Last week we talked about portraits. This week we are venturing into the world of self portraiture. What is it that makes a self portrait work?
Follow the link and build your own self portrait. When it is completed put it on your blog.

In defence of politics ...

I was reading the Sydney Morning Herald and came across this article where Andrew West reflects on changes in politics in more recent decades.

That is, they brought into the state's law-making body a rich array of insight, hardship, experience and, yes, occasionally privilege.

Have a read and a think, this time I want you to make a comment on the webpage to share with all the world. Andrew concludes:

We have lost this representative character in our politics but we still have no better system to reflect the popular will.

Do you agree?

Attention Matthew and Ralph...

Was checking out what has been happening in teach and learn online over the past couple of weeks. I came across an interesting debate about Croquet, it looks pretty exciting - have a peek and let us know what you think.

Croquet is a combination of computer software and network architecture that supports deep collaboration and resource sharing among large numbers of users within the context of a large-scale distributed information system. Along with its ability to deliver compelling 3D visualization and simulations, the Croquet system's components are designed with a focus on enabling massively multi-user peer-to-peer collaboration and communication.
