 * Comments from the Table to be added below**

Skills - are teachers ready to use the techologies -integration of environments and controls (e.g blocking of sites)

- blocking doesnt work -- students find innovative ways to access content at home and bring to school

-broadband issues in use of new technologies

-having to pay for downloads -- too expensive

--- tools and incentives are needed

- work on removing the blocking

- PD around curriculum and use of tools

- are intelligent systems in place to take the adm aspects out and leave the teacher to teach

-- have missed the point because there is a focus on the use of the tools and not the integration into learning

- -- access to courses and content developed from a range of places -- able to bring the best together

--its about achieving the best teaching -- making authentic experiences and engaging the students

-- teacher the catalyst in bringing all together

-- still a role for telling -- teaching -- not everything can be done by collaborative learning

--- PD -has existed but do not have a curriculum to work from -- the focus has been on the use of the tools -- needs to be more about the theory and the integration of ool in theory

-- boads to look at PD which involves people from emerging technologies, curriculum, admin, etc

-- focus should be on collaboration and bringing it together -- about engaging in conversation and bringing it together.

_ need to create links btw things -- ephemeral material is being built on and it becomes a resource.

--move away from top down -- viral and engagement of communities

-- cannot have both collaboration and control

-- models of professional learning --
