I've heard some really interesting things about the use of technology in th=
e Australian schools. I would want to spend the vast majority of my sabbat=
ical visiting a variety of schools in Australia, at least 2-3 days per scho=
ol, observing classes and talking with teachers and technology directors. =
I'd want to see what worked, what didn't, and why, and how students feel ab=
out using technology. I'd like to compare that with my experience back her=

my school, which of course would also be shared by others.

Just to get the question out of the way... no, my school does not provide
sabbatical years.
However, let's just imagine that a school did provide sabbaticals, and a
requirement of the year was that you spend time investigating in depth
some question related to education and information technology.
What would you spend the year investigating?
Thanks for any brainstorms you are willing to send the list's way.
