Immersion in data. And I thought I was already over my head! What would Ken Wilber say or even Timothy Leary?

This gobsmacking TED video synthesises virtual reality (and human thinking) in its highest form courtesy of the University of California. Surely the AlloSphere’s creator Joann Kuchera-Morin and her research team are giving us insights into our spiritual dimension? It feels like the AlloSphere in some way is decoding mysterious unseen dimensions-it is! To manifest the quantum in such a sensually subsuming sphere, to audibly hear molecules and to ultimately interact with them is meeting ourselves at the deepest level.

• What if this model met with augmented reality? Would we all be using it for self healing?
• Would the medical practitioner be an adventure tour guide navigating tissue landscapes helping us to re pattern our own meta data for health?

Digital Storytelling Resources — open thinking

Teacher Alec Couros sent out a tweet on his Twitter PLN (Personal Learning Network) after a student inquired about Digital Story Telling Resources. PLN responded and Alec has compiled the responses as a blog list here.

Cool example of Twitter in classroom. Another good reason for a PLN!

I’ve used “blog this” and Scribefire to cobble this post.

It’s possible to send Flickr images to Twitter too. So the results of a class/student query could be graphed to fellow PLN.
