[Yr7-10it] Buzzphrase for next year suggestion!

Fri Nov 30 09:05:58 EST 2007

Ok folks, from one who often does the 'foot in mouth' thing...
Here's my 2 cents worth for an idea for next years VITTA conference theme....

        "EDUCATIONAL / INSPIRATIONAL / EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING...WHICH ONE(S) WORK?...."  .
         .focus on either the teacher or the learner, or is the teacher a learner too? (ie all that extra study some 
        of us do to better ourselves..me for one!)

OR...

        "WHAT DO YOU DO BETTER?  LEARN OR GET TAUGHT?" on how we learn...

Heck, I'll even throw my hat in the ring now and say I will run a session next year and give my views on this one and have it as an interactive discussion session/workshop!  Hows that for size!!

KB.

See, I can be creative too! ..hehehehe

As a boring old teacher in the system I will say what I have always said
- don't put something down until you believe you can do better! In other
words - until you believe you can give a better and more inspirational
KeyNote address or until you can come up with a better "buzzphrase"
please don't criticize those who are just trying to inspire us all.

The 'buzzphrase' for the conference - "you say you want a revolution" -
was chosen LONG before any election dates or election promises were
thought of - and the phrase was NOT meant to be political in any way. To
give you some idea of the time frame for these things - discussion on
NEXT YEAR'S "buzzphrase" began last Tuesday night - and I am sure your
contributions would be welcome and considered.

Cheers

heheh, if I get shouted down like that on a *discussion* list, why 
would I want to join a committee for more of the same?  If dissenting 
opinions are not only unvalued but vehemently attacked, what is the 
point?
