I have just finished reading the Wiki by John Heath and the article is amazing....I found myself immersed in the different theories and ideas suggested by many but put together so well by John.
I found myself relating to so many of the scenarios I don't know where to start...
Probably the most notable is, as I have mentioned I have changed jobs recently, and it was, as John suggests a move from an unsupportive environment to a supportive environment of early adopters of new and innovative educational technology. In terms of Convergence of resources, I was in a situation where the hierarchy was not supportive of my efforts to establish technology based education or even constructivist pedagogy into the classroom. Despite the excellent results I achieved and the high rating of student satisfaction and course growth...Therefore, the innovation was limited to my classroom.
Frustrated with the insistence on holding back the move towards this new technology, the extensiveness (as John puts it) was not there and so I was left with little option but to find a new and more innovative worklpace.
This is just one example of my life experience being clearly identified through JOhn's witing. A very well written wiki which summarises much of the course (I think!).
