It helps so much as a subject leader to hear these comments and debate such real issues borne of real experiences.

The messages you put forward make a great deal of sense and I no doubt will have these ringing in my ears as we proceed with our own endeavour.

I don't know yet if Principals and Heads are talking about this sort of stuff yet. And I know that many tech directors like to talk about network administration and budgeting over learning and curriculum. But we who do care are small in numbers but at least strategically located and hopefully willing to share our professional dilemmas with each other. With this in place, we can help each other come up with solutions. The real luxury of course, is going to be having you AND Justin to work with next year. How often does that happen?! I can't wait. Kim,

Lately I've been remembering that the things I read about online are accepted by a very small community of learners. For me it feels like the world. But, then I read about the whole laptop situation and remember that we edubloggers are actually few and far between. I am the only teacher at my school that maintains a professional blog. I think there are one or two others that read blogs when they have time, but no one else has adopted this 2.0 lifestyle - most are still somewhere around 0.5. Somehow in my virtual world, it's so easy for me to forget the real world - the one where we are now <i>removing</i> laptops from the classroom... We have to figure out a way for all of the schools (at least all of the international schools in our region - I can be a little bit selfish, right?) that are going through the same growing pains can collaborate to deal with these issues. Why does every school deal suffer through these challenges on their own? Surly more minds working together can develop a solution that would work for multiple schools, right? Excellent post Dennis!
