Good book and other matters

October 3rd, 2008 by admin

Been dipping into a great book by Liz Wells called Photography: A critical introduction seems to cover Foucault, Barthes and many more and takes a postmodernist approach. More when I read more. Like it a lot.

In NZ there’s lot of talk about Second Life and its abilities and functionality for learning and teaching. There’s a BIG project underway called SLENZ which aims to develop and explore some material for teaching and learning opportunities in SL. We’re all getting excited about using it…and there are some interesting projects proposals of which I’ve seen one or two. Had a nice session yesterday with fellow SLers Isa, DanP, Lindis and Enomec……I like the collaborative and sharing nature of it and it reminds me of the old hippie days when we thought it was good to share, give and support. Hmmmm seemed to go during the 1990s so it’s good to see that philosophy return to education. Maybe the postbabyboomer generation has something to offer after all (that’s irony, of course they do).
