You put a band around your head, which measured skin resistance, hooked it up to the back of the PC, and had to get a balloon to rise as you relaxed. Not exactly brain control, but close." I havent heard of it before a day ago so i was trying to see if you had anything written on it i want to tell you that youre a genius, how did you think of it? i think that its incredible!@ <BR/><BR/>CHeers,<BR/>LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-18129062665563905982008-07-28T12:13:00.000+00:002008-07-28T12:13:00.000+00:00While all this high-tech learning is quiet effecti...While all this high-tech learning is quiet effective it is still to be seen if this would be better than the learning that one derives in and from nature. This learning is certainly better than the formal class-based education but I have my doubts when I compare this to what a child learns just by observing his or her parents or by just being in sync with nature like: playing in mud, observing ants, earthworms or other animals. Yesterday, I had to litrally hold mysef back from making a castle all by myself as I passed a tempting wet sand pile. My daughter was not with me or I would have made a temple with a flagstaff of a branch. But how wpuld it look a grown woman making a sand castle... well that kinds tells how much the learning as children embeds creativiy. The very sight of clay or sand can flood the mind with new learing.

Sorry it has taken me so long to write. I truly enjoyed our discussion at the ADL Conf in Norway. We talked a little bit about the Canadian Defence Academy and the challenges it faces. The good news is that we have completed our SL island and in doing so I have convinced the senirs to start to develop a plan to meet the learners need in 2018. We are reverse engineering to create a 'learner centric environment'. As always external influences are always encouraged. I'd like to know your thoughts in terms of where we will be in 10 years and also discuss whether you'd be interesting in doing a webinar to address the tiger team.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are enjoying the summer season.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Bill<BR/><BR/>bill.railer@rmc.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
