Hate acronyms? Sorry, but this is mine ( I think). it stands for 'New Best Thing'. We seem to be suffering epidemics of these. I guess they are a by-product of consumerism, but they seem prevalent everywhere.
If I have lost you, my imaginary reader, then I shall allucidate.
A NBT is the thing that someone tells you you MUST HAVE ( USE, WANT, NEED, etc.)
In the world of ivory towers, it is a VLE ( ah, don't you love them!) a.k.a. virtual learning environment. Not one where learning is virtual, God forbid, but a web-based tool through which young minds are nurtured, etc.
Please dont' think I am a cynic ( sic), I think they are great, I just love it when someone startes to tell me about their NBT !
What's yours?
