Electronic navel-gazing
I recently gave a workshop at the university to help students with their revision techniques . . remember the days of exams straight after xmas?
I used my small and feeble knowledge of the ideas of a certain sociologist, who thought that traditional educational techniques are only good for people with strong mathematical/logical or linguistic intelligence and no good for all the arty/visual/sporty/nature-loving bods out there. . . Yes, we all hugged trees at the end of the session.
Today I needed to look up a couple of things about this for an interested student, so I pootle off to Google and what comes up number 4 on a list of 112,000 hits? - the date of my workshop. Ech - that's not useful! It's like one of those hits that look really promising but it's just a book title or the summary of a paper given at a conference in 1992.
I feel shame for clogging the knowledge arteries of the world.
