Edu-speak bingo

Both Cherrie and Artichoke have recently noted the love affair educationalists have with jargon. Here's Cherrie on edu-speak:

…there is so much jargon all over the place when it comes to education—too many cliches that people think they understand, but don't. It's ironic really, because it's a lot like school—if you remember the keywords to write in your answer, it mostly doesn't matter whether you understand it or not.

Meanwhile Artichoke, who is busy defending her reputation for anticipating edu-speak trends, is seriously considering bagsing Communities of Practice for 2006. For what it's worth, my money's on that perennial favourite: collaboration.
