Is this valuable for education in any way? I think it is.<br />Some things still seem like they are valuable to be able to recall from<br />rote memory for speed, so until we have a meat link to databases,<br />memory it is. What do you think?<br /><br />The more poignant thing to notice I think, is the comment down below by<br />djmorgan040446 that states "I like a lot of your favourites Planet<br />Unicorn but you haven't got this as one of them I notice. Considering<br />you're 16 and I'm 61 we have some tastes in common, remarkable. Take a<br />look at my favourites."<br /><br />The comments on user generated content are where I find myself spending<br />a lot of time trying to make sense of how people are natively using<br />2.0 tools of the internet- how are they coming together to communicate<br />and share what they know with each other? Is this is where sense making<br />in a community happens? I present this one as fodder for anyone<br />looking for ways which technology helps us bridge generation gaps, to<br />find common ground in mashed up media.<br /><br />Happy Hallowe'en!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15877788153586172576noreply@blogger.com0
