Hello HEALers!
I hope you are all doing well. We have class this weekend and a potluck! Remember to bring a hard copy of your body narrative and be prepared to discuss your thoughts on our readings. There are class presentations Friday and Saturday as well as guest speaker Dr. Indrani Margolin. It will be another packed weekend filled with insight and dialogue!
On another note, I was thrilled to learn that our HEAL student Paula Jaspar relaunched her Kickstarter campaign for her new anatomy app Humanatomy. The video of her app is posted above and to support her campaign please spread the news!
Here are a few other things that I'd like to share:
Nature in the City by Wendy Magnusson.
Since we are covering the body narrative, I thought Dr. Amy Cuddy's discussion on how our body language shapes us might interest you!
TED Talk: Susan Colantuono: The Career Advice You Probably Didn’t Get (especially if you're a woman!).
Helping Students Find Purpose and Appreciation for School.

Hi Jacquline,
ReplyDeleteThank-you for sharing my Humanatomy Kickstarter Campaign! I appreciate it very much! It uses the framework of gammification of education.
Best to you,
Paula
