Cuban Missile Crisis - John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At 8:45 AM on October 16, 1962, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy alerted President Kennedy that a major international crisis was at hand. Two days earlier a United States military surveillance aircraft had taken hundreds of aerial photographs of Cuba. CIA analysts, working around the clock, had deciphered in the pictures conclusive evidence that a Soviet missile base was under construction near San Cristobal, Cuba; just 90 miles from the coast of Florida. The most dangerous encounter in the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union had begun.

This website steps you through the crisis one day at a time. You will see the events unfold from one day to the next, with historical documents revealing the true history of these thirteen days in October. You'll see the intelligence photos the President acted upon; read the correspondence between the White House and the Kremlin, and listen to Kennedy's speech to the American public about the historic events unfolding in Cuba.

Connectivism

The nature of knowledge is changing rapidly, from being almost immutable and timeless, to having a shrinking 'half-life' (the time from when knowledge is gained to when it becomes obsolete). With the abundance of knowledge, we can "no longer personally experience and acquire learning that we need to act. We derive our cmpetence from forming connections." (Siemens, 2004). The way we make meaning has changed, from engaging in meaningful tasks, we now make meaning through recognising patterns. Learning, defined as actionable knowledge, is disembodied (it can exist outside our heads), places emphasis on the connecting of information and prioritises our ability to search and learn more over what we already know.

Connectedness (to the right people, right context, right information at the right time) - Currency - Capacity to know - Capacity to Choose - Creating and Cultivating Collective Cognitive Capacity.

Learning is no longer just an individual and internal activity.

"It's all a swindle"

Weimar Germany was a center of artistic innovation, great creativity, and considerable experimentation. In film, the visual arts, architecture, craft, theater, and music, Germans were in the forefront of the most exciting developments. The unprecedented freedom and widespread latitude for varieties of cultural expression led to an explosion of artistic production. In the Bauhaus arts and crafts school, in the studios of the film company UFA, in the theater of Max Rinehardt and the studios of the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlickeit) artists, cutting edge work was being produced. While many applauded these efforts, conservative and radical right-wing critics decried the new cultural products as decadent and immoral. They condemned Weimar Germany as a new Sodom and Gomorrah and attacked American influences, such as jazz music, as contributors to the decay.
