World of Depleted - what image is this

Image
Trying to figure out what this image means - anyone seen it or something similar or have ideas (and not sure if there is something hidden in it somehow, still trying to figure out and find time on how to check images for hidden stuff)

Fanon - a good reminder

Fanfic writers should read RT @soduhAlex this is what happens when you write something OCC and everyone else follows, http://bit.ly/bsyqPU

Am I a Dark Dreamer and Thanks World of Depleted

So first - I found out what a thrill it is as a simple fan of an entertainment/story project to have that story/world give you a nod - so I thank the writers/creators/and everyone else at World of Depleted and still looking for more clues, hints, signs and learning a lot as I research - which is why I like things like WoD and the interactive/participatory pieces - I explore topics and resources I probably never would otherwise.... another reason I want to include game mechanics and transmedia concepts in my class room Also - as I continue to see QR codes everywhere now (thanks Gavin and WoD :) I found this interesting article http://mashable.com/2010/10/13/bit-ly-qr-codes/ - everything is going to visual and codes and such. I plan on giving out a couple homework assignments via a QR code and seeing how students react to this concept and technology. PS - so via Gavin's journal - it seems there may be more Dark Dreamers out there - if you are one - give me a holler!!!!!!!! http...

A very cool forensic site

researching for a story, found this PBS site - got distracted playing - http://to.pbs.org/9jW8LU I really do let myself get too pulled into exploring and learning something new

More QR codes sneaking out

So - found this site - www.zazzle.com/muzzle_blast_tshirt-235697434247807090 and there is a QR code on the back of the shirt. The program I am using is having a hard time capturing the QR code - so not sure if it is the same - but I'll find a way ;) On the flip side - if you want a cool Tshirt : )

Transmedia Classroom -

Read over this interesting post on transmedia and the classroom transmythology.com/2010/10/05/the-transmedia-classroom-of-tomorrow Left a comment (posted here too) MY comment very nice post on a topic I am very interested in - I am teaching for the first time this year a curriculum I wrote for Juniors and Seniors in high school generically labeled Environmental Literacy and Transmedia education - yes I snuck in a course in my school that uses transmedia and other concepts and actually lists those in the curriculum content ;) I teach environmental awareness AND transmedia concepts (aka how to navigate content across platforms and to build understand and story as you go, yes I see education as nothing more than many stories to be told and learned ;-) Your post, IMO, is only the tippy, tippy top of a very exciting and dangerous iceberg (Titanic analogies inserted here). Game Mechanics in education has actually been around for a bit, but as with other industries, is just now gaining a l...

Ok, damn I missed it - World of Depleted QR

Image
ok so apparently I missed the hidden QR code for a hidden trailer - it was not in the video trailer but hidden on the WoD website - which means - when I get back from camping I will look over the web site :p drat... on a side note, the swirled QR code is kinda psychedelic - lol www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/photo.php?pid=579139&fbid=164849483525183&id=114025395274259 ://
