Because of the reluctance of teachers in our school to learn new computer technology and their lack of time when they consider that NCLB does not need this knowledge, we had consensus that our role in the coming years is to be, instigator, motivator, collaborator, and “wedge” in convincing teachers and staff that these wonderful computer applications will enhance their teaching and improve the end of the year results. We felt that the training we need most involves a lot of hands-on experience to become fluent in the use of the programs we learn about.
 * Probing Questions:**
 * What elements of your school's research culture need to change?
 * What Web 2.0 tools will best enhance your program this coming school year?
 * How will your role evolve in the coming 2 years? And, what training do you most need to retool for the coming 2 years?

What would you add or leave off the manifesto?
 * What is your vision for hybrid service that would best meet the needs of your learning community?
 * What tools will you use to reflect on and improve your practice? How will you demonstrate your progress with learners?
