This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Today I heard from the Scientific Committee of the Crafticulation Education Conference, Helsinki, Finland that my abstract for a presentation on the use of student-made tools to develop enthusiasm for learning was approved, so I am officially invited to present if I am able to arrange to attend in late September. Unlike major universities that have budgets for international travel, my small private school in Arkansas is dirt poor, and I will have to travel on a shoestring. I'll be looking for grants to help me on my way.
