  • Point 3: This depends whether you have a static or evolutionary view of language. Neologisms are always uncomfortable until familiarity breeds acceptance. In English, we've been verbing nouns for centuries. If you don't like it then you must reject Shakespeare and most other great writers who indulged in the creation of new verbs this way. Caution, self-awareness and a hint of irony can make this practice more acceptable.
  • Point 8: Providing simple frameworks to help people more easily structure and remember complex knowledge can be useful as long as one acknowledges the flaws and limitations of any model. 'It's only a model'

    "A diagnostic question (or task) is one which provides evidence of a learner's understanding of a specific idea. The pupil's response gives us reasonably clear evidence about whether he or she understands, or does not understand, this idea. Sometimes the question can also help us to diagnose what a pupil's difficulty is - why he or she is not giving the correct answer. If so, this may make it easier to respond effectively and help pupils move their understanding on."
