[Year 12 IT Apps] user manuals, old joke

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Crikey Ken .. my Cobol is rusty, about as ancient as my Fortran. I once even learned some analogue programming (who does that now?)

Here are some old books that I spotted in the Salvo shop. Sadly, somebody probably passed away and the family passed the books on for the next generation who may have a fleeting retro moment.

Of course if you are feeling young and wish to become a new-age edutech hipster, then drop into another ACCE Learning network hangout with Amanda Rablin and the gang tomorrow from 8:30 Melbourne time. The topic is "Get Hip, Get Wearable". If you have any wearables, Borg implants or neural gel-pacs then drop me a line to join the show-and-tell.

If it is all too much, then come along to ACEC2014 in Adelaide in October where I have been assured, you will discover the ultimate program for digital learning. At the very least, come along for the traditional Oz-Teachers group photograph after the keynote.
