ccti-1b-4-activity 8- why wait for ICT before examining our teaching practices?
Maybe I misinterpreted the question but isn't evaluation of our practices an ongoing process? I think self-evaluation and reflection should be something that teachers do frequently. There is no reason to wait for ICT.

I tweaked the Mankato scale and gave it to my staff. It helped some teachers to see that they actually knew more about ICT than they thought. Integrating ICT will be an arduous task.

ccti-2a-5- Activity 11-Personal Learning Network
I recognize the benefits of having a personal learning network. However, judging by my track record with posting on facebook and responding to e-mail,(even snail mail) how effective would it be? I saw my birthday messages five months after my birthday. I am a member of an educators' group set up on fb last year summer. I have never visited siince last summer. My problem would not be setting up a pln, it would be maintaining contact.

ccti2a-4- activity 10- Can we be smart workers?
I think it essential to be a smart worker but it will not be easy to accomplish. One teacher said to me that she was unsure how to integrate ICT into her lessons, but in a school where several teachers do this regularly, she had asked no one for help. If we cannot communicate to enhance our professional development face to face, using ICT skills to become 'smart workers' is a thing of the distant future.
The ability to change, adapt and embrace new ideas will in the near future distinguish teachers who move upward and those who remain stagnant.
