Description
Imagine you're in a room, looking at a colourful grid of many different shapes spread out on a wall. There's something intriguing about it-something almost magical. There are triangles, circles, squares, stars. Each has something on it-a word or diagram. There's one shape of each colour ... placed in a strange formation ... what could the underlying pattern be? It's as if each shape is a door or window to another world; the whole display a chocolate box for the mind-a magical carriage to take you on a journey through your imagination. Get ready to embark on your very own Odyssey journey-a unique journey unlike any you've ever gone on before.
Reviews / Votes
Odyssey: Dynamic Learning System by Leon Conrad and David Pinto proposes an unusual and imaginative program of learning when schools are calling for conventionality. It is time that more experimental programs like the Odyssey grids should be supported. -- Jack Zipes, Professor of Comparative Literature and former editor-in-chief of the Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales. Guggenheim & Fulbright Fellow. The book is wonderful. Your grids help the facilitator focus the individual or group's cognitive journeys on the lessons that emerge from their deep thinking and brain storming when they start to connect randomly chosen topics ... it gives this intermediate and personal reflection more serious status than we traditionally do. Your methodology fits the philosophical grounds of cognition perfectly. It is absolutely ground-breaking. -- Alexander Sogomonov, Academic Director - Centre for Sociological and Political Education, Russian Academy of Sciences and Expert at the Moscow School of Civic EducationMore details
