I continue to think that PD around edtech needs to take place in a variety of ways and contexts. I have found that modeling the use of IT from the context of my own courses, and sharing with faculty I work with the rationale and impact on learning...the connection made to integration / practice seem much more appealing to them. I think this confirms the perspective you share here. At the same time...I have talked up one side and down about the learning research related to IT...and routinely get some dull stares. I'm at a little bit of a loss about understanding what impact this has had down the road on decision making to use IT in new ways...or not. This resonates, Michael.
