The knowledge sharing toolkit looks really interesting, plan to put aside some more time to look at it. I've given it a 'recommendation' so it now appears higher in the list.

Really useful in education and very innovative. Since youtube is blocked in some countries, I wonder if there is any other way to reach this content other than youtube? Keep up good work. Best.

Thanks for your comment Lynn, I think your example of your son engaging in learning and making meaning from it last over time is very relevant to how technology can assist the learning process. My main concern with AR is that will it disadvantage some unfairly if they are do not have an A.R.S.

Thanks for the recommendation given to the kstoolkit Gráinne. This is a collaborative wiki and as such an ongoing project to collect ideas for knowledge sharing in development. I hope to be able to contribute to its development through my experiences with study and practice.

That's a good point Yasemin. The videos can be viewed and remixed from the original Xtranormal website by clicking http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6720369/. It would be interesting to know whether tools like this are also blocked as well. The advantage of remixing movies, is that you get an idea of how they are constructed. You can then adapt them, save them as your own series and share with others.

I love the thought that my future is A.R.S.!
This tech really interests me as I can see the potential for it in informal as well as formal education. I intend to try it as soon as I can get away on this trip and try the Museum of London version.
As you mention one downside is the whole 'big brother' traceability and how the information is used once collected. This does concern me but I had not thought about the whole area of whether we bother to think and retain information if we always have it available at our fingertips. From my experience with home educated children, I would not be too worried about this as they have shown me that they do retain information when the subject interests them and they are willing partners in the process. My son was telling me some detiaied stuff about nuclear reactors yesterday. I asked him where he had found that out and he reminded me of a trip to Anglesea Nuclear Reactor that we went on when he was 5 years old! That was 13 years ago so I think he was interested and it stuck!
