I have been a teacher, teacher trainer, curriculum developer, examiner, inspector, and an education advisor in five countries.In the early days there were no computers and no access to the internet.
But latterly I gave up the formal institutions to work at changing minds with NGOs in Scotland and Tanzania. The idea was to translate formal policy documents into plain language with cartoons so as to enable popular participation in the process of social development.
So the70 years of clutter is a mix of old style handwriting, typing, and word processing and more up to date online blogs and web sites married to email and various emerging social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. So the clutter has moved into the cloud which usefully does not take up shelf space.
eg about training of trainers - cyber-clutter
