    An Interview with Naace ICT Impact Lifetime Achievement Award ...

    Christina Preston was one of two people given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Conference of Naace, the subject association for ICT. I interviewed her to find out about her and her work.

    Christina Preston receives her Lifetime Achievement Award from Graham Brown-MartinIt was almost inevitable that, sooner or later, Christina Preston would receive a lifetime achievement award from her home country. She is well-known on the educational ICT scene for her passionate and forthright views about the curriculum and pedagogy. And that applies not only in the UK, but all over the world.

    In 1992, Christina founded the MirandaNet Fellowship (www.mirandanet.ac.uk), which is a Community of Practice in which teachers, teacher educators, researchers and developers can share practice and exchange views. Many of us enjoy, and benefit enormously, from taking part in the vibrant discussions on MirandaNet?s online mailing list and at events called MirandaMods (www.mirandanet.ac.uk/mirandamods), a type of seminar in which there is an online audience as well as a physically present one who try to link their ideas together to gain new insights. The event is recorded for future reference. More than just a seminar, a Mirandamod is a forum in which people from all different spheres (eg teachers and academics) may connect with each other and test out ideas.

    In fact, Christina?s mission to foster collaboration goes back even further, as Professor Margaret Cox, Professor of Information Technology in Education at King's College London Dental Institute remembers:

    ?In the early 1980s, Professor Preston pioneered the development and use of networked educational software in English with the development of NewsNet, which was the first collaborative software environment engaging students to take on the role of reporters and work as teams to produce articles about specific activities and events in different countries.?

    Importantly, Christina designed NewsNet with a group of teachers as a professional development exercise and she has spent the past two decades emphasising the need for teachers to support their practice with research ? especially action research which they themselves can carry out in their own classrooms.

    Marilyn Leask, Professor of Educational Knowledge Management at the University of Bedfordshire, bears out Christina?s commitment to fostering collaboration:

    ?There are few people in the education sector who can have given as much personally to support collaboration and sharing knowledge about digital technologies as Professor Preston. Government agencies have come and gone and with them the specialist networks they supported which many educators relied upon. MirandaNet is the only network to continue and is now in its 20th year. This award is well-deserved."

    I asked Christina Preston 10 questions in a telephone interview. It makes for fascinating reading.

    TF: What has been your main aim since you started in educational ICT, i.e. the vision which underpins everything you have done?

    CP: In the late 1980s teachers were finding one-day ICT courses inadequate for really understanding what computers could do for teaching and learning. The MirandaNet Fellowship was founded with the aim of supporting teachers better by developing a community of practice where they could teach each other about this complex subject. They had to learn on the job because the large majority had not had access to this subject at university.

    A secondary aim, which ties in with this, is to encourage teachers to underpin their practice with action research. We?re carrying on this work with a new Education Futures Collaboration (http://www.edfuturescollaboration.org/) which aims to join up lots of pockets of innovation, evidence-based practice and excellence in teaching and learning, nationally and internationally.

    TF: What has been your greatest success or proudest moment (besides the Naace ICT Impact Award!), and why?

    CP: Well, I?m proud of two or three, of course. The Naace Award itself goes without saying, because it?s a great honour to be recognised by one?s own professional association. I was also pleased to receive the Digital Inclusion Associateship, at the University of Jujuy, Argentina in 2011, the Trnkova Medal for support in building democratic strategies for ICT teacher education from the Czech Technical University in 2002, and the World Academic Council Humanitarian Award for the enrichment of community opportunities for Bulgarian teachers and women returnees in 2000.

    But I think the one I am most proud of is the European Union of Women ? Humanitarian Achievement Award for creating an Anglo-Czech online alliance working on democratic participation in learning. Dr Bozena Mannov?, my partner in this activity, had to come to England specially in order to be interviewed. We?d been working together on that particular community of practice since 1995, but Bozena felt she hadn?t done anything special. She feels that, like other Czechs, she has a very deep-seated sense of failure because the Czechs had ?allowed? themselves to be occupied.

    We had a very tough interview from the EUW Board and at the end Bozena realised how much she had achieved herself since the wall came down. She said to me: ?I have done something, haven?t I?? It was a very touching moment for me, because much of my work is trying to help professionals to believe that they know as much about education as anybody else. My aim is to help them explain what they want to do, work out how to do it, and do it. That?s a vital aspect of living in a democracy: the freedom to realise your own potential.

    TF: What in the course of your career so far have you been most grateful for?

    CP: Absolutely the support of colleagues, especially Dr Bozena Mannov?, Dr John Cuthell, Professor Marilyn Leask and Professor Margaret Cox, but many, many more too ? and feedback from all MirandaNet?s 800 members in 80 countries.

    TF: What in your opinion has been the greatest missed opportunity in educational ICT? And what, if anything, can we do about it?

    CP: Well, my background is in teaching English, Drama and Media Studies, and what worries me the most is the reduction in the time we spend helping youngsters and teachers with digital literacy ? especially ownership, provenance, and ethics using digital technologies, as well as pedagogy in teaching about them. If we don?t pay attention now to issues like ownership of information and provenance then we?re going to run into massive problems from a citizenship point of view.

    We can tackle these issues by facilitating teacher ownership of this whole area. I always suggest that teachers undertake their own action research projects as part of their professional development.

    TF: What still needs to be done?

    CP: It is a pity that Information and Communications Technology looks as if it is being reduced mainly to ?Computing? skills in the new programmes. The shortage of youngsters in England trained to enter the computing industry needs to be tackled quickly ? but it will not only be programmers who are required. An understanding of computational logic is very valuable as well, of course, but Digital Literacy and Information Technology must be given equal weight with Computing Science.

    TF: What?s something you know you do differently than most people?

    CP: Well it all comes down to my background, in media and so on. I?m generally very focussed on the meaning that is being conveyed, and the performance. Performance in communication is very important to my approach to how we use digital technologies. I?m not very impressed by whizzy pyrotechnics for their own sake.

    The MirandaMods are a very good example of trying to use remote technology, with an emphasis on what people are saying, how they are saying it and whether they are collaborating on something innovative. The emphasis is on effective communications rather than on wonderful new technology that doesn?t achieve much.

    TF: What would you like to say to those who are just entering the field of educational ICT, in whatever capacity?

    CP: Make sure you try to be an ?all-rounder? in this area. Make sure you give broad and balanced approach i.e. including computer science and digital literacy, whether you are teaching young people or teachers

    TF: What are your top tips for anyone wishing to make an impact on a local, national or even international level?

    CP: If you are in ICT, make sure you have a genuine vision, not just a desire to use technology: it?s important to avoid being sidetracked by technology. Take MirandaNet. We were the first community of practice for teachers, founded in 1992. We?ve had a website since 1994. That?s very important: your website is your shop window, so make sure you use it.

    TF: What do you see as the role of Naace? How might the impact of our fellowship continue to develop into the future?

    CP: I think Naace has done a tremendous job of building up an inclusive community of practice with immense knowledge about delivering Information and Communications Technology. It relies on this knowledge to influence politicians and policy makers. I think it should now bring in a stronger focus on Computer Science skills at one extremity and research and pedagogy at the other extremity.

    I also think all the professional associations of educators should have ownership of their own practice and theory like medics and lawyers. In this context, as I said earlier, we are partnering with the Education Futures Collaboration ? and we hope Naace will too ? in order that the wider education community own our own resources. The current Coalition in England closed Teachers TV and Becta and other government funded websites where our research was held. We now want this kind of evidence to be reconstituted into MESH (Mapping Education Specialist knowHow) pathways (www.MESHguides.org). MESH provides access to subject-specific research-based knowledge about barriers to students? learning and interventions most likely to dissolve barriers. The MESH approach uses multimedia concept Maps, as a way of presenting complex knowledge, each node providing a link to an annotatable display of more in-depth fully referenced knowledge. These lead to credible findings like the Cochrane Review that stores doctors? research in the form of systematic reviews (http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane-reviews).

    TF: Is there anything else you?d like to add to what you?ve said?

    CP: I believe it is very important for educators to continue to build communities of practice, to raise the professional standing of teachers through action research, and to base what we do on sound pedagogical principles. And we need to continue to try to ensure that politicians and government are held to account. We live in a very exciting time as far as technological developments are concerned, but it is educational ownership and ethical elements that we need to get right.

    ~~~

    As we closed the interview, Christina was preparing to go to Australia and New Zealand to further the Education Futures Collaboration aims under the thought-provoking title ?Re-engineering: a call for collective action?. The work continues, but let?s leave the last word to Professor Cox:

    ?I am sure that when most of us are forgotten Professor Preston?s name will live on across the globe in villages, schools, colleges, universities and ministries because she manages to drive forward the use of new technologies in all sectors of education, but achieves the hardest task of all which is to take everyone with her.?

    Dentist's office a 'menace'; thousands possibly exposed to HIV

    Dr. Scott Harrington, an oral surgeon in Tulsa, Okla., is being charged for unsafe and unsanitary practices, possibly exposing as many as 7,000 patients to hepatitis and HIV after one patient tested positive for both after a visit to his office. NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman reports.

    By Justin Juozapavicius, The Associated Press

    The crisp, stucco exterior of an Oklahoma dental clinic concealed what health inspectors say they found inside: rusty instruments used on patients with infectious diseases and a pattern of unsanitary practices that put thousands of people at risk for hepatitis and the virus that causes AIDS.

    State and local health officials planned to mail notices Friday urging 7,000 patients of Dr. W. Scott Harrington to seek medical screenings for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Inspectors allege workers at his two clinics used dirty equipment and risked cross-contamination to the point that the state Dentistry Board branded Harrington a "menace to the public health."

    "The office looked clean," said Joyce Baylor, who had a tooth pulled at Harrington's Tulsa office 1? years ago. In an interview, Baylor, 69, said she'll be tested next week to determine whether she contracted any infection.

    "I'm sure he's not suffering financially that he can't afford instruments," Baylor said of Harrington.

    Health officials opened their investigation after a patient with no known risk factors tested positive for both hepatitis C and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. After determining the "index patient" had a dental procedure about the likely time of exposure, investigators visited Harrington's office and found a number of unsafe practices, state epidemiologist Kristy Bailey said.

    "I want to stress that this is not an outbreak. The investigation is still very much in its early stages," Bailey said.

    Harrington voluntarily gave up his license, closed his offices in Tulsa and suburban Owasso, and is cooperating with investigators, said Kaitlin Snider, a spokeswoman for the Tulsa Health Department. He faces a hearing April 19, when his license could be permanently revoked.

    "It's uncertain how long those practices have been in place," Snider said. "He's been practicing for 36 years."

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is consulting on the case, and agency spokeswoman Abbigail Tumpey said such situations involving dental clinics are rare. Last year a Colorado oral surgeon was accused of reusing needles and syringes, prompting letters to 8,000 patients, Tumpey said. It wasn't clear whether anyone was actually infected.

    "We've only had a handful of dental facilities where we've had notifications in the last decade," Tumpey said.

    The Oklahoma Dentistry Board lodged a 17-count complaint against Harrington, saying he was a "menace to the public health by reasons of practicing dentistry in an unsafe or unsanitary manner." Among the claims was one detailing the use of rusty instruments in patients known to have infectious diseases.

    "The CDC has determined that rusted instruments are porous and cannot be properly sterilized," the board said.

    Health officials are sending letters to 7,000 known patients but cautioned that they don't know who visited his clinics before 2007. The letters urge the patients to be tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV ? viruses typically spread through intravenous drug use or unprotected sex, not occupational settings.

    Harrington could not be reached for comment Thursday. A message at his Tulsa office said it was closed, and the doctor's answering service referred callers to the Tulsa Health Department. Phone numbers listed for Harrington were disconnected. A message left with Harrington's malpractice attorney in Tulsa, Jim Secrest II, was not immediately returned.

    Harrington's Tulsa practice is in a thriving part of town, on a row of some of medical practices. The white-and-green stucco, two-story dental clinic has the doctor's name in letters on the facade.

    NBCLatino: You may have Hep C and not know it

    According to the complaint, the clinic had varying cleaning procedures for its equipment, needles were re-inserted in drug vials after their initial use and the office had no written infection-protection procedure.

    Harrington told officials he left questions about sterilization and drug procedures to his employees.

    "They take care of that, I don't," the dentistry board quoted him as saying.

    The doctor also is accused of letting his assistants perform tasks only a licensed dentist should have done, including administering IV sedation. Also, the complaint says the doctor's staff could not produce permits for the assistants when asked.

    Susan Rogers, executive director of the state Dentistry Board, said that as an oral surgeon Harrington regularly did invasive procedures involving "pulling teeth, open wounds, open blood vessels." The board's complaint also noted Harrington and his staff told investigators a "high population of known infectious disease carrier patients" received dental care from him.

    Despite the high-risk clientele, a device used to sterilize instruments wasn't being properly used and hadn't been tested in six years, the board complaint said. Tests are required monthly.

    Also, a drug vial found at a clinic this year had an expiration date of 1993 and one assistant's drug log said morphine had been used in the clinic last year despite its not receiving any morphine shipments since 2009.

    Officials said patients will be offered free medical testing at the Tulsa Health Department's North Regional Health and Wellness Center.

    Judd for Kentucky? Not Yet, at Least for This Voter

    Would Kentucky voters back Ashley Judd in a Senate race against Republican and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, should the actress choose to run? Yahoo News asked them for their thoughts. Here's one.

    COMMENTARY | I'm a life-long Kentuckian and life-long independent, something which I do not recommend.

    It's true, I dislike Mitch McConnell. I disagree with his political views, and I'm ashamed by his behavior. More importantly, I blame him and his party for the mind-numbing political gridlock in Washington.

    However, would I vote for Judd? No, not yet anyway.

    After hearing about her possible campaign in Kentucky on NPR, I attempted to find out more about her political views. And here is the entirety of what I found: She is passionate about women's rights and a woman's right to choose, she is a big Obama supporter, and she is an environmentalist.

    Don't get me wrong. I agree with all of her views, but those political talking points constitute the entirety of Judd's political agenda. No plans, no meaningful speeches, and no depth.

    Granted, this could easily be corrected during the course of her campaign; however, I refuse to blindly vote for someone simply because they are in the opposite party. After all, that's how Rand Paul got elected.

    And anyway, exactly how does an environmentalist win in a mountain-top-removal coal-mining state?

    New music review: The Next Day, David Bowie (ISO/ Columbia ...

    Photo courtesy of Sony Music Canada

    When David Bowie?s pal John Lennon ended his reclusive five-year hiatus from the music business in 1980, it was with joyful celebrations of domesticity.

    Here?s what Bowie comes back with, after 10 years out of the public eye: ?I can see you as a corpse/ Hanging from a beam,? and ?Here am I/ Not quite dying/ My body left to rot on a hollow tree.?

    The Next Day is Bowie?s first studio album since Reality in 2003 (Forgettable? Quick, with no Web searching: which George Harrison song did he cover on that one?). As some of the lyrics on this often-thrilling comeback disc suggest, it?s not the warm, nostalgic reaffirmation portended by its first single, the leisurely ballad Where Are We Now?

    Not only are the words and images often challenging and sometimes unsettling, the music is mostly dense, dissonant and difficult ? which is all to the good. If the overall sound evokes any specific Bowie period, it might be the febrile era covering Low, ?Heroes?, Lodger and Scary Monsters. And this disc is certainly Bowie?s best work since those years.

    The-Next-Day

    Longtime producer Tony Visconti has loaded the album with claustrophobic, buried-treasure detail that occasionally has the listener gasping for air. The layers can be penetrated only through repeated listens, with quality headphones a most useful tool. The chords in the menacing Love Is Lost, for example, are so dirty that they are more a presence than actual notes, while the greasy cabaret baritone sax in Dirty Boys is strictly subterranean. The compelling, but impenetrable rhythm of If You Can See Me dares you to find the groove. And then there?s the ominous closer Heat, which is reminiscent of the pre-Tilt Scott Walker who shocked listeners with the likes of The Electrician.

    But as interesting as the chances taken might be, the disc shows even greater dimension by including stately and accessible tracks like the psychedelic I?d Rather Be HIgh, the downright catchy Dancing Out In Space and Valentine?s Day, which almost belies its grim setting ? a murderous university rampage ? ?with a sweet melody that would sound at home on a Jeff Lynne album. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die is reminiscent of Rock n? Roll Suicide (the Ziggy Stardust connection is underlined when the drum intro of Five Years is evoked near the end).

    And how about that unnerving packaging, which is simply the front and back covers of the 36-year-old Bowie classic ?Heroes?, with the original title crossed out and a white square obscuring both sides, filled by the new title and song listing?

    The defacing could be a bold, forward-thinking statement or it might be a nod to the past. Most likely, it illustrates that time is elastic for great artists. The Next Day could have been made in 1977, in the same way that ??Heroes? would sound contemporary in 2013. Lke a sizeable chunk of Bowie?s oeuvre, The Next Day stands outside of time.

    Amazon's bookish top-level domain hunt irks publishers, Barnes & Noble

    Amazon's bookish domain name hunt irks publishing groups, Barnes & Noble

    Publishers represented by the Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers have filed objections to Amazon's pursuit of new generic top-level domains ".book," ".author" and ".read." While some of those gTLDs have already come under fire from entire countries, the influential book groups told gatekeeper ICANN that "placing such generic domains in private hands is plainly anticompetitive," adding that it would allow "already dominant, well-capitalized companies" to abuse their market power. ICANN plans to assign rights to organizations or companies to manage domain suffixes like the current ".com" or ".org" and firms like Google, Microsoft and Amazon have sought names like ".app" and "movie," often in competition with each other. Competitor Barnes & Noble filed its own protest, saying that Amazon "would use control of these TLDs to stifle competition in the bookselling and publishing industries." If such protests are persuasive enough, companies could lose not only the domain name in question, but 20 percent of the $185,000 application fee -- admittedly pocket change for outfits like Amazon.

    OUYA holding official unveiling on March 28th in San Francisco

    Ouya

    We're getting closer and closer to the launch of the much-hyped OUYA console. The Android-powered gaming machine will start shipping to backers on March 28th and to celebrate the company is having a little shindig in San Francisco that will serve as a proper "unveiling." The invite just arrived in our inbox and hopefully this will be our chance to see the final hardware ahead of the June retail launch. The startup doesn't seem to just be pitching this as a massive media event either. The tagline on the invite reads, "there would be no OUYA without you." And apparently simply "saying thank you isn't enough." Aw, shucks, you're welcome OUYA.
