This topic on "Boggers Who Help You Teach" addresses the issue that some educators complain about , "there just isn't enough training for teachers on how to use technology in the classroom". Teachers just aren't sure on how to create these lessons that use technology. To some educators technology is scary and a lot of work if you don't know the first thing about the technology. For some administrators it just isn't a priority and they feel that they can't spend the time to train teachers on using the new technology that is out there.
As talked about in this blog (http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/?p=1678), the new and exciting things to learn using technology can't be taught in a workshop but is rather learned through doing and trying in the classroom. It is also learned through talking and creating with other co-workers. You as the teacher is going to have to want to have a learing environment that is rich and exciting inorder for you to want to learn how to use the technology. If you aren't one of those teachers then you are going to find it difficult to learn and even if you did attend workshops, you still would not get it.
