GAM- Game Model
Playing Games: Hegemony as Enemy by Alan Amory, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
Many argue that the three most influential writers today are Umberto Eco, Richard Dawkins and Noam Chomsky. In Dreaming in the Middle Ages, Eco defines the phenomena of neomedievalism to confront pop-culture in a globalised corporate world – the language and structures of the past are perpetuated into a future where fiefdoms exploit and undermine civil society. Dawkins, on the other hand uses signs and symbols of science to explore and decry the rise of fundamentalist belief systems. Chomsky, who was involved in the development of cognitive science when he challenged Skinner's behaviourist approach to the study of language, continues to explore power relations especially those related to American politics. Therefore modern fiefdoms perpetuate fundamentalism through capitalistic and religious power structures. Are the relationships between educational technology, society and teaching and learning, which are part of Eco-Dawkins-Chomsky world view, perpetuating the past into the future? This presentation explores the design, development, use and evaluation of educational technology in relationship to belief systems to identify the rhetorical acts that are part of the dialectic struggle to liberalise and democratise educational practices.

Vienna Day, June 30, 2008
My daughter and I stayed in a Wombat Hostel last night. We figured out the metro/ underground station to come to the conference area.
One amazing thing! You can register for 1 euro to a bike station and use the bike around the city. First hour is free and you can return and take the bike again from any listed location. As long as you return within an hour, it is free. The bikes were a bit big for my daughter. We will try again tomorrow.
My skype is on today and I am waiting to hear from PT4T students at WPUNJ. Peace, MNY
