Logic in 100 Minutes DVD Workshop
Hans & Nathaniel Bluedorn
www.christianlogic.com
Having already used The Thinking Toolbox and getting ready to go through The Fallacy Detective with my oldest child (and having reviewed both of those items previously), I was asked to view this DVD workshop and review it on this blog. The DVD shows a taped workshop that Hans and Nathaniel Bluedorn gave at a homeschool meeting in Wisconsin. The tape is well-done and the material covered presented in a straight-forward and easy-to-understand method. The inside of the DVD cover contains LOTS of information about the fallacy material covered in the workshop. In addition, you can print off a brief handout by placing the DVD into your computer.
There are two different presentations on the DVD. The first part is about learning how to think logically, while the second part explains how to use the logic tools that you have learned to spot a hoax, reason through opposing viewpoints and produce a good scientific experiment. The DVD is geared towards ages 10-adult, although the Bluedorns state that the study of logic doesn't usually begin until age 13 when students are better able to use their reasoning and logic skills.
In my opinion, this DVD offers a general introduction to logic and should NOT take the place of studying The Thinking Toolbox or The Fallacy Detective. Both of the books offer a lot more detail on the subject and I highly recommend them. You can see a few examples from the DVD on their website - click here. While the material presented is interesting and the examples are fun, Hans and Nathaniel are pleasant, quick-witted but also a bit subdued in their presentation. This is not a bad thing, but kids used to watching crazy cartoons (yes, we still watch cartoons in our home!) or fancy, fast-paced movies may need to watch this DVD in smaller increments. My Asperger's child would probably need to break it up into 20-30 minute viewings so that he wouldn't lose interest.
Because I have a hearing impaired child, I always review items from this other perspective. Because their workshop is done using a computer program (PowerPoint?) projected on a screen, my daughter would be able to understand most of it. Due to copyright laws, the funny cartoons of The Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes and the like that are used to explain some of the logic ideas presented are NOT allowed to be shown on the DVD. However, the cartoons are read out by the Bluedorns and so the viewing audience can get the basic idea of what is going on in the cartoon.
Overall, I believe Logic in 100 Minutes to be a good introduction to the idea of why it is important to study logic and how useful it would be to have this basic knowledge. I will be viewing this DVD with my son next year before we begin the study of The Thinking Toolbox as I know it will pique his interest! However, I still believe their books are more detailed and worth the purchase! You can buy any of these items at their site, www.ChristianLogic.com.
Description of Logic in 100 Minutes
In two fifty-minute workshops Hans and Nathaniel introduce logic in a useful and fun way. Part One: Learning to Think Logically - Hans and Nathaniel show how to spot propaganda and fallacies on TV and the Internet. They introduce ways parents and students can combat illogic around them. Common errors in reasoning are explained along with recommended books for learning more about logic. Part Two: Using Your Thinking Toolbox - Hans and Nathaniel show how to look at both sides of a controversial topic and decide which is right. Logic can make boring subjects fun and memorable. Topics include: how to spot a scientific hoax, opposing viewpoints in history, and tools for scientific thinking.Bestsellers in DVD
