New Dimensions - Barbara Bray, techLearning

As the world changes around us, schools are taking notice. Business has restructured into more of a B2B model with an internal system composed of suppliers, distributors, service and infrastructure providers and an external system of customers that use the Internet for communications and transactions. (Tapscott, 2001) Businesses are creating teams that use new ways of working and learning. Schools, investigating integration, are following suit. Schools can use a similar Web model that encompasses the entire community and uses Internet tools for whole system change, including addressing how teachers learn. More than individual teacher professional development, we need to embrace whole school development.
