A brilliant post by Liz.
My favourite on the list:
6. Remember there is great teaching without technology: There are many ways to teach and many great lessons that do not use technology. Respect the expertise of your colleagues.

It's about the learning not the tools, but how do we find the balance when helping teachers that are new to the tools?

Start with the idea and apply the tool.

If you start with the tool first…you have a lesser chance of effecting learning. This happens to me quite often. A teacher will come to me and say “I want to blog.”

OK, that’s great, but why? What are you thinking? Why do you want to blog? What do you know about a blog?

I’d encourage you to plan your own local events. Use the essential questions at the bottom of each presentation to guide you. If you have something in the works or just want to flesh out the ideas some more, leave a comment.

I want students to know this kind of learning… in school. I want them to be active members in a global learning network. I want them to follow their own interests, to make choices about what information they will choose to pay attention to, what to check later, and what to filter out. I want students to be 21st Century learners.

# Knowledge of School Effectiveness – We need the rigour of this tradition to answer the question: What do we know?
# Knowledge and Practice of School Improvement – We need to move our knowledge into action to improve the learning lives of all our young people. How do we apply what we know?
# Imagination – An emerging body of work is making a difference to learner engagement. How can we incorporate this thinking into our learning improvement work?
# System Transformation – Jurisdictions around the world are making the shift from sorting to learning systems. Can we work together to build on our strong traditions and foster innovation?

David has been using his 'Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts' blog as the hub of his personal learning environment for two years now, charting his use of Web2.0 tools with his students along the way. His blog profile describes him as, "A husband, a parent... An educator, a student... A thinker, a dreamer... An agent of change." He obviously has a few paradigms to work from!

Personal Reflections:

-This was the first time I tried to do technology based professional development, beyond introducing a few tools to my staff, and I am happy with how things went.
