Hi Bonnie, I read your comment as suggesting that teachers are incapable of technical self-development due to extraneous factors (or have I misunderstood?). A lot of the work we did with Telecentre's in the '90's involved working with remote district schools to give teachers contact with technology - In many cases it was a matter of kids teaching the teachers, however it was not uncommon for teachers to also use the Telecentre after school-hours for individual skills development. I'm not sure I agree with you that all teachers lack the will and drive required for self-development in the face of adverse learning conditions (time constraints etc.).
