📚 Miro Community Book Club: The Extended Mind

@Colleen Curtis I’m about halfway, myself. I am excited about applying some of the learning to Miro - but I’m not sure how to do that yet. Perhaps that will be a fun book club live question to explore. “How can we incorporate movement or gestures within a Miro event or utilize Miro to ‘Extend’ the mind in teaching and learning?” Additionally, on a personal note, I am raising a child with ADHD and the points made about the necessity to move and how this actually invokes clarity and ease of learning was a major lightbulb to me. No more, “Sit down and focus” - but, instead “lets move as we learn.” I’m very grateful to have learned about this book and am looking forward to discussing it with you all, more!

Hi @Mercedes Pike - same!

I’m working on a quick Miro board that we can all introduce ourselves and leave thoughts that will help us inform the discussion. I’ll share that ASAP.

@Frankie Kok here’s the thread for November Miro Book Club, if you want to take a peek!

Also, if anyone has suggestions for December book -- please let Frankie and I know!

Hello, everyone! I’m absolutely thrilled to have been introduced to this wonderful book. It makes so much sense to me already. It’s as if every page is a happy memory tapping me on the shoulder.

What am I DOING with what I’m learning? Well, I’m assessing and clearing out space…

I’m finding ways to move around more in natural places with natural light! (Hmmm… I ought to have the audiobook so I can listen while MOVING. I’ll work on that.)

… AND I’m looking forward to extending my mind by thinking with all of you.

Thanks for sharing the thought provoking insight @Mercedes Pike. I have never thought about incorporating movement or gestures with Miro. That’s a really interesting topic to explore! Thanks for making me very interested to learn more about the book!
