Very well deserved. Does my memory serve me well - didn't you get an award at ACEC 95 in Perth also. I know you were there and for some reason your name stayed with me.

Do not underestimate the part that these conferences played in this discourse or the value of your thoughts. WHilst history will remember the nuts and bolts of the technology revolution, it is important that we also record impressions such as yours to better understand the dreams and aspirations that fired them on.

An IWB on any surface (floor, wall, ceiling, table, LCD screen, even in the air using a smoke machine), for only $55. The software has been extensively developed to offer functionality that matches commercially available IWB's and we hope to soon exceed the functionality of some commercially available IWB’s. All software and hardware is open-source (except the Wiimote). This is my demo video from earlier this year: http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=2f430289b3d1db5218e1 You can find out more at http://www.wiimoteproject.com you find me there as a staffer, user: benpaddlejones.

Too many 'controls' are being touted; this reduces an individual's (student/teacher) desire and need to get involved. I think we need to focus more strongly on the control issue.

Either I'm on class or we don't have enough time to work with the idea they want to implement. I feel like I'm pulled multiple directions - if only there were more of me to help these willing teachers who want ot use technology!!!

It's good to know that you found the article useful. I should have included time (or lack of it) as one of the things. I'm not sure why I didn't. A colleague commented recently that their research showed that time is not really the issue. It's not that simple. There will always be more demands on teachers time than they can deal with. It's more about making ICT a priority with the limited time teachers have. ICT won't be an important priority for some teachers unless it is made an important part of the school's priorities and made accountable. A slightly different take rather than just saying "we don't have time". Hi Dave,

I was mightily impressed with the clarity these powerful ideas have been documented by Bryn and Chris.
