Wes Fryer shared this incredible claymation production on his blog and via Twitter recently, as a new twist on an approach to digital storytelling. The video below tells the story of Plato’s cave. I found it very compelling and the visual story has added a new dimension to my contemplation of this classic. In interpreting the story, does anyone else read a parallel between “the cave” and “the classroom?” Between the “prisoners” and teachers who are afraid or unwilling to experience teaching “in the cloud” or “outside the cave?”
Enjoy.

As a technology innovator I sometimes feel like I've left the cave when I get a glimpse of what tech can do, and I find it incredibly hard to describe it once I'm back inside the cave – but as Plato reminds us we have an ethical obligation to try.
