Piss Poor Politics : Dodgy Devils.
November 23, 2006
With twenty minutes of power left in the laptop, Donna Hensley as my new boss, a tube of pringles in one hand and an ash tray breath to get into bed with, I’m inspired to punch out a few words on my way into dream land.
It’s National LearnScope week and all flights have eluded Rome and ended up in Hobart. Tommorow after breakfast I’m destined to smile sweetly and endure Marcus Ragus schmooz m-learning.
Oh what a glorius and paradoxical existence - cold empty hotel rooms, late crowded plane flights and no children to interupt my sleep. Someone the other day somewhere ( I think it was Graham Wegner ) had been rambling on about communities and how he was still struggling to connect with those who seemingly had one in the virtual world of Bloggerdom. How wierd. It would appear that it was all a hive of clerical activity. How many hyperlinks can you co-join and say that your not feeling included, wanted and read by ?
It really amazes me that with a zillion net-buddies on the run that we can still feel lonely. Are we not connecting or something ? Erkkk……do people still have sex these days and actually …..erkkkkk….do it physically ?
Sitting with Frankie Forsyth and Robby Weatherley tonight I’m still amazed at the lack of ( perhaps oppourtunity for ) understanding of virtual worlds, electronic human inter-mediation and the avatarian self. Not that they are not exposed to this discourse rather resistant to it’s lure. Like me. Sceptic. Perhaps digitally diametrically asceptic.
You wont find me tagging much on anything to do with Janison but I sure as hell know that the SL card is creeping into a few loungerooms and that a few of my ‘community’ are more than a bit quiet of late. There’s no groupies and networks in this little cold hearted neck of the woods.
There’s something to be said about pubs that sell chilled champagne and encourage their male patrons to piss against one way glass facing their female counterparts in convict hewn courtyards.
Oi oi ! Strengthen that yardarm me hearties ! Oh for some god damned sanity amongst it all.

Net Sheriffs : Net Nanny
November 10, 2006
With the onset of m-learning as the preferred communication modality for a league of learners it seems that images / scenarios like the above may well become common place.
I coin this post at a time when user-generated content and information repositories in educational settings within Australia are not commonplace. Risk commitees and net safety vigilance is having it’s toll on mobile information ecologies that could be seemlessly integrate with existing e-learning systems and I sense it will be a long time yet that students can login- on the move, where they want and what what time suits them.
Heaven forbid they be given the choice.
The idea that students can provide RPL evidence or prove educational outcomes using their mobile camera phones is still in it’s infancy. A server sided mobile asset repository is likewise ( inform me otherwise ) a long way off. When I roll these things off I do so not with any malice or mal-content rather a simple challenge for myself to keep at it and to keep going on the idea.
The always on classroom. Human computing is here to stay and somehow we need to get our heads around how to embrace it.
Any projects your hearing of that are buried behind some other firewall ? What can we share and when will it reach our learners ?
