You make some very good points here, Mark.  I agree that many teachers feel the challenge of keeping up with the skills to support students in learning technologies, and the question of willingness is a good one.Some teachers feel so taxed with demands already and are intimidated by the idea of having to do more, which is a common perception when we are faced with doing things differently. We were exposed to these perceptions in some of the conversations with some of the MAELM students during residency. There are many teachers that are resistant to technology for one reason or another.  Maybe as advocates of learning and technology we can inspire others to make the move, one manageable step at a time.
