Goldie

Every since the debut of  the TV show Laugh In in 1968, I wanted to meet Goldie Hawn. I was 11 then, but what's my excuse now? 

Well, it happened yesterday. At the ASCD convention in Orlando, Goldie Hawn (black suit) and Dr. Judy Willis gave a presentation about the emotional components of learning. I found their presentation to be particularly fascinating, because, well, Goldie was presenting, and ... oh, yes, because Dr. Willis explained the neurological science behind emotional intelligence, which in turn, evidenced arguments I have been making about using social networking technologies to foster social intelligences in presentations for the past couple years. Social intelligence and emotional intelligence are two critical domains of whole child education. For more information about Dr. Willis's work, please visit Reach and Discover.
