"Why Second Life Can't Tip: The Power and Perils of Living La Vida Ludic"
Barry introduced the term he coined, "the ludic life," and discuss its implications for Second Life and learning. Elaborating Eric Zimmerman's argument that we have entered "a ludic century", meaning that we are now interacting with information in a ludic way. The ludic way, according to Zimmerman is not to say everything is becoming a game but rather game/play dynamics, aesthetics and sensibilities will increasingly define our social interactions. Barry argues that Second Life is a better example and, more importantly, the way in which Second Life allows users to combine their real life identities and practices within a ludic context not only makes it a powerful space for teaching people how to live a ludic life, but it also becomes the key defining characteristic of the Second Life experience.
It is highly recommended to go to www.rezed.org/group/ludiclife to watch the powerpoint while listening to the presentation audio or watching the video.
אם יזריקו חלבון של חלב פרה לדמו של אדם, איך תפעל המערכת החיסונית שלו? · תייצר נגדו נוגדנים משום שהוא חלבון זר · לא תייצר נגדו נוגדנים, משום שהחלבון יפורק במערכת העיכול · לא תייצר נגדו חלבונים, משום שבדם האדם ישנם חלבונים דומים לחלבון החלב · לא תייצר נגדו נוגדנים, משום שהחלב הוא חלק ממזונו הרגיל של האדם.
מתלבטים? לא יודעים מהי התשובה הנכונה?
יעל צורן טוענת במאמרהמי מחוסן מתחרות ? שתורת החיסון [אימונולוגיה] היא אחד מהענפים הצעירים בביולוגיה ומשום כך לא מייחדים לה את המקום הראוי לה בספרי הוראת הביולוגיה.
רוצים ללמוד על תכונותיה והדינמיקה של פעולתמערכת החיסון המופלאה באופן חוויתי? רוצים ללמוד על ננו-רובוטים וננו-רפואה . מדע בדיוני או מציאות?
רוצים להיכנס אל תוך גוף האדם, יותר מזה, אל תוך התא ולהלחם בעצמכם בפולשים הזרים באמצעות ננו-רובוטים חכמים. איך בדיוק?
