Technology training for teachers: A better way

"Everyone believes teachers have to understand technology before they use it in their classrooms, and professional development is the preferred method to grow that understanding. Instead of using technology to teach about technology, every school jurisdiction deploys the same in-service workshops, demonstration lessons, and peer modeling that have been the supposed levers of innovation for the last 50 years. The national Teachers Network ('TeachNet') addresses this issue - it was designed to add digital networking to face-to-face (f2f) networking."
