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
@mrslauer
waiting for others..
@musikmarc
don't have her old - but it wasn't a photo.. now it's marcy - yay...
oh yay... the adorable
@bethstill
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
