Synopsis
Dr Sirolli shares his thoughts on the role of VET practitioners in being more responsive to learners and enterprises. He offers an unscientific hunch that all of us have a better chance at succeeding in what we love doing. The role of a smart education system should be one of fostering personal success by emphasising the unique talents that each of us possesses.

Read More...Sticky Notes
Many a poignant blogging retort has been lost to the machine driven exercise of communicating with others in a less-than sticky web 2.0 cipher laden conversation space.
Blogging for me is two fingers most of the time. One finger on the keypad and the other middle finger making rude salutes.
I do commiserate however with Nancy White as she struggles to get words in edge ways via my comments field. To thwart the discontent personally, I’ve taken to the precaution of coining “flow” on the blogging run via wordpad. Saves on the swearing and dissapointment.
I also take Nancy’s comments very seriously.
“…..If we can’t figure out how to constructively interact, our chances of learning decrease. What would happen if Edna put a pause on all the challenging discussions and started an open one. Just to see if the patterns changed? “
Constructive conversation befits those able to say something. If EDNA chose to have an open conversation then I do believe the less-than constructive elements might well have nothing to say.
The patterns of behaviour exhibited by contributors may well change. There may well be a greater depth to the conversation and the saccarin-sweet congratulatory and debilitating “mentors” could go back to bean counting.
If the conversation isnt opened up a little then I’m just going to be dissapointed cause’ there sure is a lot more to learn this side of the Moodle.
