Be very afraid if a presentation's title is "WARNING". That would draw kids in and It isn't kid-appropriate. This can be an issue with some of the awesome tools like those you describe. d Whoa!

How can we motivate other teachers into using these (pedagogically sound) tools? I guess the first step is to show others how it can be done (effectively), the second is probably to get on board those teachers who are willing to give it a go (giving a few more supporters of the 'cause') and then it will be easier to show the rest how interesting it can be. I guess some reactions stem from fear - fear of change, fear of not knowing how to do something, fear of leaving behind what is known and safe.

Yes – that is a valid point. How can we motivate other teachers into using these (pedagogically sound) tools?

I guess the first step is to show others how it can be done (effectively), the second is probably to get on board those teachers who are willing to give it a go (giving a few more supporters of the ’cause’) and then it will be easier to show the rest how interesting it can be.

I guess some reactions stem from fear – fear of change, fear of not knowing how to do something, fear of leaving behind what is known and safe. If we can take away some of the fear, part of the battle may be won……
