Obviously, I completely agree. Especially about the workload side of things. That's why I enjoy Twitter and blogging so much - you get so many ideas from other great teachers. Thanks Craig!

I just don't get why as teachers there is a tendency to operate in isolation - be it the classroom being a clearly defined territory, a teacher's private domain, to laboured over resources not being shared amongst others. It is so important that we work collegially and by doing so learn from other, share with each other our ideas and best practice and save each other the burden of excessive workloads. It is so obvious and well worth the effort to foster. Creative commons, freeware, shared spaces like wikipedia and the wonderful exchange of ideas and support on twitter are great examples of how this sharing & collaboration can work. You do a great job of sharing your ideas on this blog too! I totally agree with this sharing philosophy.
