Airoplane Mussings

Today I flew from Fort M acMurray to Calgary with Air Canada... during the flight, I decided to meditate using Kabalah "2" method... I was not able to visiualize the "2" completely although the shape was there... so the trial continues...

During the meditations, many ideas surfaced which makes sense. I will write them down for preservation:

1- I should create a weblog called "Forluay" which will capture my thoughts that I like to pass on to my son... at the same time, I will try to use the cyberworld to wiki with him... it could be a site where I can give him some hints about life.... I am working on creating the weblog as I type this post....

2- I though about the Wiki-age and its impact on creating a new educational paradigm which depnds on mass collaboration and wikinomics...

3- Is it time for education to focus on the future? Instead of teaching the past, the new educational paradign should focus on encoraging students to "re-create the future."

4- The idea of "delete your Bookmarks" as book/set of activities that prepare the new thinking methodologies which relies on "knowledge on demand" rather than "memorizing concepts!"

5- Develop set of criteria fo the Wiki-age
and how since 1985, the world evolved from Information -> Knowledge -> Digital -> Wiki-age!

I got to Calgary and the GPS on the Acer's computer was excellent... it made me reach the Hotel with only one wrong turn... impressive!

Till the next post
