Cool blog! I really enjoyed that post, especially how you used the quote that was a metaphor of sorts. I think technology is a great way for students/teachers/schools all over the world to connect. It bridges the gap that distance causes and adds a new element to teaching. Please visit my blog: dominiquelovestoread.edublogs.org -Dominique Hi!

Using web 2.0 and multimedia to create, co-create web 2.0 content and digital objects that are shared globally. A huge shift for many teachers still caught up in the paper and pencil world. I agree with you, guide the teachers who want to, they'll be the real catalysts and as they gather momentum others will be caught in the flow or wither in their wake. “…organic to the new mediums..”

I am like minded and impatient too with teachers moving forward to using ICT as a tool not an addition to the learning programme. There is a great You Tube clip about changing the DNA of teachers which immediately came to mind when thinking about the old wine/new bottles ananolgy. I commend your school for moving in a new direction in your role next year, this will be wonderful professional development for the teachers and it will make them realise, it CAN be done, they CAN do it, and it ENGAGES students and ultimately RAISES achievement. I look forward to reading how this will go next year for you! Well done, you are not alone! That quote really sticks with me too!

I totally agree, there's never going to be the perfect moment for PD for all, and it's those people that jump in and give it a go anyway that are the agents of change for your schools. I'm thankful for those that do! Thanks so much for your comment.

What a great way to learn! I have a similar impatience. Involved in planning a local web 2.0 meet-up event and there are only 4 of us attending. Teachers keep saying it isn't a good month for them, but every month seems to not be a good month. I think if you really want to learn, grown and help others learn; you make time! Right?!
