Campbell communication - Gardner Campbell Keynote - Ecologies of Yearning

The Campbell communication was really great! All the questions of "opening education" were highlighted and discussed in a very sensitive way. Learning and teaching is not a simple process... Transform the excess of information around us in useful knowledge is difficult enterprise...
We have to be open minded to be successful with the opening education, we have to be poetic, philosophic, holistic... almost go on a metaphysic journey - "Open learning is a journey of exploration"...
Makes me remember Álvaro de Campos (Fernando Pessoa heterony):
"Sentir tudo de todas as maneiras,
Viver tudo de todos os lados,
Ser a mesma coisa de todos os modos possíveis ao mesmo tempo,
Realizar em si toda a humanidade de todos os momentos
Num só momento difuso, profuso, completo e longínquo."

“To feel everything in every way
To live everything from every side
To be the same thing every way possible at the same time,
To realize within oneself all of humanity from every moment
In a single diffused, profuse, complete and far away moment."
