“Registrations will be limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.”
I have been trying so hard to avoid disappointment.
In truth it is not the registration that worries me; rather that I am alert to the possibility that my eduspeak idolatrous trap detector may not have the right filters in place for the nuance and subtlety of ict cluster eduspeak in 2006.
It is “Oh this one ‘s going to hurt like hell” time, if I don’t get it right
….have done well in the past, and have something of a reputation to defend –
More significantly … if I get it right, I will never have to buy a drink during the four days of CORE Education’s LearningatSchool2006 Conference www.learningatschool.org.nz in Rotorua February 2006.
Is high stake stuff – and means I am investigating new eduspeak words for 2006 with some urgency – I am determined that disappointment will not be mine.
All contributions welcomed.
It is difficult to predict the new word for 2006 without knowing who is going to keynote.
However, I am considering moving on from my 2005 word “PARADIGM SHIFT” (and am even prepared to forgo my earlier registered affection for “GALILLEAN SHIFT”).
It has to be a word that is chosen by those who wish to remain in control to reduce freedom of thought and disorder in the cluster schools, to establish a new social compliance through ict, to create passivity and a productivity that might persuade others to behave in a similar way ….
It has to be a word that will tempt us into the complicity of the disengaged, into systems of rules that ensure no one challenges, into codes that guarantee, and templates that regulate.
It has to be a word that encourages us to see ourselves in terms of institutionalization rather than in a “who is my neighbour?” - valuing identity of the individual terms
Am thinking about “baggsing” Etienne Wagener’s “COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE” for ict_pd cluster conference eduspeak in 2006 ….
I know it is a bit like the “dialogue - discussion” thing, a re- describing of the bleeding obvious - but that is what makes me think it might be the “Morpheus thinks he is the one” one
What do you think it might be?
