For me looking on in here in Oz, NECC http://www.necc2008.org/ is the choir i.e. most of the teachers who attend already use Read/Write tools to connect with the world and are aware of the need for a 21st C skillset.
So here is my message to the choir… print this out, leave it laying around so people will take it home to the ‘chalkface’


You’re not a typewriter! You’re not an electronic text book! You’re not an electronic text book! You’re not a games console! You’re not a glorified piece of @$%*ing cardboard!!!
You’re the all seeing all dancing tools that enable interaction with the world!

PS Thanks for the inspiration Brad - Language Warning on this one people!
Adrian,
Funny cartoons. How do you do that? Is there a web-based program. I’ll be thinking of you in NECC.
Thanks, Adrian. I’ve just about decided to start of the Learning 2.0 conference in Shanghai in September with that very message. Stop communicating with the machine. Communicate with each other.
Wish you were coming to sing along!

But what a change it is to be conducting people on the same page in the hymn book as you are.
Perhaps we might even have the opportunity to learn a new tune or two! Even better if we join the
choir and listen to the chorus every now and then.
