Mark Pesce is the keynote for the ACER/education.au symposium. He speaks of the generation gap between those wacky kids and those well meaning adults. He has now made his speech available on video and in text.

Hi Garry,
Just catching up on stuff. This Wacky one led me to
http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/?p=61
The header I found interesting is Hypermimesis = we learn by imitating. (As opposed to teaching through lecturing).
You know that AGIMO are aiming to have a Single Sign On (account) for citizens. To my mind me.edu.au already has taken this first step. Me.edu.au differs in that it leads us through into areas which are for Communities of Interest, whereas AGIMO are more focussed on providing a citizen a way to log on the .gov.au agencies web sites. Ideally these two approaches need to come together.
Id there anyway education.au might work with AGIMO to provide a grouping of forums - something like whirlpool - where many agencies (and their inquiries) might share an interactive space? Perhaps at a domain like inquiries.gov.au? If we could imitate a whirlpool-type online environment perhaps we could help break down the barriers between citizens (kids and adults) on the inside of a professionally defined domain and those outside. Might even provide a new institution for lifelong learning.
