    Howard Gardner: Digital Technology and A Well-Rounded Education | DMLcentral

    As digital technologies become daily staples in both our personal and professional lives, there’s been much discussion among educators and community leaders as to whether these devices and innovations could in some way be accountable for shifts in the ethical and moral make-up of contemporary society. For the last two…

    They’re Not Digital Natives, They’re Digital Tourists!

    Originally posted on Used Books in Class: To all those who claim that all students today are digital “natives,” I beg to disagree. Digital natives are defined as those people who have grown-up using technology daily beginning in the 1960s, but the term is more commonly used to describe those…

    Originally posted on sittinginthewoods: Sticking with the program, I have been out on a number of excursions into the cold, cold winter woods.  There has been no snow, which is a drag, because I was really hoping to get some idyllic snowy shots this winter…but alas, it’s either not cold…

    Reading Plato on Death Row – New APPS: Art, Politics, Philosophy, Science

    A really powerful & timely philosophical practice. Every Wednesday, I go to Riverbend Maximum Security Prison in Nashville to facilitate a discussion group with prisoners on death row and philosophy graduate students. It’s a nice prison, as far as prisons go: clean, suburban-feeling, with a soapy smell that lingers on…

    Part or Particle of God

    Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.…

    The Socratic Sign

    There comes a time when you notice that a good swathe of your contemporaries are only worth engaging in order to sharpen your rhetorical weapons. To improve your mindful practice, you must turn to those much younger who recover within you the dynamics of faith and to those much older…

    How Brewing Coffee Can Up Cognitive Dexterity « SolsticeSon’s Celebrational Servings

    A really nice meditation on the need to change the routine using an everyday example to drive home the notion. Kudos! Start seeing your actions from an outside perspective and questioning why you do what you do. In many cases, there is no reason to the rhyme, and that realization…

    Turn a life around

    The Croney Capitalism Blowout

    Originally posted on Dead Wild Roses:   Why do things happen the way they do?  Why do certain segments of society do well when everyone else is being hammered?  Some would say through being “smart” and “working hard”, but that is weapons grade bullshite of the highest order.  It is…

    Recalling This Beautiful Order

    In attempting to philosophize as a way of life, I have often “translated” many terms/concepts into a single notion that would comprehend the nuances of diverse sages across time & cultures. Whether I succeed is another story entirely. A particularly important phrase for me is “This Beautiful Order.” The term…

    A Wide World of Compassion

    I contemplate a great deal how the Great Sages & Ancestors all say so many of the same things. Comparative philosophy leads to an open embrace of all peoples. Compassion is a wide road, even if not the easiest one for us to follow. Source: google.com via Katharina on Pinterest Thanks to the Commonzense of St.…
