Service, morning, one-on-one help (I don't do it)

A new comment on the "Service" page, following a request in The Big Book of Unschooling.
http://sandradodd.com/service

Art added to the article "Morning." Some of you will recognize it from a magnet at your house.

This page will be only very rarely used, to link as a response when someone e-mails me a long problem. It says I don't do one-on-one help, and offers alternatives and links.

Read a little…, Quotes, French translations

New page: Read a little, try a little, wait a while, watch.
http://sandradodd.com/readalittle

Added some "found quotes" to my notes from a talk I gave in 2012 at the HSC conference in Sacramento.

Screentime…. Seriously!

A new rant on "screentime" by Roxana Sorooshian

…and because the original page was full, something new by Pam Sorooshian on a new index page:

About Videogames—SERIOUSLY (new writing by Karen James, with links to books on learning)

Being with your children in India, or Colombia, or wherever they are

This page isn't new, but wasn't announced when it was. Pushpa Ramachandran, in India, wrote something beautiful which I quoted in Just Add Light and Stir. Ana Paulina Maya, in Colombia, translated it to Spanish.

I was interviewed in Spanish on December 3, 2013, by Maria José Cifuentes, in Spain—the video has English and Spanish both, translated by Yvonne Laborda (Spain) and assisted by Ana Paulina Maya (Colombia). That video is here:

When I disappeared (I will reappear), it was because the electricity went off at my house! Bad timing. I ran around seeing if I could restore the circuit, but found it was not my fault. It came back on in about ten minutes, and the modem seemed to take forever to restore. :-)

There is more in Spanish on my site here: http://sandradodd.com/spanish.
I'm grateful to those who have translated their favorite quotes and articles.

Interview in Lisbon newspaper, Jobs list, Scooby Doo

It's in Portuguese, but anyone can read the pictures. :-)
Online version (not on my site): http://www.dn.pt/revistas/nm/interior.aspx?content_id=3511700
PDF of newspaper pages: http://sandradodd.com/portuguese/InterviewSandra2013.pdf
And both links have been added here: http://sandradodd.com/portuguese/

This will be an ongoing project, but it's a list of jobs, with a link to skills and abilities, still a-gathering:

When I was going to link a Scooby-Doo-related page on Just Add Light, I noticed there were several, so I've made them an index page:

Knowledge, Misconceptions, Marta Pires

All new pages:

"Of your own certain knowledge…" Beyond trust or faith, there is *really knowing.*
http://sandradodd.com/knowledge

Equívocos sobre o Unschooling (a translation of Misconceptions about Unschooling)
http://sandradodd.com/portuguese/misconceptions

And that seemed to require a link to the translator, so...

Reality, unavailable alternate universes, and TV dangers

These links have all been announced here over at various times over the past year and a half, but the reality TV page has new writings. These three had not been previously all cross-linked or grouped. They all have to do with disorted reality, ideals, and wishes. The ideas here aren't so simple, but awareness of their existence is good!

Would you rather live in a stone-age village? Early 19th century sod house?

Unschool World, another sort of alternate reality
http://sandradodd.com/unschoolworld

This page was new in July 2013, and has new information, in the righthand column
Potential problems with Reality TV and unschoolers

The photo is by Bea Mantovani, and links to "Where and why, gradually gathered."

Deschooling mitosis—deschooling splits and grows

http://sandradodd.com/deschooling/
I had a page called deschooling, but it had become crowded, and when someone wrote something great, I had no great place to put it.

Now, there are several pages in a deschooling section. The new writing, by Rachel Marie, several quotes, and lots of links, are here:
From that, one can arrive at the original page, stripped down quite a bit:
http://sandradodd.com/deschooling.html
Also, to a newly created page with previously published writing by Robyn Coburn and Joyce Fetteroll:
http://sandradodd.com/deschooling/robyn.html

And from the old page, now not the main page, is one more:

Neglect, "unschool world" and mechanical music

"Cheery Neglect"—Karen Lee asked about that phrase, which she remembered from a quote but couldn't find. Others quickly helped locate it. It seemed good enough to put on its own page.
http://sandradodd.com/neglect

Some people want to live with and around unschoolers, rather than in the real world around them.
http://sandradodd.com/unschoolworld

Mechanical Music—old, new, soothing, inspiring. Engineering, history, art.
http://sandradodd.com/music/mechanical.html

A calliope brought to Hollycombe Steam in the Country, July 2013,
for a gathering of steam-powered and hand-cranked or wind-up musical instruments.

Change, Help, Pets

New on "Thoughts on changing," by Karen James, second on the right:
http://sandradodd.com/change/

And on another change page, additions from the writings of Tam Palmer and Colleen Prieto
http://sandradodd.com/change.html

Why TWO pages called "change"? Well... sometimes I forget I have a page. So I make another one. And then I can't decide which should be "the real one." They're both good. Each links to the other. A mis-matched set!

A few updates to the Help page:

Two photos moved from a defunct lyrics game page to the pets page:

Minecraft imitates life; Daily Inspiration

A girl made a block tower, and her brothers copied it in Minecraft:
http://sandradodd.com/minecraft

Well over 1000 snippets to make a moment better, and each leads to three more.
I missed the three year anniversary of Just Add Light and Stir, but I didn't miss keeping up with it! Others have begun to offer up their photos, and that makes it richer and bigger than ever. Go for an explore! Even if you're subscribed, there are probably some you missed or have forgotten. If you don't subscribe, it's simple and it's free:
