2006 CALL SYMPOSIUM NOTES

 

 

ITEMS THAT GAVE CREDENCE TO THE E:P:N THEOREM:

 

Mike Levy highlighted that the keywords in articles by opposing camps were mutually exclusive: that what one considered to be valid and important, the other didn’t. (From the E:P:N perspective, they must have been keywords from papers written by a proton and an electron soul respectively. Had the keywords overlapped considerably, I would have presumed they were written by a neutron soul.  Some overlap in keywords is found in extreme camps, but usually out of courtesy or to criticize the other.)

 

REFLECTION & INPUT: Protons and electrons (in any complex environment) seem to be doomed to see only one side of an issue. Physicists tell us that without neutrons, complex atoms (productive workgroups) cannot long exist. As teachers, we have the responsibility of being that neutron element to permit the stable growth of our students. The E:P:N classroom will help us do that. In fact, I am convinced that whatever a CALL lab can do, an E:P:N classroom can do better.
