The Good Place

Chidi Anagonye is a philosophizing character on the American Netflix series The Good Place.  As he is explaining some of the philosophical concepts to Elenor she gets lost in the information and language. I have to say, after spending my life in the dance studio communicating with children, I feel a bit like Elenor right now reading about ethics, aesthetics, Aristotle, Plato, Kant, and Hegel. 

I do sense, as I mull all this over and find out how it relates to theories in my own professional practice,  that clarity in some sense is just on the horizon. Yet, as I converse with my husband and children about the topics we are discovering and delving into, I had a giggle at the analogy of my situation and Eleanor's. 

Back to investigating. :)

    Hi Sheahan, I don't usually watch series but I get your feeling and philosophical inquiry. I am so curious about the resources you are using for these philosophers. Take care

ZOOM - MDX account access

 Hello MDX Team, As many of you know, as I prepared my inquiry for Module 2, I was asking about setting up a ZOOM account with MDX for my interviews in Module 3. I asked in our What's App group and received some great ideas. I did follow advice and created my own account using my MDX email, however, I then realized the free personal account has its limitations. Limitations that would not work for group interviews. Now I have made a discovery I want to share in hopes of helping others find and use the MDX ZOOM account more easily.  Here is how I set up my ZOOM under the MDX licence using my MDX email. There are settings already chosen and locked by the University but there are lots you can personalize.  When logged in to your MDX student account, click on My Learning Essentials.   On the right-hand side in a column is the list of Online learning - useful resources . Yes, they are useful resources!  In that list, you will see Zoom and newrow guides . Click that....

PPP Induction Meeting - Updated

What a great way to start off my Friday morning!  Thank you, everyone, for turning on your cameras. To see so many fellow artists from around the world encouraged me for the months ahead, and how I may be able to learn from you all. I am missing personal interactions, so it was wonderful to glimpse my new colleagues' real-time animated faces.  I just figured out how to get the Follow button on my sidebar . After more research I believe I have fixed the problem. To follow, click Subscribe and then it should give the follow option. I hope it works this time. Now I am going to explore, read more, and learn about what is to come from those who have foraged ahead and blogged about it. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. Enjoy your weekends :)
