What an utterly fascinating event. On 5th May people around the world photograph their lives, to share the images of their day with the community.

Now, if we could have such a day across Universities of the world, sharing the curriculum. Wouldn’t it be fascinating to see how the different countries teach the same subject?

I really do feel naive sometimes. I thought viral marketing was a nasty conniving scheme and what do I realise by chatting to an expert and having a quick gander on Wikipedia?

Because … what could this mean for education? because let’s face it: everything means something for education – we just have to figure out what, and where, and how, and if we even want it.
