Here is the first meeting type,
done by creating a simple circle
and asking the children many questions
aimed at creating a connection between things they know
about concrete life and these concepts,
memory, Google, computer, internet,
which have substantially flattened everything
... kind of a Russian salad.
At one point we brought out an old computer
which they were free to explore.
They got excited, we put in on a table
and the objects got taken apart and commented,
always in the same questioning approach.
Spontaneous groups appeared,
aiming at investigating some aspects in depth.
After about an hour, the children were invited
to sit in a circle,
which they speedily did, to my amazement
because they were really enthusiastic about what they were doing
and we suggested making a survey.
They all volunteered to go to the blackboard.
Fortunately, the teachers made the selection
because I wouldn't have known how to do that.
The survey was about their habits, video games
the computer they use, tablets, etc.
In the following clip, we see the second meeting type
where the children are offered the four computer kits
and the four video cameras.
