Teachers Be In or Be Out

A great blog post from TonNet about teachers jumping on board and learning Web 2.0 from students. "Get rid of top down, expert driven instruction methods and nurture self-directed discovery- both your own and theirs. Turn your passions into classroom curriculum." Obviously much can be learned in collaborative process. "Sylvia Martinez says we are trying to solve this 21st C PD issue in schools with 6% of the population (teachers) when 94% of the population (kids) are better positioned to help us learn what we need to know to be successful." Does anyone think this is a valid statement? I am glad I keep this blog in my reader.
