“What I mean is that image makes it possible for the visual apparatus to interrogate itself and thus acquire a previously unavailable sense of perceptual awareness.”(Malafouris, 2o4)

In Week 8 it became apparent to me that there were some people in our class that were having troubles with the book ‘How Things Shape Mind’, while others in the class seem to be fully grasping the concepts of the book. One of the students that was having trouble asked me for help with chapter 8. I was able to help them understand some of the concepts in ch. 8 better then had they had previously understood. And isn’t this what the Maker Community is about people with diverse strengths and abilities come together to teach and learn from each other to create amazing things.
