In a galaxy far away and long ago... |
I was looking back at a post I wrote about this time in 2011 - one about a teaching staff comprising three basic types:
- Superstars (the cream - the top 5 - 10%)
- Backbones (the middle 80 - 90%)
- Mediocres (the foot draggers, the gripers)
You can read the full post here.
I am not a foot dragger, a griper, but these days I'm not a superstar either.
We have a couple of these in the department and they are great for advice. They are also hugely tech savvy. I get by, but I am not in my twenties anymore, i.e. at the cutting edge of new technologies.
I realised this as I looked at a brilliant presentation one staff member had made on fake media and I reflected on how, once upon a time, I used to teach media studies. That was 30 years ago though and I am out of date with the ebbs and flows of social media.
I intend to get more current by looking at current jargon. That will be my next post.
Let's see if a seasoned campaigner can learn new tricks.
