This is my picture for week 3 of e-learning and digital cultures.
It's the "digital human" Charles Lagendijk.
I made this picture with www.gimp.org out of 3 pictures.
About the picture:
This is Charles Lagendijk (famous Dutch painter) "digital self", question is: what is human? His vague physical image in the background, the representation of his "self" in his work or eventually the QR code on the foreground.
It strikes me that the part most digital and the least human (the QR-code) points
most clearly to him as a physical human being with the specific human trait .. creating.

Utopia? Dystopia? #edcmooc
Utopia or Dystopia...that's the question
For me in my work as a lecturer I want to believe in Utopia, but a lot of my colleagues want to believe in Dystopia.
The truth I think is somewhere in the middle.
But I agree with Marc Prensky (2001), we are digital immigrants as lecturers of my age.
For now I like to use the digital environment, I want to use e-learning for my purpose, and I need your help!
For my master students of pedagogics I like to bring the big big world into theirs. Because of the fact that they all have work, a family and a lack of time, internationalisation has to be "at home".
I think of I kind of circle for master students of different universities. They can post their thesis and will receive feedback from the other students and of course also give feedback themselves.
That's were you come in, are you a lecturer at an university familiar with child psychology, pedagogics, social work or healthcare management?
Do you want to help me and cooperate in a kind of collaboration to manage a kind of circle I mentioned?!
I hope so!!! I like to believe (for now) in the utopian claim of Hand and Sandywell (2002): "Information technologies are intrinsically neutral, but inevitably lend themselves to democratizing global forces of information creation, transfer and dissemination."
