I'm an ICT Coordinator at a primary school here in Adelaide, Australia and we've installed 6 ActivBoards in classrooms here and my job is to support the teachers using them to make sure it is successful. I'm flat out trouble shooting and making sure they know how to operate the toolbox at the moment to even start looking bigger picture to more revolutionary use of these tools. I think time is something that all teachers need and find it hard to make an effort for in their busy professional lives. And I want them to share the journey with each other (I've got a wiki for them to contribute to) but I'm scared they will be too busy working out how to import text or change background colours to do that. Just on a final note, I really love your site - what a fantastic resource you have built up here. I've only just started to contribute to the blogosphere (shameless plug - <a href="http://teachgenz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://teachgenz.blogspot.com/</a>) but weblogg-ed is a great example of the potential of Web 2.0. You are dead right, you learn heaps more from the teachers you find. Now how much is Web 2.0 going to scare those teachers who don't want an Activboard near them!
