Another early morning posting, as I have just finished off some late night crumpets with my Mothers home made blackcurrant jam.
Spent most of Friday recreating my website in Dreamweaver and using some Flash to help. Nearly there, but not quite, need to polish off the layout and fully test before going live. Has been quite a hard slog, like climbing a mountain. ICT never stands still, and nor should its Teachers. Other subjects are not so prone to changes in their fundamental structure and content, but are rather subject to circular repetition in policy and evolutions in teaching techniques that follow the pulse of demographic change. ICT has all this as well as the rapid evolution of the industry causing concepts, methodologies and tools to evolve faster than the span of a two year GCSE's stability requirements.
In thinking about my last post, there is an identifiable economic need for having a reduced spread of different syntax's and semantics as complexity costs money - what ever way you look at it - specialisms - additional training and associated time. The evolution of object orientated mythologies should continue as we all deal as humans with an object based world. We understand the capabilities of any such item, its properties and what it can do. Will we ever get to a 6GL? Do we need to or do we need to rationalise and consolidate what we have achieved in order to distill what we have into a better quality product?
