development by ZhongRong Holdings . Also check out the 'Inspired by the Subway' project website, which has a page dedicated to the development...

I have just made a quick twitter update of the latest tweets in the ongoing Crystal Palace Development news...

Lovely article about the Crystal Palace Subway and the 'Inspired by the Subway Project' that I am taking part in. A lot of the volunteers have had oral history training sessions and a few interviews have already taken place. It is a great project to be a part of and I am looking forward to the development of it...

You can read my small blog post about the gathering I went to last night a this link. @funpalaces @cpfunpalace 

New volcanoes and earthquakes gallery at the natural history museum! Only got a quick look today at work but looked interesting and as if it might be quite holistic in its approach (for want of a better word!)

The Cloisters garden tour....

Behind the mask activity…. We worked up to this by learning describing words and writing words about each other. Then the kids could choose what they wrote about themselves…

Over a year ago now! Teaching at the second primary school I taught at in Vienna… The Very Busy Spider…
