Abstract

[Extract] Furthering the Wachowskis' curricular and pedagogical assertions, digital technologies now enter the social, political and subjective corners of one's public and private rooms. They pour in like rays of sunlight through a window, or shadows slipping underneath the door, slowly filling the room with darkness, the real with virtual reality. And yet, what are we actually seeing, that is, the real or the virtually real? If there is a line—a threshold or window—separating the real from the virtually real, it has become an increasingly blurred one. Despite the potential educational unease, the continual evolution of technology and its respective corporate proliferation of mediated realities into our living rooms, our classrooms, via social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, or Google Classroom seems to be unstoppable.
