Dying Scene Nietzsche on Education ©2000 NewFoundations Nietzsche's Theory of Education RETURN edited 8/18/11 I. Your true educators and molders disclose the true original meaning and the basic material of your being, which is something quite incapable of being educated or molded, and to which access is in any case difficult since it is fettered and chained as it is. One maxim demands that the educator recognize the real strengths of his pupils at the outset and then direct all his skill, all the nourishment and sunshine, to the goal of helping that one excellence to attain real maturity and fruitfulness. Corruption. From a doctoral examination. II. Against that positivism which stops before phenomena, saying "there are only facts," I should say: no, it is precisely facts that do not exist, only interpretations.... The error of false causality. "All truth is simple." Enemies of truth. I mistrust all systematizers and I avoid them. I want, once and for all, not to know many things. ... III. Out of life's school of war.

Warhammer 40K Wiki - Space Marines, Chaos, planets, and more Consolarium September 26th, 2011 CPDConsolarium: GBL and Technologies loan service for Scottish schools Derek Robertson Over the past few years the Consolarium team has invested in a variety of technical/digital equipment that it wanted to explore in relation to how its effective and innovative use could impact favourably and positively on teaching and learning contexts in settings from 3-18 years. We have been thinking how best we can utilise this ‘cupboard of super stuff’ and how it can be out in schools helping teachers teach and children learn rather than not doing that! We have an inventory of over 220 assets that can be loaned by any teacher that joins CPDConsolarium. However, any bid that is accepted comes with a blank wiki page dedicated to that teacher and the resource that they have loaned and an expectation that the developing narrative of their experience will be documented and shared with everyone else. Some of the kit that is available includes: More September 6th, 2011 Thank you More More 2.

Serious games are just…games - Mathias Poulsen - Mathias Poulsen I keep delving into the different issues clinging to the field of serious games. I keep pondering whether or not serious games are the right approach to game based learning. First and foremost, though, I keep wondering why serious games are not better games. Serious games should be no less “gamey” than any good game out there. Let’s up the ante, raising the bar even further. Serious games should be able to go toe-to-toe with any good game out there. I recently read Serious Games “Ought to be Focusing as Much on the Gaming Aspects as on the Message”, in which Nordine Ghachi points very much in the same direction: I don’t think that serious games are under threat, quite the opposite. To get there, it’s important that we shift our focus, and design games where learning is much more as described in The Play’s The Thing: Uncharted might be an intimidating example, as developer Naughty Dog is consistently hailed for incredible production value, great voice-acting, effective storytelling and so on.

The BioShock Wiki - BioShock, BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, and more sean stewart - the beast On January 2-4, 2001, a small and very secret team met in the offices of Microsoft's Game Group to plan and design a massive, web-based scavenger-hunt/soap opera. For years Jordan Weisman had been thinking about doing a game that would be sort of like the Beatles Paul-Is-Dead mystery--an elaborate web of clues and possible conspiracies to be investigated by a huge group of fans. The internet supplied the medium--a place where you could deliver a ton of content, and be assured that players would talk about it with one another. Jordan's vision was based on a series of assumptions. 1. 2. 3. 4. In an earlier conversation, Jordan had been sitting around mulling the idea over with Elan Lee, when his phone rang. Not only would that make it cool, it would make it more real. "What's your idea of the game experience?" (Thoughtfully). These starting points, we all agreed, led to another, axiomatic premise: the Game would never admit it was a game. Ha. There was no time for careful on the Beast.

Anonymous: Because None of Us Are As Cruel As All of Us « No·men·cla·ture Do Not Censor Me: Anonymous takes the freedom of the internet very seriously by Tim Lorkovic You’re walking down a street in the city of Sydney, about to cross the road, when you see thirty people carrying placards, in capes and costumes, wearing masks and handing out flyers. One is carrying a boombox. Don’t worry, I’m from the Internet It is difficult to say what Anonymous is. Users of these boards began to refer to Anonymous as an actual person, and the running joke became a shared identity for the unnamed masses of the internet. The group is often characterised as a horde of supremely bored teenage boys, but that definition is far too narrow. Project Chanology The Church of Scientology has a history of conflict with people using the internet to critisize and expose the church. On 14th January 2008, parts of a Scientology promotional video featuring Tom Cruise were leaked onto YouTube. On the 21st of January, this video was posted by ‘Anonymous’.
