And perhaps this lack of educational benchmarks explains why, overwhelmingly, most of the apps are basically just animated interactive quizzes. The study found that 71% “contained at least one activity that we classified as a puzzle, game, or quiz. These were activities which had right and wrong answers, rather than open-ended designs.” 92% “contained some form of animation.” 45% included “interactive ‘hotspots,’ or sections of the screen that more and/or make noise when touched in ways that are not central to the game or story.”

Niels Harrit: University Not (Completely) Dead — ONE Will do WTC-7 Simulation That Will Probably Refute Government Narrative
Corruption, Government, IO Deeds of War
I wish to say a few words about the new project Professor Leroy Hulsey has launched at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. (You may listen to my statement here.)
Many of you may have wondered why all the universities and high schools have been silent about the collapse of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on September 11th, 2001. At our universities, we have a constant flow of seminars, conferences, symposia, presentations, defenses, lectures, etc., where everything is discussed in assemblies of peers.
Everything is discussed — except 9/11.
Anonymous Hacker Interview
Advanced Cyber/IO
CNN Money ran a series on hackers recently, one which had all the usual mainstream biases. There was the assumption that all hackers working for corporations were “good hackers”… the assumption that encrypted communication protects terrorists… and the assumption that there are easily-identifiable “good guys” and “bad guys” to begin with… with the government and the NSA being the good guys of course.

Tom Atlee: Listening for Change
Cultural Intelligence, IO Deeds of Peace
Good facilitation can help us hear each other in ways that free up our collective energy for change. Here is a provocative story about how nonviolence activists can use that power – and the spirit with which it needs to be used to be most effective.
Listening for Change: A remarkable essay by a remarkable colleague
Rosa Zubizarreta and I have been colleagues for more than two decades. She was part of a group in the early-mid 1990s that critiqued drafts of a book I was writing on co-intelligence. Years later, she was the driving force to get my first published book, THE TAO OF DEMOCRACY, actually written, edited, and out in the world. She became my closest companion in the realm of Dynamic Facilitation and Wisdom Councils, vital tools in both our efforts. Her masters thesis on Dynamic Facilitation evolved into a DF training manual and then into her truly breakthrough book FROM CONFLICT TO CREATIVE COLLABORATION. I recommend her Dynamic Facilitation trainings whenever I can.
