Picture: the white between the plants is the top of a stone, named gneiss. It looks like ice, and is shining.
According to the digital map of Geiteryggen, to be found via the website of the NGU, Norges geologiske undersøkelse geo.ngu.no/ it is possible to find the names of the rocks and stones in a specific municipality. Geiteryggen belongs to Hol Kommune. The Geiteryggen area is geological an area of so-called glimmergneis, glimmerskifer, metasandstein amfibolitt, and fylitt. English: mica gneiss, mica shale, metasandstone amphibolite, and phyllite.

Schist is medium grade metamorphic rock, formed by the metamorphosis of mudstone / shale, or some types of igneous rock, to a higher degree than slate, i.e. it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures. The resulting foliation is coarser and more distinct than that of slate due to the higher degree of crystallisation of mica minerals (biotite, chlorite, muscovite) forming larger crystals, and is often referred to as schistosity. These larger crystals reflect light so that schist often has a high lustre, i.e. it is shiny. Porphyroblasts are common in schist, and they provide information on the temperature and pressure conditions under which the rock formed. Due to the more extreme formation conditions, schist often shows complex folding patterns. There are many varieties of schist and they are named for the dominant mineral comprising the rock, e.g. mica schist, green schist (green because of high chlorite content), garnet schist etc.

This is a diagram I developed for the paper I am giving at the VET E-portfolios Showcase Symposium 2009 - learning for life, in Melbourne (http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/content/e-portfolios-showcase). I developed it to capture and illustrate the following notions:
* Developmental/showcase/professional
* Private/public space
* Trust/rapport
* Rehearse as a group as well as an individual
* Collection of 'projects' - some half-finished, some ready for the next production, some still in the concept phase, some abandoned
* Spend time as an apprentice, sweeping, painting scenery, learning the vocabulary
* Start to rehearse. Feedback from director/peers (work collaboratively to interpret a script)
* Personality - interpretation of the script (role/assessment/rubric)
* Audience - who are they? Appropriacy. Don't always know (global)
* Dress rehearsal/first night - iterative feedback loop

A Dangerous but Powerful Idea - Counter Acceleration and Speed with Slowness and Wholeness and change11 presentation Reclaiming Resurgance & Resonance.
I even tried a a first draft and some paper notes.
There is so much to think about and reflect upon that I cannot do it justice in one drawing.
But this is a start.
Blog post ruminating.
I have been working on a process model and framework, adapted from earlier theoretical and practical examples. In the process, I have attempted to develop a set of tools that help answer the question “Where do I start?” for practitioners who are unfamiliar with adapting education resources to make effective use of ICT Enhanced Learning and Teaching (ICTELT). Employing a scaffolded approach appropriate for working in small teams, or as individuals, the guiding questions form the foundation for collaborative discussion of design choices, ICT tool selection, and the incorporation of a range of pedagogical approaches with a variety of tools. The model and framework can be used with new and/or existing programmes, modules, units, sessions, or learning objects, but initially practitioners are encouraged to trial the process on a small scale.
I am very keen to receive feedback about the ICTELT model and framework, and to share ideas around helping practitioners and teams to design and develop ICTELT programmes.

Two famous trachyte volcanoes are Mt Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain on the African continent), and Mt Erebus in Antarctica. Trachyte is the volcanic equivalent of syenite. flexiblelearning.auckland.ac.nz/rocks_minerals/rocks/trac...

Alkali feldspar - the term alkali means that the mineral contains the metallic elements potassium (K) and / or sodium (Na). flexiblelearning.auckland.ac.nz/rocks_minerals/glossary.h...
Alkali feldspars:
The alkali feldspars are as follows:
orthoclase (monoclinic)[10] LiAlSi3O8,
sanidine (monoclinic)[11] (K,Na)AlSi3O8,
microcline (triclinic)[12] KAlSi3O8,
anorthoclase (triclinic) (Na,K)AlSi3O8.
Sanidine is stable at the highest temperatures, and microcline at the lowest.[10][11] Perthite is a typical texture in alkali feldspar, due to exsolution of contrasting alkali feldspar compositions during cooling of an intermediate composition. The perthitic textures in the alkali feldspars of many granites can be seen with the naked eye.[13] Microperthitic textures in crystals are visible using a light microscope, whereas cryptoperthitic textures can be seen only with an electron microscope.

The most well-known is the rhomb-porphyry from the Oslo Rift in Norway. Similar rocks are known to exist in only two other locations: The East African Rift Valley and the Antarctic1.

While reading A Dangerous but Powerful Idea - Counter Acceleration and Speed with Slowness and Wholeness and watching Gheeta's presentation recording for #change11, I did this drawing. But I felt it was too confusing and I wanted to simplify to give the ideas the proper amount of attention they deserved.

September Online Event: Tapping into Resources for E-learning
6 - 8 September 2006
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
'Lead in' sessions for 'newbies'
A series of lead-in sessions will be happening for 'newbies' during August. This is in response to the numbers participating in the June 15 - 16 event who identified themselves as having little experience with e-learning. These sessions will cover: podcasting, toolboxes, digital storytelling, RSS feeds and connected learning, and 'the hidden web'(Searching the Internet simplified).
These are images that I took while I was presenting at (http://www.slideshare.net/hazelowendmc/placeholder-2201865#) and attending the VET ePortfolio Showcase 2009 (http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/content/e-portfolios-showcase)
