Senses

A child wearing a blue striped shirt is stacking colorful, illustrated blocks. The blocks feature various cartoon animals and vehicles, with numbers and images designed for educational purposes. The top block has a pattern of small cars, the second block has a cartoon bear driving a car, the third block has a bear holding an umbrella, the fourth block has multiple small cars and a reindeer, and the bottom block has a cartoon hippo wearing overalls

There’s something we’re missing in the world of work and I’d not noticed it until a few things happened last week.

Firstly, a group exercise where people had to add post it notes to a flip chart. Tactile and material, the people in the room had to collaborate and then physically move to a different space.

Next, an online session where people were making notes and the suggestion they write the notes by pen and paper, rather than typed on a keyboard, would provide a more concise record.

Lastly, this article by the ever interesting Alf Rehn about haptic feedback.

How are you engaging the physicality in your learning offer, shifting presence, and providing touch and sensation?
