You did it again, for the 404th time. This week's pick of the picks for me is The Curricula. I must confess that I was rather sceptical (or skeptical) when reading the paragraph. But the system comes up with good sequences of learning steps, with sensible concepts, and with surprising sources, even for rather specialised topics such as metal fabrication or semantic web. We humans in service professions have to up our game!
When I was growing up I enjoyed seeing this short NFB film the Imax theatres called Cosmic Zoom which might've been the inspiration for Cosmic Eye.
I do remember a version was made in the 90s or 2000s that updated the 1968 original. I'm not sure how this YouTube one is related or not but either way they are all fascinating animations.
Apple Maps on iPhone has The Infatuation guides built in. If you go to search and scroll down, rather than typing in a search query, you will find them and other guides in the City Guides section. I find it a super useful integration.
I could not get "The Curricula" to work. I received an endless spin cycle on every query. I like the idea and want to see how this tool could benefit the students in my classes (preservice teachers).
Confirming that it works well James. Maybe that's because I operate on EU timezones when the servers are a bit less loaded. The proposed learning trajectories are amazing, even for quite specialised topics, and they come with good sources.

Cool! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing The Infatuation! I've already discovered new places in L.A. that I can't wait to try.

Sometimes this happens when there's a lot of traffic directed toward the website. I hope we didn't break it! I would try it again later.
I saw it working earlier today so I think Recomendo might've at least contributed to breaking it 😁
Thank you! I will try again.
I tried the curricula again and it worked very well. Thank you!
