Consciousness: Games and Apps

Hello, thanks for the game post. funny, I have just wrote a book called the power of positivity I wouild like to see a game that prompts you to ask questions that expand your consciousness, like what else is possible?

I have been working on a game about consciousnes business.

Hi!

I'm GMT! (So 10am MDT = 4pm here, right?)

I'm happy to have my application shared, but I'm afraid I did not save it :)

I would love to participate - who do I need to talk to on Skype since this doesn't appear to have been arranged?

Hi everyone! I really like Brylie's game. One of the reasons I took this class was to get into a context where my own creativity and my own positive vibe would grow!

I'm also in MDT, and I'll stay logged in, in case something "happens" at 10:00. This is my first P2PU class, so the only communications tool I've experienced so far is this forum!

I created a blog entry for my application. Here's the link:

I would love to read the others! :-)

Hi from Brazil!

1. I'm at UTC/GMT -3 hours

2. Spread Positivity sounds great, and reminds me of this year's ImagineCup GameDesign winner, WildFire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZo52vpSjF8). There, you must convince and orient citizens on working towards the 8 UN Milleniun Development Goals.

2.2. As a starter, I posted the bibliography for my graduation work, Kino - a game to address education and proprioception, much like a RPG without the 'roleplay' - because you must play as yourself. You can find it in Scribd

;)

3. This is too my first P2PU course, and I guess I missed the Skype talk - I guess 10MDT is 7am here.

I'm really happy to be discussing so much good stuff!

Lita.

Josh here, I am in Idaho at MST. I am also new to everything. How do I set up skype to work. Thanks

Hello everyone, I am Gurmit in Geneva and here is my short essay below, great to meet all of you and read your wonderful creative ideas!

What does the evolution of consciousness entail for me?

While the evolution of consciousness encompasses far too many perspectives for a coherent yet flexible framework, my experiences and insights as a learning technology researcher prompt me to develop a conceptual model to realize this purpose. This should, at the very least, entail and catalyse the ongoing reflection dialogues necessary for positive mindset and behaviour change effects to be sustained as conscious evolutionary action research processes in a global learning community. In addition, we may consider if it should entail a deliberate strategy of raising consciousness using games and apps in distributed networks, so as to improve the impact of educational technology innovations.

At the same time however, we face the equal challenge of shifting attention and resources towards creating fresh curricula and materials to promote literacy in cosmic consciousness. Currently, the absence of ‘consciousness literacy’ precludes the ability of humans to participate in building the Global Brain as a hive of permanent evolution and not merely a static repository of codified knowledge. As the industrial education system collapses, the question then becomes how do we effectively seed and propagate the evolution of consciousness cheaply and pervasively? How do we make the Networked Digital World evolve consciously?

I hope this course will develop a systematic approach to the evolution of consciousness, by mapping targets, stakeholders, themes, and design principles. My added value would be my experience having developed an e-mentoring programme as
as a pedagogic strategy, building on research that informal and social learning is now a recognized way to improve educational outcomes for all. I would like to develop an app called i-Mentor for promoting peer2peer mentoring dialogues by overcoming time and distance barriers to raising the consciousness of our planet.

Thanks!

HI people, I'm also from Brazi

1: I'm in GMT -4 time zone or AST for Caracas, Manaus and the City I live Porto Velho. Now we are in 11:31 when i wrote this.

2: The stuff i wrote as sign-up activity:

When I first remember of games or apps that enhance the evolution of consciousness, I remember the fiction movie “The Lawnmower Man” that start's with a chimp seeing the world as some kind of First Person Shooter. In the movie, the mind evolves by exposure to a virtual reality. Out of the fiction, the change is not so simple. Also, that's no a matter of IQ, but of awareness. Our consciousness experience some changes by playing computer games, but most of people are not aware of that. When I dream for the first time that I was driving a car controlled by four directional joystick buttons only, I find it curious. But the dream was more vivid, lucid. Then I read in a game forum someone that had a very real dream, where he feels as he was playing GTA, and talk with gamers friends and find some related experiences. I realize a computer games was changing the consciousness someone had in a dream, the perception of self inside a dream. But in a way the person don't connect the change to the game practice. Today, I think Geo-location based games could change consciousness by tapping into people spatial perception of the world and of themselves. A game of search and find someone or virtual objects with sound clues of the places they currently are, could lead to more awareness of your space, and then, more consciousness of who you are in that space.

3: There is a list of skype contacts to add?

I'm sorry I was offline for as long as I was! It looks as though today is an excellent day to catch up on this past week's activities, and get prepped for next week. I'll log in every 2-3 days going forward. :-)
