I would love to some of the students that are really into technology work with educators so they could all gain from the interaction. Sue Hi Val

Interestingly there is a program in USA where students run professional development workshops for teachers to learn technology skills. I would love to some of the students that are really into technology work with educators so they could all gain from the interaction.

I suppose what is happening is students are using a range of applications during their education and we all keep assuming that they are learning to use them well. Sue Hi John

Regarding feeling you way along --I do it all the time. I have just set up some work with them on a wiki and told them that we are learning as we go, for great things to happen we have to understand that things may not go as we expect. Sue Hi Simon

My advice re the last point, ie "fear engaging with the use of technology with their student because of THEIR BELIEF that their students technology skill level has to be better than theirs." is to plan how the technologies can best be used WITH the students and allow the students to take the lead and teach the teachers how to use the technologies - reverse mentoring. Imagine Sue, if you were doing a course with me as the teacher and I dictated to you how we were going to use mobile technologies to learn. It would be frustrating for you - your knowledge of mobile technologies for learning is much greater than mine. I would be much wiser to recognise the knowledge you, and possibility other students, have and plan with you how to do it best. Good one Sue.
