My worries are that teachers forget that it's not about just following passions for students. As teachers, facilitators and activators (thanks @digitallearnin), it is our job to know our students' needs and scaffold their next steps. "Standing on the side" does not mean standing at a distance. We stand close enough to motivate, question, and assist.
I'm fascinated by the possibilities of what we are still calling e_learning...triggered by a desire to engage learners as I am engaged. I went to a workshop a few years ago and on returning to school, the principal asked me what I thought. "Like a hog in mud," I enthused. E_learning isn't just about using digital tools. It's about developing a whole new way of learning and starting to see that we don't have to stick with current models of education. The possibilities are exciting!
