Yes it's teachers who are so tied to pen and paper for everything. I cringe at seeing those projects on big pieces of paper and you ask about the topic and the student doesn't know anything. In fact I myself hate writing and using pen and paper. Maybe it's to do with being left handed. Educators can no longer keep their heads buried in the sand. Time will leave them behind very quickly in the next 5 years. Who would have thought a year ago that I would be podcasting and giving online presentations to people from all parts of the globe? Infact what will we be doing in 2 years time or even 12 months time? No way did I have podcasting in this years plan of things last February. But then I like new adventures, I hate repeating anything which is why I dislike washing, ironing and house work. (sorry to get off topic) So we keep on plugging and trying to win them over.

This is part of my role as well! Trying to engage students with ICT is easy - it is often teachers who find it hard to justify the use of ICT instead of insisting on pen and paper evidence of what students can do. Keep up the great work! Jenny, I can appreciate everything you have said about professional learning for teachers. This is part of my role as well!
