I will walk carefully so as not to tread on any feelings regarding names of blogs, or careers or anything else. ;-) I also feel fairly safe behind "e-Clippings" since I'm not about to drop the e and start mailing out actual clippings or anything.

Perhaps too it is the historian in me that looks to Merriam-Webster and sees that the definition of "technologia" is "systematic treatment of an art" that finds some resonance there with my focus on 'learning as an art' and is OK with applying a 'technological' label to that.

So all that is preface to say that I don't really have a problem with the use of 'technology' - my problem is actually with the use of the word 'learning.' Not in the sense that it can refer to what people inside their heads but instead I object to they way our industry has productized the word and tried to make people believe that 'learning' is something that can be bought or sold or designed or managed with an LMS. Can someone please bring me a box of learning?

So maybe I stayed up too late last night and am posting too early this morning but I think the better debate might be focused on how we misuse 'learning' versus how we misplace the "e"
