I'm in the process of moving house.<br /><br />Please share your links on teaching go in schools and jail. Puedo entender espanol.<br /><br />We have a lot more experience now, so I am due for a follow-up post. In a nutshell, the older two kids have really gotten into go and have spent a lot of time on it at a local go club and tournaments in town. We also sponsored some strong players to come to their school and teach once a week, too, for the last term. Above and beyond any direct go or math skills, we have seen them develop and demonstrate a lot of great emotional management abilities, particularly when it comes to dealing with losing.<br /><br />For J3, the youngest, we haven't quite gotten past the point where it is a major problem whenever one of her stones gets captured.JGR314https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702319994021721608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544661968326910027.post-59195660697902336412017-05-09T11:09:57.859-07:002017-05-09T11:09:57.859-07:00Good! How did your experience evolve?
I prefer the...Good! How did your experience evolve?<br />I prefer the beauty of the Go board, anyway (and the geometric elements of go: point, line, square, circle).<br />There are several experiences on teaching go at schools (e.g. in Cuba) and in jails - I have references but they are in Spanish.<br />To J3 observations: if you use 4 colors, the pattern continues because you need a multiple of 4 tiles (4 sides), but the opposite corners will be same color only if the side is odd.brindishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094550708455602027noreply@blogger.com
