| Remarks: |
|
| Which “search” is used here? | For now, we use the standard WordPress search widget. (wp_widget_search is implemented in the file widgets.php within WP_includes.) |
| Why did you choose it? | It’s the default, and it works as needed for simple literal strings. |

| Remarks: |
|
| What’s “behind the button?” | The WP Plugin in use is PrintFriendly.com’s “Print Friendly and PDF” plugin, v.3.2.5. |
| Why did you choose it? | By me, it worked best with the mix of documents at NLCSA. Even better, the interface can be made as simple as a single button and located in the expected page locations. It’s free at this basic level — for which we pay the price of having google-type adds displayed while the formatting and printing is underway. Also, I was pleased at the thoughtfulness of the firm permitting new visitors to try out the conversion to PDF files on their website. |
As of May, 2013, there were 1057 items tagged in the NLCSA database with some set of the 275 different tags. The distribution of assigned tags provides an overview of the contents.
The tags assigned will change in the future, especially with the extension of tagging to videos and the addition of more video materials. It is also quite likely that some judgments about the appropriateness of tags to specific data items will be changed. That said, nonetheless it seems worthwhile to extract these numbers from the SK Multi Tag plugin facility. (You can verify any of these numbers by hovering your mouse over the tag in the left sidebar.)
Of the 1055 data items, 916 are tagged as vignettes; 177 video clips are mentioned (some in text, as a cross reference). Eleven items are based on recall and 9 are speculations.
Distributions of Tags for Time:

Seymour’s 1988 Talk at Purdue can be seen at Revaluation of the Concrete.
NB. this post calls 11 video clips, and takes time to load completely.
Coming to MIT to study Artificial Intelligence with Minsky had the wonderful side effect of introducing me to Seymour Papert, Marvin’s colleague and co-founder of the AI Lab. My research studies began in Seymour’s Logo Project, the “Childrens’ Learning Laboratory.” As I integrate all my studies, it seems appropriate to share with anyone interested some photos and video clips from that common past. The two children who joined me at the lab, eventually, met a wise man who very much enjoyed the pleasures of everyday life.

Example3 shows how one might use this tagging system and these tags to explore the contents of the LC3 datacase. The tags were assigned by the Analyst (they can be modified only by a user with editing control of NLCSA contents; if you have suggestions, send email to RWLawler@NLCSA.net). The tagging system is the Word Press Plugin, SK Multi Tag. Without full set operations, the plugin is nonetheless useful in providing the equivalent of intersection of tag-determined sets. The specific example developed below is how to explore the vignette collection for information about the infant’s language development as she approached two years of age.

The method discussed here, SCPP (select, copy, paste, & post) was a backstop in place while I tried to figure out a real solution that discussion-group use of these materials required. It has been replaced by the method of Posting Linked Data. For THAT purpose, this document is obsolete (4/23/2013). See the replacement as Example4 or click on Example4 in the Examples list of the right sidebar.
Example2 shows how an archive created by choosing two tags (Y1 and Lng) can be turned into a post. Notice that tags and active links are no longer functional after copy and paste operations. Consider this paragraph as a “typical introduction” to such an archive. Given the focus on early language development, here it is appropriate for an author to insert a link to a short note on the Analyst’s stance with respect to language learning:

| Questions you might have: | As a Visitor: |
| Can I read these materials without signing up? | Yes. Our intention is to make these materials accessible and useful. For that reason, the search facility and tag system is also available to visitors. |
| Can I use search, tags and menus to look at other stuff? | That’s what they’re there for. Go ahead! Check out the post “Tagged Data” in the right sidebar for definitions of what the tags mean. |
| How do I comment on a page or a post? | Is there a comment box at the bottom? If so, you can add a comment. For example, under the drop-down “Welcome” menu, click on NLCSA. Type your message in the box. Provide your name and email address. Click on “Submit” |

| Notes on Issues, Questions, Possible Studies: | Relevant Resources: |
| Primary Research Goal: trace in detail the transition of learning from a side effect of behavior to processes of reflexive self-construction. Primary Research Agenda: interpret LC3. (For detail, see LC3c Analyses.) -track language skill & knowledge development -track spatial skill & knowledge development -track other skill & knowledge development -seek levels of description at which tracks of development can be related |

| Plans, Goals, Objectives, Aims, Completed Work | Next Review planned in October, 2017 |
| Content Management Systems Usage This web site is my current attempt to construct a Case Analysis Support Environment. See CASE and The Notion of a Datacase for further discussion. The content will include the information I have collected in my case studies, including the video archives, ascriptions of knowledge states and interpretations of learning experiences, and local theories made about those learning experiences. |
It is my further intention to use the facilities of public comment through web logs to foster collaboration with colleagues interested in critical or constructive use of these materials. The objective is to enhance the credibility of case study as a method. |
| Work In-Process: updating June, 2017 | Approaches and Decisions |
| Revivifying the Agenda: Review the state of the site: – decide what is still adequately sound – decide what needs repair immediately. – decide what modifications can be done later. Plan further development: – what resources need be added or filled out. – what analyses to pursue, when, and how. – what developments could be usefully modeled. |
Evaluation Control and Planning Issues: Develop evaluation checklists by indices – begin with menu specified directories. – use “immediate repair” criteria to generate task lists. – use “later modifications” as component of future plans. Push evaluation into sub-indices as needed. |
| Earlier Work In-Process: in limbo since research interruption | Approaches and Decisions |
| Progress has begun in modeling by returning to classical AI roots, but the results are modest, limited now by personal and circumstantial constraints. The intention is to employ similar simplification in modeling the contexts and behavior of LC3, the infant Peggy study. | COUNT: One Selfridge Model is not yet public, pending revisions in September. |
| General plan and schedule: method for analyzing video clip threads Method:DNS echo-transcription to generate episode-texts from videos; install texts in video clip notes. Link-episodes for analysis √Method: use digital recorder for read text/commentary. √Next: use DNS for voice to text processing √Format & install in Word Press editor. See first example: LC2bT1 READING SKILLS √develop method to tag panes (clips) within panels (pages) ~continue video processing, as background activity -plan on beginning analyses/interpretation early in 2014. |
decision:use DNS speech-to-text as input clipNote formats installed for 11-12th quarter videos: e.g. panel P146 ~eg.LC3cA63 Ring-Tower Mastery Thread. √hardware purchased,software installed:12/2013 ~training & testing completed, Jan 2014 Test by reading two pages from CECD. Formatting embedded in voice record. HTML added in Word Press installation. |
