Anybody doing the encyclopedic knowledege program?

[heyblue41]

I think you really need to be able to select which audio file you want to play.  You don't want it to cycle through all ten programs each time you show the file.  The way the encylopedic knowledge program is done is that you do only 1st magnitude programs for like 500 different "bits"  then you go back to the 2nd magnitude programs.  As you increase magnitudes the information you give can relate to other categories.  There is kind of an outline you follow for each category as to what "program" you do in what order.
I have created an encyclopedic knowledge program for my great inventors 1 category but I am having problems uploading it.  Hopefully this will give you more of an idea of what I am talking about.

I think the file may be too large to upload.  It is 27mb.  What is the limit to upload?  I will try to upload just one of the files in the category, maybe that will work.

Hi HeyBlue41!

Can you kindly try uploading your category using this link?

I believe I can try trimming the file size for you a little bit so that you can upload it in our File Downloads area.

Kindly PM me once you have finished uploading the file, so that I can go and check it out.

Cheers,

Looking forward to seeing your upload, Heyblue!

We managed to squeeze in those fixes I mentioned into 1.05, so please give it a go and see if it can get close to what you need.

In fact, it'd be great if one of you could try creating an encyclopedic-style word set and share it with the rest of us! Save it as a Playlist and export it as a .pl file, so that users don't have to tweak the playback settings and will see exactly what you want them to see!

hi i have been offline for  a long period  :(bad interent connection , and i missed many of the discussions .
regarding encyclopedic knowledge , there are so many ways to present programs of intelligence which i found with my experience with my daughter a lot more fun and practical . and KL you said you don't do it with felicity but since your daughter is able to read here's a wonderful way to do the program :
you can make all the ten magnitudes into a homemade book , if it is about bats you can add different photos of bats not just the bit card and it can be done for all bits .i find it more fun to read a  book with my child  than to just read the programs of information .
anyway my hurt child loved all information in whichever input , at the end she was reading all the programs of intelligence at the back of her cards independently ( she is a speed reader ) , but for her two years old mobile sister it is challenging and books are more appealing to her

hope this can help
love

Hello HeyBlue41!

Kindly check your email to make sure that you were able to receive the optimized category file I sent you. I think you may be able to upload them to our File Downloads area now!

Cheers,

Could someone post a link on more about this method?

[nhockaday]

It is a program of the Doman method. You would have to buy his book or just read more about it here on the forums. But here is a link to his website. http://www.iahp.org/

Unfortunately I've had computer problems so havent been able to use the Little reader much, or upload anything, but when I finally do, I would have page with word, page with picture to match word, for a few words (zoology is my thing), then at the back I'd write facts to go with each word, so people can utilise them for teaching encyclopaedic knowledge.  I'm not going to ensure everything has 10 magnitudes of information.... that seems hard to do, trying to do a magnitude at a time... I'll just add what I can that's factual and people can do what they want with it. I'd find it difficult to limit buby to one fact at a time!!! (I'd find that constricting).

[heyblue41]

Okay, I have the file and have imported it into my little reader, but I am having problems getting it to play like I want.  I want it to play the audio file I select, not just a random selection.
How can I get my files to be smaller like you did?  Otherwise how will we be able to share files like this?

[KL]

Right now you can't specify which audio file will play. However, it does not play the audio files RANDOMLY, but in the order they are listed in the Edit Word dialog, where you can also change the order.

I suppose we could make it such that you could change the order of which files will be played through the preview display screen on the bottom right of the Word Library screen, where you have the left and right arrows. Right now, using those arrows will just let you see the rest of the media files attached to the word.  What if it would let you use those left and right buttons to move to select the media file that is to be played?  This would also go well with an upcoming feature we will have, which is to allow you to just play that selected word instead of the whole Category.

How does that sound?

[heyblue41]

Yes I think that would work.
Now, how do I decrease the size of my files like lappy did for me?

I was thinking...what is the purpose of encyclopedic knowledge? Is it just to give our kids as much info as possible when their minds CAN absorb it all? If so then we choose what to focus on and which topics to tackle, right? Why encyclopedic specifically?

[Nikita]

They'll be able to win big money on "who wants to be a millionaire" or "sale of the century" or other quiz shows.  They'll be able to astound their friends at trivial pursuit!  No, really, seeing as their minds are so absorbent, why not put info in there.  They wont be clogged up with heaps of facts swimming around. it will just be in there, dormant until needed.  It's not like if they have too much facts it falls out the other side of their brain to make room for new stuff... the brain just absorbs and absorbs and we probably wont use even 10 % of their grey matter but we'll be helping to make neurons grow and interconnect more with each fact they learn, and make the brain work better and more efficiently.

It will also help them in school when they're learning various subjects. Like right now I'm teaching Gabriel about states (geography), insects (science), presidents (social studies, history or government), U.S. and world animals (science), space (science), landmarks (social studies or geography, maybe even history), and dinosaurs (science, maybe history). When he learns about thiese in school, he will already know some important things. Learning will be easier.
I read something somewhere about a grown-up who's mother did encyclopedic knowledge when he was young. He found himself remembering all kinds of facts that he didn't remember ever learning.
