I loved the concept of a problemscape as a flower garden.... I wanted to abstract it one more level to the development of problemscapes as a problemscape.... and to extend the planting of a seed metaphore. Also, there is a seed that I have been thinking about for some time.... and am unsure where to plant. Could you advise me? It has to do with the idea of teaching spelling through on line ( and also real ) trading card games. Trading card games, such as Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh and Magic the Gathering, sweep the playgrounds every so often. The themes are about a card having an attack and defence value, and various properties that alter the way they can be used in battle. I started thinking about how boys in particular ( mine are now 9 & 11 ) are prone to find the "teachable moment" in the context of a battle. I was thinking of each card being a word. Words can be split into phonetic sounds. A phonetic sound is typically spelt with 1 , 2 ,3 or sometimes 4 letters ( graph, digraph, trigrah ) Also they have properties such as verb, noun , adjective etc. The game rules could be devised so that the attack & defense values of a word could be worked out from the phonetic composition and spelling of the word. Other powers could be infulenced by the properties of the word. My dream is that the game would be developed as a collaborative effort between lots of kids, teachers and software developers, under some kind of open license. Best wishes Kirsten Greed Hi Jon
