Gospels of Failure Joho the Blog The hosts of the BardCast podcast consider Cymbeline to probably be Shakespeare’s worst play. Not enough happens in the first two acts, the plot is kuh-razy, it’s a mishmash of styles and cultures, and it over-explains itself time and time again. That podcast is far from alone in thinking that it’s the Bard’s worst, although, as BardCast says, even the Bard’s worst is better than just about anything. Nevertheless, when was the last time you saw a performance of Cymbeline? We saw it yesterday afternoon, in its final performance at Shakespeare & Co in Lenox, Mass. It was directed by the founder of the company, Tina Packer, and showed her usual commitment to modernizing Shakespeare by finding every emotional tone and every laugh in the original script. These two embellishments are emblematic of the problem with the play. To be clear, most of the interpretations seem to bring Shakespeare’s intentions to life, even if unexpected ways. So, this may well be Shakespeare’s worst play.
Techdirt. A Twelve Step Program For Identifying and Eliminating Organizational Change Introduction There is a saying in medicine that ninety percent of one's practice is keeping the patient comfortable while the disease runs its course. In other words: stalling. Many non-medical problems are self limiting: software manufacturers routinely choose not to fix bugs in their products, preferring instead to offer an "upgrade" which promises that the old bugs will be fixed. Once again, stalling is the hero. Of more interest to readers of this paper is what one ought to do about those nagging waves of technology and process that frequently crash into the shores of corporate America: TQM, CQI, function point analysis, Meyers-Briggs, Personalysis. So what does one do? If twelve step programs work for alcoholics, gamblers, and sexual special interests, the approach can surely be adapted to mere work and its problems. [2] We know that one can't make progress until one admits that she has a problem, so we must all resist the temptation to use the ostrich's technique for stalling.
2¢ Worth Listen A few weeks ago I worked and attended North Carolina's ISTE affiliate conference. I opened the NCTIES conference with a breakfast keynote address and Marc Prensky closed it with a luncheon keynote the next day. Sadly, I missed the second day of the conference. I would first offer some constructive criticism to NCTIES , and to all such ed-tech conferences across the nation and around the world. The only idea I can think of is to have one or two session rooms devoted to unconference topics. Now to the surprises It was in the student showcase, a part of most ed-tech conferences that I often miss, using it as an opportunity to visit the exhibitors or dash up to my room for something or other. She then began telling me what they were doing, describing some of the communication skills they were learning as well as social studies and character. “No software. After my hesitation, she continued, “..the game master.” Seeing this was energizing to me. Donna Hitchings, Snaderson HS, WCPSS
