Never rains, pours

Had to turn down an invitation to address the International Leadership Association because I am presenting at APRENDRED-IV

Two excellent looking conferences, each on topics of great interest to me. If only one, or both, was actually in SL.

Convivial trouble making

Most of the posts on this particular site are my personal attempts to use a critical pedagogy perspective.

I think that the web has changed everything and that it is time to change our outmoded system of industrial education in some very fundamental ways. This won't happen without provocation.

My understanding of critical pedagogy has been derived from a study of the works of Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich and Henry Giroux .

Definitions of critical pedagogy can be found on a number of sites:
Critical Pedagogy on the Web
Alternative Modes of Teaching and Learning
Notebook on Critical Pedagogy

Critical Pedagogy is a major field of academic study. Articles are regularly published in peer-reviewed journals such as:

International Journal of Critical Pedagogy
