Last week I finally managed to get into the nitty-gritty of the digital essay although at this stage its ‘digitality’ is still restricted to being a word-processed document.
How the digital component will enter into this project I’m still not too sure and may require some clarification from Sian.
On the positive site I now seem to have a good understanding on the cyborg concept and I have found a couple of articles which describe how this can be applied within a particular teaching practice, in this case teaching Geography. In fact I now even enjoy reading around the subject area and I do get a feel for the ‘genre’.
And tI realise that he concept of the cognisphere is a pretty powerful one.
All pervasive cloud computing via high-bandwidth media-rich mobile device-compatible content will show the way. This will be the rise of the cyborg…

Henry, have you had any more thoughts on the ‘digitalness’ of this? It’s fine to do it in Wordpress as you suggested – it can be a simple thing – the general idea is to use the assignment as a way of thinking about what digital presentation can offer a formal piece of academic work like this. Happy to discuss ideas further via email.
