[Sigia-l] Exercises to teach IA

[Alfred Werner]

I like lowtech/off computer stuff to get people going -

How about a word association game to loosen everyone up? You start
by saying a word and each person in the room does an association
with the previous word.

Bring some boxes with balls, pieces of cloth, magazine clippings, jacks,
and other random stuff and have people put them into piles and then
justify their sorting criteria.
