                <description><![CDATA[Neil, I think its interesting that you looked at a potentially non-example of a posthuman pedagogical tool. Thanks also for the helpful PDF to get a feel for what the tool does in use without us having to register on yet another site.

I think I agree with you that I would not see it as going beyond the current human frame of mind and things very supportive of how our brain has probably worked for millennia.  But that's not to say its not  useful and helpful device.]]></description>

Obviously our reach in such collaborations is greater in an internet connected world. Does collaboration together in this fluid way means posthumansim?

                <description><![CDATA[Daniel, I think Augmented Reality is a great choice to illustrate the posthuman pedagogy possibilities. AR augments the human sensors and reach, so we can argue it gives additional facilities beyond the unaided human,.  And the examples you quote like the Londinium app show some of the education potential.  The provision of meta data about places, objects and people around you through AR I think will be a big thing.  And as you say it will be accessible to a lot of people via simple devices they may already carry like a mobile phone.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I might argue that the information is triggering a response in your corporeal enclosure. It would be a different response in another body with different properties, but the information itself might be the same. It could be passed on and experience by exciting the right receptors and chemicals in another body without that body being physically present. I understand that you can train pain responses out of a body, and feel it differently depending on a wide range of environmental factors, including under the influence of pain killing drugs.

I am not saying that the body does not provide a "context" for acting on and responding to the signals. But would argue that this can be felt remotely and potentially by robotic systems.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I think our "embodiment" does give us a "context" that it is difficult to escape from... let alone our cultural indoctrination.  But we can try.  I thought it was disappointing that some authors who argue the value of embodiment did not take on some sort of argumentation like that rather than just making culturally narrow assertions.  Maybe there is such literature?

I do think we are equipped with a brain that allows us to creatively "project" our identity into another frame of mind. This is something I am exploring in my EDEDC final assignment.  You can take a peek at http://atate.org/ai/pi/ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I am with you on this Neil... humans and other species use tools, connect with the environment, and relate to others in small and larger social settings. We just have a little more reach with today's tools and communications methods.  But this is nothing probably compared to what will come.  Essentially for humans its just more of the same basic buildings blocks our currently evoloved wetware gives us.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Thanks Sian.

But let me push one step further... as I did not buy Katherine Hayles "argument" (I would call it a simple "assertion") and I thought she was offhand in her remarks on "how... was it possible for someone of Moravec's obvious intelligence to believe...". I did not see a rationale for her dismissal of other thinking that seemed to go beyond her own asserted viewpoint.

I would have preferred to see some argumentation from her on how the "context" of a "body" provides some defining characteristics for how knowledge is used when so embodied. That could have been interesting with respect to education in both face-to-face and distance learning forms.

By discussing an embodied context for knowledge she might have been able to argue what is it about a (human or animal) body that means it can uniquely carry something that another device cannot?  If the "information" is "stored" somewhere whether its in mushy grey matter or a computer, or in transit between communication devices... does the information still exist?

I agree with you on Frozen Planet.  Stunning photography... the narwhals images were really fantastic... but David Attenborough's narration this time is not the best.]]></description>

I liked the thread about what it means to be a member of a community like that, and the whole issue of anonymous posts, etc.  

But having been on the receiving end of a couple of truly inappropriate requests for FOI ... which I contended was all publicly accessible information already,. but was told we must respond to... I think its ridiculous to allow requests for collated information to be prepared with much time wasting just to hand over to people who cannot be bothered to look it up,. or want it collated effectively free for them when doing research, preparing an article, or just wanting to cause work for the target organisation.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I take that point David. And I think a lot of these authors do like their cute slogans.

One of the readings tries to make posthuman be a relationship between humans and the environment. I was thinking about  many native societies which have a much better symbiosis between themselves and their environment than we have.

I wonder if the bronze age people might have thought of themselves as posthuman compared to the stone ages folks :-)]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Thanks Grace.

I have a very strong recollection of visiting an elderly relative in a care home long after she had lost her sight. But she coped very well in a nice area in the Lake District and I am sure had many memories of her earlier time in that very lovely area.

But what struck me as we spoke and had a cup of tea with her was when her talking clock spoke out the hours of the time. She perked up and clearly related to this device.

I have thought of that a number of times since, especially related to discussions of companion robots for the elderly.  

But now I think about it I see my our aunty and her speaking clock as one of my first experiences of posthumanism.]]></description>

I did not really know what a virtual choir did, so I watched the Virtual Choir 2.0 “Sleep” YouTube video via your link. It was interesting to see everyone involved and all looking mighty serious. The “ring world” of images and cluster connections for the visuals was very effective.

The observations about people’s involvement made for interesting reading. I like this sort of “community of interest” which might perhaps a better phrase than “community of practice” which you explored.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Nice area to explore Geraldine... is this the right place to post comments, so I don't have to register at timetoast - I have quite enough user names and passwords already!

I did not really know what a virtual choir did, so I watched the Virtual Choir 2.0 "Sleep" YouTube video via your link. It was interesting to see everyone involved and all looking mighty serious.  The "ring world" of images and cluster connections for the visuals was very effective.

The observations about people's involvement made for interesting reading. I like this sort of "community of interest" which might perhaps a better phrase than "community of practice" which you explored.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I have been exploring the many facets of your ethnography Anna.  Thanks. 

The observations on the existence of a number of other persistent sites for community information beyond the twitter chat sessions is interesting... as I assume both sync and async elements are needed for any good long lived community like this.

As with some of the other studies its clear that many of these communities act as a social network for things far beyond their core advertised field of interest. People make connections in a community and then go beyond the initial interest area as they communicate and share.]]></description>
