iste 10 - glimpses of authentic essence

very surreal meeting up with people you already know. more about that next post.

a most lovely aftermath
people being encouraged to change their avatar in order to expose more authentic glimpses of their being

i'll keep adding.. because i hope people do as well..
seth on avatars - why i did mine like i did.
first one i saw

not to get caught up in image - because honestly i love that de-emphasis online. 
i think sal kahn is very wise in his own assessment of why his academy is being used by so many.. it's a screen share - emphasis on the problem/content and most of all his thinking process - not on his face/eyes/gestures, etc..
but to see the mash-up of a best online aspect 
- connected by passion
with a best face-to-face aspect 
- glimpse into more authenticity
well - it's like cleaning the glasses of your heart. 

live is cool.
i like it.



hoping  junto (beginnings)  can amp the community/face to face/conversational piece up a bit.
just as we can learn a lot more content by swimming in it
we can learn more of value by immersing ourselves in multiple authentic spaces with people
