December 2007, 26(10):71-2 Bion is featured in the documentary Oklahoma: Spirit of the People, which is being shown at the Oklahoma Heritage Society Museum Bion was one of four projects featured in "Vision Magazine: Looking at the Future of Learning," Summer/Autumn 2007, p. 16: "It is essential for learners to be creative, to generate new ideas and to experiment in the application of those ideas. In this section, we celebrate those that do not always take the safe and proven route, but instead are committed to trying something truly innovative. Here are just some of the exciting creative ideas that have made us sit up and listen recently"
