    We have been in the midst of looking at some of our courses and have one that we plan to revise to meet some of the needs of current teachers. I would consider some of the topics we are including in a technology course that would be geared to teachers from any area:

    - Changing students, changing information environment –> changing schools?
    - The participatory culture of the web (e.g., Web 2.0 including educational uses of tools such as blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, collective resource sites such as Flickr, online gaming
    - Online communities (MySpace, Facebook, Whoville, Second Life)
    - Communicating digitally
    - Folksonomies
    - Social knowledge construction through these tools
    - Personal information management
    - The place of these tools in the schools of today and tomorrow (and some of the obstacles to their use)
