Yeah, well a pretty long title. Currently I'm engaged in getting acquainted with the wondrous world of Role Playing Games. I'm really enjoying it - if nothing more comes out of it I'll have become acquainted with a great hobby - but it could also signal a host of interesting approaches and projects for education.... currently there is a discussion starting in Iceland about how university students (and secondary school students too) seem to be alienated from there studies and do not seem to be really engaged. In this interesting article by Sarah J. Mann one of the solutions to this could be more play and creativity in the schools and academia. Well.... gaming seems to be an excellent way to approach that.... In my opinion tabletop and live role-playing seem to be a far superior solution to video games...
So, gaming, philosophical debating, dancing and active research would be the order of the day in my dream school....
