American Go E-Journal Janice Kim to Teach Workshop in Northern California This Weekend Go Teaching Project Takes Root in Brazil This Week’s Go Calendar: Sacramento and Menlo Park Go Camps Offers Study & Fun

Janice Kim to Teach Workshop in Northern California This Weekend Jun 18, 2012 03:00 pm | Roger Schrag Janice Kim 3P, popular go teacher, go blogger, and co-author of the Learn to Play Go book series, will teach a workshop in Berkeley, California this coming weekend, June 23 and 24. Those who signed up early turned in game records for Kim to review before the workshop so that she could tailor the discussion topics specifically to students’ needs. “Course materials and game records will be provided in both print and electronic format so that students can take notes and annotate records on mobile devices or with pen and pencil,” reports organizer Roger Schrag. Seats are still available, and the deadline to sign up is this Friday, June 22 at noon. Class size will be kept small so that everyone can get as much individual attention as possible. Learn more about the workshop and sign up on the workshop web page.  Photo: Janice Kim lectures at the 2012 Cotsen Open; photo by Chris Garlock. View in Browser Go Teaching Project Takes Root in Brazil Jun 18, 2012 01:11 pm | Paul Barchilon The Caroline Campelo Cruz e Silva School in Palmas City, Brazil, has launched a full go program for kids, reports teacher Luciano Sanches Teixeira. Recent changes in organization and curricula at the school opened up space for new teaching activities, including a room equipped for teaching chess and checkers. “The first contact with go came about through research about (chess and checkers) on the Internet,” that led to the discovery that “there was another game, an oriental game played with glass spheres on a wooden board,” says Teixeira. The school received its first go board in 2010, and while the initial interest was sparked by curiosity about an ancient game, Teixeira says that go “gained our attention thanks to its relationship with mathematics.” In addition to the calculations required for playing go, “We also think that looking at the different shapes built on the board and dealing with the delicate stones could also help develop motor coordination and laterality,” which are both important in the literacy process. This year the school launched a project to teach go to all students, for two months the students had go lessons, and “We also offered workshops after the regular classes, where students had access to the game of go throughout the school year.” The go project  aims  to promote the game in the school, as well as to support the development of logical thinking. “We present basic math in a fun and exciting way, and stimulate organizational skills for managing schoolwork; we encourage values in relation to the productive use of human reasoning, and promote an understanding of students roles in building a better society,” adds Texiera. Students themselves helped build the school’s go sets out of ethyl vinyl acetate, a type of rubber very popular in Brazilian schools for the construction of inexpensive teaching materials. The low cost of the materials helped promote go outside the school. The schedule of activities included a workshop teaching the basics of the game to other teachers so that they can work with go in an interdisciplinary way. It’s also hoped that since board games function as a communication tool, the go program “may facilitate the connection of our students to people from other places, other cultures and other languages,” notes Teixeira. To this end, the Kiseido Go Server will be implemented in the school computer room, so that students can use the network to play with other go players around the world. “Go is wonderful…it has changed the way I experience board games,” said student Sara Beatriz Santos Nogueira. Fellow students Junior Vilson Ferreira and Jorge Marques dos Santos Victor both fell in love with the game – Vilson says go is the best game he has ever played — and in the second week of the project they signed up for the after-school workshop. This type of positive response to the pilot project at the Caroline Campelo Cruz e Silva School bodes well for potential adoption elsewhere in Brazil, according to Abrago (the Brazilian Go Association). Because board games are still new in Brazil’s school environment, the next step will be to evaluate the project’s impact, and then to propose expansion to other schools. Project organizers credit Abrago for providing educational materials, technical guidance, and “helping further the dissemination of the work, making possible the implementation of this initiative,” says Teixeira, adding that without the support of Roberto Petresco and Everson Batista da Silva “we would not have succeeded.” - based on a report by teacher Luciano Sanches Teixeira, translated by Roberto Petresco and edited by EJ Youth Editor Paul Barchilon.  View in Browser This Week’s Go Calendar: Sacramento and Menlo Park Jun 18, 2012 01:00 pm | Roger Schrag June 23: Sacramento, CA Davis/Sacramento Go Club Summer Quarterly Willard Haynes wil...@sacllink.csus.edu 916.929.6112 June 25-29: Menlo Park, CA 2012 Summer Go Day Camp with Mingjiu Jiang 7P Mingjiu Jiang ming...@hotmail.com 650.796.1602 Get the very latest tournament information.

The books will be given out to the winners of these events, and include titles from  Yuan Zhou’s Master Play series, Yilun Yang’s The Workshop Lectures, and the Elementary Go Series. Because of the generosity of these companies, there should be more than enough books to go around, so every camper will get at least one,” adds Miller. Go Camp is for anyone between the ages of 8 and 18, and there is still time to register. The camp will take place the week before the Go Congress from July 28 to August 4 and will be held at the same location, the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, North Carolina.  Mingjiu Jiang (7P) will be the teacher. Kids who are interested in the camp, but worry they can’t afford it, are encouraged to apply for need-based scholarships, which are still available from the AGF. “We have registered campers between the ages of 6 and 18, and within a strength range of 22-kyu to 1-dan, so the camp should be a lot of fun, regardless of age or rank,” says Miller. For more information, can visit the camp website (www.gocampeast.org) or e-mail the camp directors at agagoc...@gmail.com. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. View in Browser

Acho que fiquei até emocionado de ver o Go dando certo em uma escola no Brasil :)
Por mais que eu esteja afastado do Go e da comunidade eu ainda tenho uma paixão especial por esse jogo e fico muito feliz de ver outras pessoas conhecendo ele. Que bom que vocês estão conseguindo espalhar essa felicidade por ai! Continuem o ótimo trabalho, espero que eu consiga voltar a participar da AbraGo e fazer parte desse trabalho. Há algum tempo havia viajado pensando no pessoal em varias escolas jogando Go, os beneficio que isso trariam intelectualmente e acima de tudo socialmente, é realmente gratificante ver isso nascer e começar a engatinhar =)


Abraços a todos!

Você êh dos jogadores mais fortes do Brasil

Isto só já êh uma luz que brilha e atrai e motiva os outros

Eu estou besta com esta atividade da escola porque representa um sonho se tornando realidade

Até grupos latino americanos mandaram e-mails  comentando de atividades de divulgação de go em escolas parecidas com a nossa

Você pode ajudar simplesmente lendo os e-mails da Abrago e dando suas idéias quando possível 

Eu sigo sonhando com a idéia de copiar o modelo de sucesso que implementou xadrez na rede escolar brasileira

Basicamente precisamos

A) uma tese em pedagogia demonstrando estatisticamente que o ensino de go na rede escolar reduz a evasão escolar (ensino como matéria complementar ou optativa igual se faz hoje c o xadrez)

B) após esta tese estar concluída precisaríamos qualificar professores para ensinar Go nas escolas.  

C) êh preciso pagar um pouquinho a mais para os professores da rede escolar que se dispuserem a ensinar Go (que se qualificarem para isto). Algo que já se faz com o xadrez

D) neste momento pessoas como

Você e o Thiago passam a ganhar do estado para ensinar Go em tempo integral algo que já ocorre no xadrez.

Eu estive na casa do Mauricio Engoroff (nome pode estar errado) em Maringá ele ensin xadrez nas escolas em tempo integral e êh pago pelo estado para fazer isto.

Além disto tudo teríamos que criar federações de go em pelo menos 3 estados brasileiros e com isto em mãos criar a confederação brasileira de go escolar (exatamente como

Já se fez no xadrez) 

Então êh possivel pleitear verbas púbicas

Pará por exemplo estabelecer o rep brasileiro para ir no world mind games 

Ou ainda para imprimir material de

Ensino de go em português e espalhar para os

Professores (este tópico tentei fazer em 2008 com ajuda da universidade fed do parana mas parou numa gaveta do congresso sem verba para imprimir (foi o cadernos cinfop)

Eu e o Éverson estamos parados sem abrir a Abrago enquanto pessoa jurídica por falta de verbas e tbem falta de um plano completo de trabalho

Segundo o

Presidente da American Go Assoc. Precisaríamos ainda obter apoio financeiro de

Empresas orientais via propagandas etc para seguir adiante.

Algo que poderia ser fácil se por ex imprimíssemos um

Livro sobre go e nele colocássemos os

Logos de quem nos

Patrocinou

Eu admito que fiquei bobo de ver a classificação final do torneio nacional de go em que se vê junto ao nome de cada um a bandeira de seu estado.

Alias

Parabéns ao Thiago que foi o campeão brasileiro (se o esquema formal estivesse estruturado isto o qualificaria para disputar um torneio internacional como rep do Brasil)

e parabéns ao Éverson que se esforçou para tornar tudo possível (sem ganhar nada com isto)

O mais legal e ver um sonho dando esperança de ser um dia concretizado 

Roberto
