Accidental Openness - 0 views

  •

Imagine how amazing it will be when the best content is published in the open where debate, conversations, and discourse happens at the micro and macro level.

Gardner Campbell Writes » A universe of universes - 0 views

  •  
    As I've carried on my work this month, I've returned again and again to the role of computers in learning. I keep trying to understand not only the subject itself, but the sources of my own fascination.
