Shedding light in the Rabbit Hole
A conversation starter, a keepsake for observations, ideas, inspirations, memes, metaphors & tales, whisperings on learning, on different (critical) literacies, on revolutionizing education, on sustainable development, on societal life and critical social research, on "futures", on worldviews, on change & transformations, on diversity, social justice and emanicipations, on all the subjects that fascinate me, on beautiful things: books I love/read/want to read: stories that take me away, on music, poetry and art.
{shining & glittery rays of light} (an unending collection of interesting postmodern memes to use in the classroom)
My attempt to look for meaningful (yet at first look 'far fetched') patterns? Or just simple my way of shining some light in the rabbit hole. But most important an attempt to connect with other souls who are enjoying the fall down the rabbit hole as well...
" (...) and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it [the white rabbit], and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again..." (Lewis Carroll)

Anatomy of Facebook
Via Scoop.it - Sociological Imagination
Facebook Data Team wrote a note titled Anatomy of Facebook. Read the full text here. Think back to the last time you were in a crowded airport or bus terminal far from home. Did you consider that the person sitting next to you probably knew a friend of a friend of a friend of yours? In the 1960s, social psychologist Stanley Milgram’s “small world experiment” famously tested the idea that any two people in the world are separated by only a small number of intermediate connections, arguably the first experimental study to reveal the surprising structure of social networks. With the rise of modern computing, social networks are now being mapped in digital form, giving researchers the ability to study them on a much grander, even global, scale. Continuing this tradition of social network research, Facebook, in collaboration with researchers at the Università degli Studi di Milano, is today releasing two studies of the Facebook social graph.
