On Giftedness:
A Documentary by The Daimon Institute for the Highly Gifted
This video is the first documentary The Daimon Institute made in 2011
on
Giftedness. Today they're looking for support for their next effort,
a 30-60 minute documentary to dispel prevalent myths about profoundly
gifted people, especially school-age children...
GTA is a FREE professional development experience designed
to help primary and secondary educators from around the globe
get the most from innovative technologies. Produced by CUE, each
Academy is an intensive, two-day event during which participants
get hands-on experience with Google's free products and other
technologies, learn about innovative instructional strategies,
receive resources to share with colleagues, and immerse
themselves in a supportive community of educators making
impact...
"If you have a gifted child, keep focused on your child’s
needs. Don’t underestimate her ability to “do it on her
own.” She needs your guidance. Advocate for her the best you
can. If you don’t have a gifted child, please don’t overlook
these children. Please don’t tell yourself or others that
these kids don’t need us or their schools. They ARE getting
left behind and they need our help. They are special kids
with special needs. It’s time we all start treating them
that way. Every child deserves a quality education. Even the
gifted child."

"In K-12 classrooms everywhere are children at risk for being misunderstood,
medically mislabeled, and educationally misplaced. Not limited to one gender,
race, ethnicity or socioeconomic group, they could be the children of your
neighbors, your friends, your siblings, and even yourself.
These at-risk children are gifted children.
Contrary to common stereotypes..."

Your 15-year-old
follows you outside to talk to you in private, and checks that no one else
is around, then starts jumping up and down and screeching! Why?
Because it's a few days before she leaves for college, and she just found out that
her faculty advisor is also teaching her Calculus III course, AND doing
research on P-adic numbers systems!!!! -- Carolyn "what kind of number
systems?" K.
A sitter reads a story to your 2-year-old, with the words, "There was
a blizzard outside, and it was snowing," and he comments, "That's
redundant."
Your
homeschooled 12-year-old gets an A on his first college test and then
comments, "I suppose I'm in trouble--now that you know I've been
underachieving all these years." -- Norma
Your 18-month-old walks from the garage saying "all done" with a
screw driver in hand... and a wheel from the tricycle in the other. (yep! I
got pictures and 2 neighbors as witnesses...) And yes, she took it all
apart.
...When you
find "annular
frivolity" on your grocery list. Okay, mine are 19 and 16, but still, I had
to go look it up! -- Joni (Editor's note: click for your hint!)
You are thrilled to discover that you can negotiate with
your child at 15 months! Until he starts negotiating back at 18
months.
At lunch at a semi-fast-food restaurant, my 14-year-old
commented that the new cornbread isn't as good as the old cornbread. I
pointed out that it seems to be the same recipe, just a different shape.
That's the problem, she pointed out - it's got more surface area but less
volume than it used to. And she proceeded to set the volumes equal,
and calculate the surface area of the old brick-shaped cornbread vs. the
surface area of the new semi-spherical cornbread... Isn't this how all
young teens spend their lunch hours?? -- again, Carolyn K.
My not-quite-3-year-old likes using homonyms as a way of
giving me a hard time -- if I say I need a stamp, she'll ask, "Stamp? Like
with your feet?" and I'll say "No. I need to mail a letter." "A Letter? You
mean like A, B, C?" and so on. -- Donna
I took my
daughter to her 4-year-old check up. The pediatrician started asking her
developmental questions, pointing out letters both upper and lower case for
her to identify. Then the pediatrician asked my daughter if she could
count to ten. My daughter looked her right in the eye and said "Well, yeah,
I'm very intelligent!" The young intern who was working with the
pediatrician busted up laughing and asked the pediatrician
"Well, does that answer your question?" -- Julie

Sometimes it's not a matter of making the best choice for your
child's education this year. Sometimes it's simply the least-worst choice
you can make. Here's an easy method to distill all those factors, and make
the least-worst choice you can for this school year...
Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a
disability--often ADHD or an Autism Spectrum Disorder--leading teachers and
parents to overlook the child's talents and focus solely on his weaknesses.
Too often, these children get lost in an endless cycle of chasing diagnostic
labels and are never given the tools to fully realize their own potential.
Bright Not Broken sheds new light on this vibrant population by identifying
who twice exceptional children are and taking an unflinching look at why
they're stuck. The first work to boldly examine the widespread misdiagnosis
and controversies that arise from our current diagnostic system, it serves
as a wake-up call for parents and professionals to question why our mental
health and education systems are failing our brightest children...

Do you have a Verizon FIOS network in your house? There are cell
phone / tablet apps to "generate" the default key for your house... that is, for
someone ELSE to generate the default key that came with your router, and that
you're likely USING!
The VZ Wi-fi Connect app claims to do just this. It says it cannot generate the
key for all Verizon FIOS networks, but we installed it and quickly logged into
our neighbor's password protected FIOS network. Privacy GONE.

"The inborn traits of gifted children—as natural to them as their eye
color—are what make a gifted child…well, gifted. Which is why I am so
disturbed with the new definition of giftedness adopted recently by The
National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC). Calling it “a bold
step” in her 2011 Presidential address to NAGC, Dr. Paula Olszewski-Kubilius
presented this new definition..."
Epsilon Camp, the summer program for EG/PG students who love
math, just announced it has raised the upper age limit to 11. Students attending
the 2-week (July 29 - Aug 12) camp will now be 8 to under 12 years old. Parent
workshop designed to help parents build the child's mathematical and social
maturity runs parallel to the student camp. Families live with their camper in
private suites with cooking facilities on the beautiful Colorado College campus
in Colorado Springs. Details at Epsilon
Camp
Summer math camp for Exceptionally and Profoundly Gifted
students Epsilon Camp is for 8 to 10-year-olds who like math. It is an intensive
student camp & a parent workshop - running in parallel. Epsilon Camp 2012 will
be held at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO. The two-week camp runs July
29 to August 12.
...your
almost-3 year old asks you for "homework" like her older brother has,
and you hand her a 1st grade math work book (the only thing you can find
right then that looks like "homework") and a crayon and tell her she can
draw in that. When you look up ten minutes later, you see that she has
completed the first three pages - correctly. When you ask her, puzzled,
how she even knew what to do since she can't read yet, she replies:
"There's an example on top of each page that shows you what to do. Duh."
-- Signe
My
6-year-old son came up with this restaurant joke: What kind of font do they
use in restaurants? Answer: Menuscript. -- Kathy
Your 4 year
old decides to finally show you how well she can read and write by
writing a letter to Santa all on her own in two minutes... requesting a
computer! -- Jenna
You're not a
*real* parent of a gifted child, until you've stepped on a Lego at 3 a.m. --
Shell
When your
just-turned-5-years-old simultaneously sucks his thumb AND excitedly watches
his new pre-algebra video!!! -- Heather
My son
recently lectured me on the incorrectness of using the word "empty" to
describe anything on earth, since technically unless we are discussing a
vacuum, there is air filling the space. He's 6. -- Sara
Your 7-year-old tells you, "The teachers are really nice people, all of them. And I
understand about other kids needing to learn. But sometimes I wonder - what
about me, in terms of learning?" -- Allison
My not-quite-3-year-old likes using
homonyms as a way of giving me a hard time -- if I say I need a stamp, she'll
ask, "Stamp? Like with your feet?" and I'll say "No. I need to mail a letter."
"A Letter? You mean like A, B, C?" and so on. -- Donna
Your 5-year-old
comforts you when you've got a cut by saying, "Don't worry, mummy, the
platelets will fix that."
The second time you try to use reverse psychology on your
two-year-old, she stands at the balcony, hands on hips, grinning down at you…

"Promotion [in grade placement or subject matter] of
intellectually gifted children is simply another way of attempting to match the
curriculum to the child's abilities, not to accelerate those abilities.
Accordingly, the promotion of intellectually gifted children in no way
contradicts the accepted view of the limits of training on development, nor the
negative effects of hurrying. Indeed, the positive effects of promoting
intellectually gifted children provide additional evidence for the benefits of
developmentally appropriate curricula." Elkind, David (1988)

Your almost 6-year-old asks how much longer it will be till we get there
and you answer, "we are going 70 miles an hour and it's 30 miles
away," and she says, "oh.......27 minutes."
I should have known my child was
gifted years ago when her teacher complained that she tuned out during class,
and seemed to have difficultly focusing on her work. Any parent that hands
their 6-year-old a book about ADD/ADHD to read and see if it sound like them,
should realize that their child is gifted!

Is
It A Cheetah? Since rescuing ERIC Clearinghouse for Exceptional Children (ERICEC) on January 1 2004, Hoagies' Gifted Education Page has more than doubled in size... and this year's link-check service bill has done the same, now $449/year! Hoagies' Page receives no government or private support for maintaining ERICEC, nor updating its links (nor for anything else). Please support Hoagies' Page through your individual donations, as well as your purchases through our affiliates links, so that I can go on providing the most accurate and up-to-date links on ALL of Hoagies' Gifted Education Pages. Thank you.
