I agree one million times over! I've sent you an email about my frustrating 2 weeks spent setting up a new blog. I've spent days trawling thru 100s of tutorials by experts who don't understand what most bloggers want, and might as well be speaking Klingon. Liz, I soooo agree with this post.

Reviewing the role of the teacher and the expectations we hold as to teaching/learning also echoes what Howard Rheingold said, i.e. that the traditional teaching model is inadequate for online social networks and this is largely due to a shift in the producer/consumer dichotomy. Good teaching skills are still key to successful learning but they now need to centre much more on knowledge sharing and the ability to allow the student to discover which implies that a good share of the teaching work needs to focus on preparing learners to see the world from a rather new angle. Knowledge production and consumption is becoming so very much of a hybrid that teachers will also need to put more emphasis on ethics, plagiarism and the role of responsible sharing. While this might be easier among the Generation Digital Native - many of those in the corporate world, especially in Europe - seem to be unwilling to step out of their comfort zone and let go of power in order to re-gain it. http://britbohlinger.wordpress.com Agree with you, Liz, there is still a lot to come.

I wonder if folks who are playing around w/social media apps and sites might be better gauges in these areas? I try an app, test things out and then track my efforts/results that way :) Hmm.
