In K12, things were driven by the principal. If they didn't drive the change then things didn't happen. In that situation the ITRT was more like an administrator but even then they didn't have the power necessary to lead the change. Too often the tech integrator position ends up with the idea that they are the teacher, change leader etc. - not a very successful idea to have with adults who "out rank" you and have no requirement to interact with you. There's also that big difference between being part of a community and sycophantic schmoozing. Lots of ways to go wrong. On a positive note, your feed is working fine in Google Reader. Tom I think you’re right, that’s where things fall down over and over again.
