The best advice I can provide is to understand that making teachers go through the motions like it is a typical school day might not be the best course of action. You can either lurk and learn or develop your own Personal Learning Network (PLN) to farm the best ideas and strategies that are actually working in similar demographics.

Of course collaboration on a greater scale would take both time and money, and that has rarely been a priority in most schools. Collaborative learning has always been with us from the beginning of learning, however, it required that the learners occupied the same space at the same time. We all benefit through collaboration.

Of course we should not tell folks how to use Twitter, since it is a matter of personal preference as to how each user uses it and what each gets from it, so the best we can do is model what we see as successes in our own personal use.

Teachers were trained in education courses from colleges, many of which were slow to change from 19 th and 20th century models of teaching. Those educators who were invited to attend them attended education conferences. It was also a matter of whom the budget allowed for conference attendance. Sharing Is Not Bragging.
