Drawing back the curtain to see how the Wizard of Oz did what he did, changed how Dorothy perceived and interacted with him. I've been trying to pull back the curtain on the visual or systematic illusion of own existence. (See post 10/27/2011) The play that plays in our head. The voice that constantly chatters in the background, like some narrator of your life. The environment that drives our choices and being.
There are tools in this somewhere. Tools an actor must have and tools I think should be added to a teacher's tool kit as well.
A tool is an instrument (physical or not), that resolves a problem or elevates an obstruction (physical or not). A toy is an instrument (Physical or not), that provides entertainment or education (physical or not).
Microscopes allow us to look at the really small and close together. Telescopes allow us to look at the really big and far apart. This "blogoscope" wants to focus on what occupies the middle ground in this analogy.
