Teacher Expectations with Technology

Hi Guys

Question:
What are your expectations for teachers taking initiative to make sure
they understand and use technology systems beyond their training and
professional development? Realizing that there are different methods
of uptake and retention on an individual basis, we are primarily
talking about things like Moodle/Blackboard, SIS software, teacher web
pages, and eTextbooks. Web 2.0 tools such as NING, Twitter,
Podcasting, etc still being left up to the more motivated individual
by choice.
At what point does "hand-holding" taper off to wean the individual? Do
you have instances of a few that just don't get it?

Thanks for your feedback.
