Home Robotics' brainstorming

Are you 'teaching' robotics, in a sense, in your company, in part, Sarah? (Am wondering how WUaS can develop 'Home Robotics" toward engineering degrees, with something like the 3 Lego Robotics' kits and MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and esp. as a Realistic Virtual Earth for Robotics develops - #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click - and eventually in MIT's educational Minecraft with Brick Street View and Google Street View with time slider) ... at the high school and college levels. What do you think? Best regards, Scott (See, esp.

Hi Nanette,

What are you doing with music these days? And do you ever find your to playing your Oboe?

Playing music toward my first Scottish Small Pipes' album presently, and both giving and taking piping lessons in Skype in the process.

Warm regards,
Scott

Hi Nanette,

Glad to hear you're all well. Teams looks interesting, as does MS's related OneNote, It seems robust and well thought out, but one still can't draw pictures easily on a computer screen with a stylus for note-taking and art-making! MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is in Google for Education, and am interested what might emerge here too with regards to Google Meet, and Teams' Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. Hopefully you and your family will be able to go hiking from home - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHiking?src=hashtag_click - in 1  #RealisticVirtualEarth and even visit virtual Harbin - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1232786005675012097?s=20. Beautiful Canyon 94516, in a forest, where I live (which I don't think you got a chance to visit :( is pretty nice while sheltering at home presently). Continuing to seek a partner to begin a family here ... :) To be seen! Playing music toward my first Scottish Small Pipes' album these days, in addition to developing World Univ (eventually in Dutch and re The Netherlands!) ... would like to be soaking more at virtual Harbin, as well as taking an occasionally Yoga course with Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten in Greece, but I'm pretty well otherwise. How are you, Nanette? Wishing you all the best in this strange time re genetics.

Warm regards, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/genes?m=0 with nearly 35 recent blog posts about the coronavirus pandemic).

PS :) Very glad to hear your  walks in the forest nearby and Reading books in the sun. Warmly, Scott

Hi Scott, yes we’re busy teaching and learning online. Our boys are following their weekly schedule of lessons, now at Teams. I am making instruction video’s for my own class and talking daily with them at Teams. Coming 2 weeks we have a holiday, but indeed: nowhere to go but at home. Weather is good, so taking walks in the forest nearby and Reading books in the sun.
How are you? How is life in California?

I first wanted to see if I could pick one book off these shelves, and read it, but not yet!

Bagpiping - Scottish Small Piping - Playing, and Learning

Well, Ma,

How are you?

I have begun playing today early, beginning around 11:30 am, and with an effective focus, I think -
practicing with inspiration - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm

(which is the very first idea here, and which I had never thought of in terms of listening to Stuart Liddell on Youtube, or in any other specific way; and here again is the amazing - "Stuart Liddell - Lunchtime Recital 2010: 4 of 8" ...

https://youtu.be/e7zvKbl1R54 )

-  per Stuart Liddell, and then 2 first Hornpipes nearly up to speed, with metronome, and toward my Honey in the Bag Scottish Small Pipes' album ... Am observing all this psychologically as well, in terms of learning. :)

Will likely play a bit more soon! How's your day going?

Love, Scott

Hi Ma,

How's your day going and how are you?

More on music-making, and learning: I had tuned each of the 2 drones separately with electronic tuner, earlier, corking the chanter and one drone, and then using the tuner for the other drone, and then for the chanter, taping both of the drones. Everything was tuned nicely to A (it's so nice to be able to play in concert A:), although I had to blow more softly with the bellows than otherwise for tuning the sound of each tube, since the other tubes were corked. My SSP were nicely tuned. But then when I played through some tunes with metronome, I observed at the end of playing 2 tunes that I was blowing a little too hard, and that had lead to a waver (meaning they were a little out of tune) again ... It's good learning with electronic metronome / tuner ... and after which I turned back to listening to Stuart LIddell for further inspiration. And soon I'll head back to recordings of all 4 lessons with Connor Sinclair for further specific learning regarding my playing and his teaching. 

What are you up to this weekend? 

L, Scott

In Kerala, India:
(in a Google Hangout)

Feb 6, 2017 

Hi Prem! Developing wiki World University and School - :-)::-) where anyone can edit and thereby teach or lran - and eventually in your languages and any language. How are you?
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/
Where are you in India too?


*


I am in INdia Kerala
tell more about
the university



*
Hello in Kerala (which I've visited). Here's the beginning CC India World University and School http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India with its CC MIT OpenCourseWare planned in Hindi and languages in Kerala too, each a wiki school which you can edit for open teaching and learning (before we move to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata/Wikipedia (and its 358 wiki languages) ... See too for example ...http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Technologies#World_University_and_School_Links


*

pl. make it clear scott. what you r expecting from me


*
I opend the site
and got no clesr idea


*
Hi Prem, Greetings from the American Friends Service Committee / San Francisco Quaker Meeting - have you ever edited a Wikipedia article in English, Hindi or Malayalam for example? On the open Wiki school side, World University is like this.
On the free, CC OCW degree side, you'll be able to study for a free university degree at World University, and eventually not only in English but probably in Hindi too.
Because WUaS is wiki, you can start teaching right now - pick or ADD a wiki subject to World University about something you love - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - and teach to your web camera, for example. Read through some of the subjects here, and what appeals to you?
What do you do? (Please remember WUaS is moving to a better wiki soon,  with a database to support it).


*
I am Qualified in Theology and Journalism. Now I am running a media firm in Cochin / India


*
Great, Prem - while WUaS hasn't begun yet a Malayalam language wiki subject/school (or ones in other languages from Kerala), here's the Hindi language WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hindi_language - as an example of where WUaS is heading, but not yet in Hindi. Looking forward to staying in communication.



*
Do you have any plan to start in Malayalam. please let me know. Another thing is I want to know more about WUaS. Apart from the website please give me more information in terms of What is ? How it function? Is it a online college? or is it a supportive hand for all universites around the globe? I have so many questions?
Please send a mail. premuesi@gmail.com
I have so many ideas to convey with you and if possible i can be associate with you in this huge project
pl let me know


*
Hi Prem, Just noticed now your email from February ... sorry I didn't notice it before ...


*

ok how thingsa are going
things are going

*

i am fine
How can I work for your your projrct
I have an idea that will change the whole world of wiki pedia


*
March 2017 

Prem,

Good to know of your interest in Malayalam language World University and School, which is wiki and CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric ...

Here's Hindi language WUaS (planned in Hindi) ...
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hindi_language
... check out the MIT OCW ... Malayalam language will resemble this ... in the Malayalam language.

And here's India WUaS ... planned in each of all 22 official languages in India, potentially as  online universities ...
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India

What's your idea?

Namaste,
Scott

through March 2017

Hi Prem!

Are you getting World Univ and Sch's monthly emails at prem....@gmail.com one of which I sent yesterday? How are you? The email list is the current best way to stay in touch. And WUaS has a new wiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - not yet in the languages of Kerala, but which is wiki-editable.

Cheers, and Namaste, Scott

Hi Aihwa (Anthropology Professor at UC Berkeley),

I just unsubscribed your email address from World Univ & Sch's monthly e-mailings.

Best Regards, Scott

PSVarious countries and languages you know will find form as universities and wiki-schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States

Hi Chloe, How are you doing in this 'shelter at home' time? Am hoping you're well. I just got a bounce-back from your Mom's email address in sbcglobal when I sent out the Agenda and News for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch yesterday evening - World University's open monthly business meeting Agenda for April 18, 2020:

- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/agenda-and-news-for-41820-open-monthly.html

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/snapping-turtle-eggs-chelydra.html

Is her email address still working for you? It's still the one listed in Reed's Iris directory too! Hoping you're well, Chloe!

Best wishes, Scott

Just exploring to see if I get a second bounce back from your sbcglobal email address, Kai, and adding my helianth@gmail.com address too.

Cheers, Scott
