Sun flowers, a story #change11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
’Esse est percipi’ (Berkeley, Treatise concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, 1790, : § 3) ’to be is to be perceived’. We do make sense of the world that we perceive (connect to).

Saturday Night Sunday Morning
, Shukies Web
What a thrill to watch a play about a book last read 25 years ago, written 25 years before that and that still resonates with the power, the vibrancy, the force of being self amidst the mass that this tale of a lothario amidst the bicycle factory hell brings. On the growing oneness of diversity, that looks more and more like the conformity of the bedroom based philosopher that is the Internet it was great to see a resilient, angry yet optimistic man being unlovely yet fabulous - not in any way ....

On comprehensive exams
, Multilitteratus Incognitus
I was reading an opinion piece on the Chronicle of Higher Education this past week on Comprehensive exams. The article deals mostly with PhD level comprehensive exams, the types of exams that serve as the gatekeeper between the coursework in a PhD program and the dissertation stage. The main thesis of the author, at least what I got out of it, was that comprehensive exams seem to be looking backward on the curriculum, a memorize and regurgitate model, rather than looking forward toward a ....

Google is Not God: We Need a New Philosophy for Education and Technology #change11
Andrew Neuendorf, Andrew Neuendorf
Google is not God, but the omnipresent search engine commands an unworldly level of trust from its followers. Consider a 2007 study by researchers at Cornell University and College of Charleston, aptly titled, "In Google We Trust." Students asked to research a topic on Google heavily favored search results with high rankings, regardless of quality [...] [Link] Sun, 11 Mar 2012 19:16:20 +0000 [Comment]

The “Kony 2012 Invisible Children” Internet phenomenon

Over the past few days, a new hashtag, #Kony2012, started showing up with increasing frequency in my Twitter stream.
