Focus for this week: Systems (past focus)

From I ask questions

Welcome to my diary about some learning experiments.

general thoughts

so, let's begin

Actually at first I just wanted to blog with another tool, but then I thought: why not continue my PLE diary ?

Later more, for now see: question to myself: so, where is the learning ?

What did I notice so far?

• sometimes I have the tendency to set up or think of things for others (as if being in old times again). Erkan remember: limit yourself to the PLE / blog for the time being
• if I have direct links from the sidebar, the usage increases
• 2009-03-22: changed the navigation bar, am thinking to make a special section: Focus ? For the moment: using the Mediawiki:Sitenotice

Do you see the systems ?

1. learning goal ?

2. manage learning; managing both content and process ?

3. communicate with others in the process of learning ?

Thoughts

• 2007: Introduction into General Systems Thinking
• March 2009: started reading books by von Bertalanffy
• there are some lectures this semester at the university
  • seminar: What are systems ? by Prof. Dr. phil. Mathias Gutmann
• learning by doing: Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems
  • step1: inhaling
    • wikis are addictive (someone find a cure please)

ToDo

  • created an account for the future - when I am reading books: librarything
• commons:
  • commons:Category:Systems theory diagrams
  • closed system + boundary
  • open system
• Systems
• File:System boundary.PNG : create some question mark behind boundary
• search systems in old Asian (Chinese, ...) texts

When will I use Help:Draw ?

1. learning goal ?

create drawings, sketches, 2d/3d, cause effect, associations, mind maps, ... -> a picture says sometimes more

2. manage learning; managing both content and process ?

3. communicate with others in the process of learning ?

questions

• Why didn't I use it yet ?
  • technical answer:
    • no arrow (actually an arrow is bad, just a line is good enough)
    • text size fixed
  • thinking that first usage must be something world moving ?

• Perhaps it is the wrong approach/tool ? Also I want to change the wording to Visualize
  • wordplay: virtualize - replace r and t with the character in between from the alphabet

• 2009-04-01 an experience: Is there a device which can help to put my thoughts into digital form - preferred in light speed ?

todos

• I should enable svg for increasing semantics usage

When will I continue the thoughts on ...

• everything exists - it is not "dead", it just might seem so
• symbols/signs (on the street): there are many that say: NO, but look out for the ones or transform at that time in signs saying: yes, but ...
• Data

Don't limit yourself to just the above!
