Evidence of True North: Talking about humor, what is its place in our classrooms?

[|AutumnBangoura] says:
We noticed that the comments made on our photos in "el silencio y la voz" were mostly related to humor. Several jokes were made, followed up by inquisitive questions related to silence and voice.

The pattern of humor in the comments was clear. How does humor play a role in thinking together in communities? Lowering the affective filter? Having good old fashioned fun? Relaxing?

What do you think?

I noticed that I was more carefree with my reactions to pictures and interactions with people who had already responded...do images take the burden away from over thinking? Are we so comfortable with these design forms that there is more room to relax? Less tension? What would Bakhtin say? WWBS? ||

Underlying Messages
I love the title! Are we all reading the same underlying message? Perhaps to a degree? Did you ever feel like you were left out of a joke?

Great question! I think I was on such a high commenting on as many pictures as I could that I didn't feel left out because I was trying to start comments. It was a blast though to go back and see what others had commented after me! Now that you've asked this question...I'll be thinking about it....because there are definitely times I am clueless. :)

Tólerance
|| || ====[|Akirbz] says:== Tólerance (I'm pronouncing it with a French accent, of course)...what a word full of meanings...Is it the same for any one person? I'm thinking about how subjective that word is...tolerant of the heat vs. tolerant of opposing beliefs and values...

Yes, but there is still the theme of acceptance...of acceptance of something that can be constured as negative by some...

Notice in the poster called Tolérance in this group. In the background there are people throwing pavés (stone "bricks" ) at each other. This indicates, to me, that there is still work to be done. ||  ||
