Sony has launched a web based social networking map with life on ps3.
this will do make the world smaller and bring the gaming community in front of our door steps.
Some say that this is not a good idea, because now everybody is starting to know where I am and what I'm doing. You get the feeling that your under surveillance all the time.
However, I think that this has an impact on all of us, showing that it'll bring the community in a smaller range and let us know more what's actually out there.
Not speaking educationally, but as a gamer, think about how you could link with other players around the world.
In education we try to do this all the time and actually gaming has started it to became real. :)

소니에서 해버리고 말았다. 물론 엑스박스나 다른게임이 안된다는 것은아니지만 이번에 라이프를 발표하면서
PS3사용자들은 인터넷을 통해 다른 게임유저들과 같이 만날수 있는 기회를 만들고 있다고 본다.
어떤이들은 이런 현상을 보고 이제는 혼자이지 못하고 항상 개목걸이를 착용한 느낌이라고 할수 있는데,
오히려 우리의 견목을 높일수 있는 찬스가 아닐까 싶다.
물론 교육적입장에서가 아니라 게임머의 입장으로서는 방가운 소식이 아닐수가 없다. 더이상 혼자서 티비와 둘이서 고립된 공간이 아닌 다른 나라 사람과 연류되어 게임을 해볼수 있는 기회, 누구나 꿈꿔오던 그런 모습이 아닐까?
교육학에서는 이제는 소샬 즉 남들과 어우러 지내는것이 중요하다고 항상 외쳐덴다. 하지만, 게임에서는 이미 이것을 현실로 들어나게 하고 있다.
이것이 진짜 세계를 하나로 묶어가고 있는 과정이 아닐까나?

This summer, after my lovely wedding, me and my wife watched the movie "kungfu panda" Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Angelina Jolie starred as the voices of the characters. As you can see it's really a "star" member casting for the movie. I think that this movie has something more than just fun, but also it holds some reflection of the Asian thinking style.

During the movie, Shifu goes to meet Ugway to deny the election of the dragaon warrior. Panda, Poe has been elected by Ugway. They were under the peach tree and Shifu was arguing how he can't train Poe, and how he was different and impossible to be the dragon warrior. However Ugway has tells Shifu, there's nothing like an accident, there's all ways a reason to be different. Ugway also quotes that we cannot change the destiney.

Shifu denies what Ugway says and argues that he can make what grows on the peach tree and when to eat the peach.

But Ugway covers up the peach seed in the ground and says:

"but when you grow a peach tree you'll get a peach tree not something else."

it was a great saying, but also something that stroke me a little about our education among us. I'm not talking about American or Korean education but more something close to modern education. How we teach the kids in the same way, test them with the same methods. Of course many is trying to change but still stays as not to understand the differences among the others.

If we are different and better in some other specific ways shouldn't we be educated to be special and different? shouldn't we be able to show the world what we are better of?

of course this may sound as an ideal thought of edcuation, but Vygotsky has been saying that the teachers may be capable of teaching the lower level students but it's really hard to teach the higher level students. In other words this can be seen as everyone deserves different type of education style. No one is the same why should we treat them the same?
