Three things that do NOT astound me to read or hear about as a member this Google Group.

 

1. We have individuals employed by educational organisations reactively reporting on organisational decisions to block non-organisational consortiums providing educational online facilitation to teachers troubled with inequitable organisation / educational disorganisation within this Google group. Apart from the disorganisation that these decisions have caused, we have senior education organisation staff engaging with other individuals employed by educational organisations in written and open dialogue as to the organisational disorder that this is causing outside of the organisational order which would otherwise contain this organisations disorder.

 

2. We now have learning organisations employing individuals from within and outside of educational organisation to proactively effect m-learning [teachAndLearnOffline] by advocating and openly inviting members from all educational organisations including NGO's, contractors, consultants and others to engage in blogging activities which by virtue of funding agreements, industry partnerships and other consortium related agreements provide another effective tool to address the seemingly disengaged members of our learning community - students. The organisations advocating for the identification of mlearning champions and for project facilitation staff involved with such endeavours are [temporarily] effectively blocked from viewing and likewise contributing to such endeavours - preventing proactive aggregation of research findings and m-learning case studies for free use within this Google group. 

3. We have strings, threads, bundles, bunches and other interactive links firewalled within the learning organisations now pointing out at information, content and communication occuring within [without] nominally non-institutional non-accredited dis-organisations such as this. The organisational disorder is obviously very happy with pointing out to such information as members within dis-organisations bring order to the disorder by effectively recreating what order was needed to bring order to the internal disorder within the learning organisation.

Three things [ acts] that WOULD astound me to hear from members within this Google group.

1. Mr Acting Deputy Speaker, I beseech thee to consider that the Acting -------- Minister consider ways to bring order and clarity to the situation by promptly issuing directives to the effect that all teachers and TAFE lecturers cease home based educational organisation related facilitation, to cease and desist with use of open sauce softwares and immediately commence burying all relevant educational material, content and communication in learning management systems more effectively designed to create order amongst this disorder and to require all staff to adhere to ministerial guidelines as to the .............* fields a furtive poke to the ribs * what's that ? * listens to Bill * Blogs ? What the #*^! are they ?.................. * whispers * yeh, you said they only had to do that for PD.

 

2. Mr. Acting Deputy Speaker, I implore that the Acting --------- Minister address the issue that mobile communication technologies pose for educational instituions with respect to privacy and security concerns and that individuals  dis-respecting current departmental policies which ban such devices from use in or near school premises due to these concerns be immediately reprimanded or ejected from within these learning settings.........* another poke to the ribs * the teachers use them with class activities ?

3. Mr. Acting Deputy Speaker, I ask seek the immediate resignation of the Acting --------- Minister who clearly demonstrates no commitment to addressing the needs of the community in providing teachers who have adequate skills and knowledge to impart relevant, timely, adequately resourced, technologically proficient, seamless and equitable, open accessed, negotiable and ........................* more pokes* what do you mean - thats enough?

 

I  request a t-shirt that reads - What sort of web filtering are you using ?

On the back of the t-shirt it could read - Digital Laxatives .......Mr. Acting Deputy Speaker.

 

It might just sort out some of those blockages we have been experiencing.
