I found this intereseting infographic about effects of Social Media. I believe that there are some huge changes going on in us as a result of social media. I have noticed a change in myself. I am not sure about some of the validity of the statistics on this infographic, but it certainly raises some good discussion. What do you think?

Can You Make it Through The Month?

I ran across an online interactive learning experience call SPENT. It puts you in the shoes of an unemployed, single parent, facing financial crisis. You are given the task of making it through 1 month on a very small budget. That budget gets added to / subtracted from as you make various decisions about healthcare, employment, grocery shopping, etc.

This is a perfect example to me of a new category of learning. Rather than presenting me with a list of information, I am asked to interact, make choices and engage in a story. As I have an experience, I use my imagination to place myself into another story. I don’t feel marketed to, yet I care about the cause of this organization. I am inspired to dream and create new approaches like this.

This amazing video was shot with a Canon 7D and edited with Final Cut Pro in 1 day.

Roger Ebert thinks it should be the first YouTube Video to win an Academy Award.

Winced as I watched this, and nodded a few times as well. What do you think? Unfair? Dead on? Reserved only for those planting churches?
