Getting a little ragged at 'In the Wild'

1407988038_4ac65f50d0 Very much enjoyed my time at Channel Four's latest incarnation of In The Wild, their forum series exploring wellbeing, kids education and Web 2.0 - this time as a sideshow to the Scottish Learning Festival in Glasgow. I have to say I enjoyed it mostly for sparring with Carol Craig, the head of the Centre for Confidence and Wellbeing - whose speech clarified a lot of my problems with the hidden normativity, and neo-Puritanism, of the 'happiness' debates. I'm perhaps not the most objective person to report on this, so let me point you to a very useful account of our debate from an edublogger (a new category of blogger, of which Ewan Macintosh is the pertest possible exemplar) called Alan Coady.
