Educational Origami

I found this interesting blog article while I was cruising around in the blogosphere.

Connecting teachers to policy makers in 10 steps

I like this its a good article and make sense.

It also relates very well to another paper I like on Managing complex change by Thousand and Vila. This is a brilliant paper. The integration of ICT into a school is with out a doubt complex change, and in order for this to occur one must have a number of key elements (Vision, Skills, Incentives, resources and an action plan) without which change will not happen.

vision + skills + incentives + resources + action plan = change
skills + incentives + resources + action plan = confusion
vision + incentives + resources + action plan = anxiety
vision + skills + resources + action plan = resistance
vision + skills + incentives + action plan = frustration
vision + skills + incentives + resources = treadmill
