Building+a+Plane+in+Flight

=Building a Plane in Flight!= //Rochelle's ICT Journey//

She got me to thinking about our profession as teachers in these times. As a teacher I "build the plane in flight", I feel the exhilaration that those engineers describe, the pressure of the atmosphere. Not so long ago teachers could not have possibly "launched" into flight until the "plane was built" and may be that is how you feel now? I would like you to join me in reflecting on this analogy and the relationships between "building a plane in flight" and teaching today and in the future. Over the next fortnight I will add a podcast to each of the statements below. I hope I can evoke and provoke you. Share your thinking by adding to the discussion page above.
