About bashingED

bashing education is more metaphor than literal and is a call for clear thinking within education and its use of technology. As a metaphor, bash is a reference to the shell in many *nix systems. Instead of relying on the GUI-eye-candy of the point-and-click way of computing, returning to the command line is a way of thinking--a way of returning to complete control and with that control, more power.

As it applies to education--and especially technology--we really need to return to the main focus of any tool: how to use that tool for learning. In short, let's uncover the rhetoric, the slick slideware presentations, the spiffy 4-color mailers that promise and promise, and return to the days of the command line. Enter a command, and things happen. Once we're comfortable with entering in a command, we can string a couple of commands together and then perhaps do some scripting within education.
