I have not had any success convincing any change is important and valuable. Even though the principal is open to all these ideas but does not understand them yet, there are roadblocks along the way.

One of the things I have been giving thanks for is the whole new world that blogging and my continuously-expanding community of learners/colleagues has opened up for me. I like your concept of introducing an element of play into lessons and professional development workshops. My own technology knowledge has been and will always be piecemeal and, to a certain extent, serendipitous. I need to remember to convey this to my students and peers: I am not an expert, nor do I claim to be...this is what I've discovered - come explore with me! diane Carolyn,
