Exactly what is a 'Professional'?
I recently agreed to give a talk to a group of IT Professionals entitled "Professionalism in IT, does it matter?". During the talk there was much consternation when, after posing a series of questions to the audience, I told them that 'none of you are IT professionals' - and this to a seasoned audience of senior practitioners in the industry.My justification for making that bold statement was not that this audience was made up of incompetent, untrustworthy amateurs, rather that none of them…See More

Joyce King liked Paul David Jagger's discussion Mobile technologies having little impact on Learning 2.0Will Education and Workplace Learning ever resolve their differences?
Earlier this year the Royal Society issued a much anticipated report in to the state of Computing and IT teaching and assessment in maintained schools in England and Wales. The report highlighted a National Curriculum delivering IT literacy, and very little in the way of applied IT and almost nothing in the way of Computing Science.That report was entitled 'Shutdown or Restart', and reflected the stark decision that the Department for Education needed to make regarding the future of IT and…See More

I take well you point…"
"Hi Paul
I guessed as much!
Your first paragraph exemplifies well my interpretation of the data as presented in your post.
My second point will be true almost regardless of context, the headline sentence of my third point equally so.
I will look…"
"Nic,
All good points, and they may well be true.
There are some other factors in the demographics of the research data (that I have not disclosed yet) indicating that the crushing majority of respondents are working in knowledge economy…"
"Paul.
I am interested in, but not surprised by your findings.

Learning 2.0 a step too far for public education?
Before I began my research in to the effectiveness of social computing for workplace learning (a.k.a., Learning 2.0 in the Enterprise) I had begun to form a view that public sector education wasn't embracing technology enabled social learning.
