Perhaps a change in culture on the part of principles and school board adminisratiors might allow time for teachers to network, collaborate, exchange ideas and information that might lead to more effective teaching strategies. After all, you might find you do not have to reinvent the wheel. The isolation you speak of is one of the obstacles of course that teachers face daily and one which presents some interesting challenges for you and your colleagues.

You make some very valid points. I agree with you about some of the benefits that cross training could provide. Perhaps organizations should make time for purposeful interorganizational collaboration. Who knows....they might find that solutions to some of their problems are right under their noses?

I agree with Amanda about not forgetting the wealth of information that our own organizations have. As a teacher, I am relatively isolated from my peer teachers. I spend a vast majority of my day in my own classroom (away from all other teachers) teaching to my own students. I rarely have the opportunity to sit down and meet with my peer teachers to discuss what strategies work well for them. I know that my co-workers have a vast amount of experience and knowledge that they could share with me, but because of the way the teaching schedule works and the convince of the Internet, I often do not rely on that knowledge. I think a little bit of inter-organizational collaboration and knowledge management could go a long way in my school and in my overall development as a teacher. Great post Dot.

However, we must not forget the wealth of information employees have within our own organization. We can easily capture information that involves procedures and processes but the tacit knowledge is more difficult to write down or relay. Cross training employees or employees from different departments working on projects together provides employees an opportunity to transfer their knowledge from experiences and perceptions.

The process, if well structured or customized has the potential to really cut down on the amount we spend on to solve different work-related problem. I'm with you that we could all benefit from searching specific subjects on these blogs. Thanks for your feedback Suha.

This is is an area that I need to get more educated about. I am always drawn to the concept of collaboration in elearning environments and I'm glad to see it first on your list. I recently started following bloggers more and more. I am thrilled at the sharing of valuable knowledge that exists out there. Dot,
