		<description><![CDATA[Social networking, since status updates and twitter – had become indeed a "state of now" thing. The sense of immediate reach is intoxicating.

But here is the thing: the dimension of now is not really there. Now turns from "in a minute" to "a minute ago" faster then we can blink. We cling to our social networks in the constant pursuit of the illusive state of now.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ortals.wordpress.com&blog=5848523&post=403&subd=ortals&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are more topics taught today, so more class time is needed. Instead of using the growth of new topics to allow better personalization of learning by the students, there is less choice and school are actually competing on giving more and more. Enrichment is a key word in the marketing of schools and if it's not enough that we are drowning in a sea of information we are doing the same to the next generation, who find themselves skipping, skimming and unable to perform real research and exploration during their school years. We don't use the accessibility of information to help fine-tune school experience and teach the kids to reach relevant information. We simply flood.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ortals.wordpress.com&blog=5848523&post=347&subd=ortals&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's a special day today. It's my oldest daughter's 15th birthday. It's on this day, 15 years ago, that I became a mom, and my husband became a dad, and together we officially became a family, family with child....
...it takes years to realize just how much a life changing event this is.
Beyond experiencing joy and pride over the little person emerging, an adult responsibility is revealed and takes over. A new grasp of reality is happening. My father's stories, which he told us when we were kids, so full of humor and wit, about his childhood adventures in war struck Europe and all of his solo travels all done before he was 10 years old, suddenly took a turn. The full responsibility over the lives we have created is still not sinking in even 15 years later...

		<description><![CDATA[Do you go to a barber or to a hairstylist? Do you get a haircut or a hair design? Trends and fashion surely impacted the use of terminology in many industries over the years. The hi-tech arena is not different. The only thing we can say to its defense is that in many cases the evolution in terminology is accompanied by real technological developments, not just perception changes.
...
The investors are not that impressed with the new terminology. Although some treat is as "semantics only" and ignore the choice of word, others prefer it if the entrepreneurs would call their child with its proper name. That would lead to the correct market strategy, from research to penetration and management of competition.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ortals.wordpress.com&blog=5848523&post=308&subd=ortals&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...There are of course the official "learning games". A contradiction in term for kids: "You either let me play and have fun or you want me to study. Don't try to trick me", would be the kids words, even if not phrased exactly this way.

But as more social aspects get into the game play, the lesser is the need to insert formal learning curriculum into the games. 

Every game is a learning game.
