Reflections - letting the reigns go

Something I have been thinking about this year is, "does our current education systems allowe for change?".
My thinking is that skills and technology is no longer the major issue in bringing ICT in to schools. The real issue is how, or if, schools will make the "change" happen.
The theme of "letting the reigns go".
When you put inquiry, ICT, and integration together you can no longer work within the parameters of "normal" planning and management systems.

There are two key areas to "letting the reigns go".
1) Teachers need to let go. Teachers need to allow students to take more responsibility in how they communicate their learning. Differentiating the content, process, product and learning environment.
2) The school needs to be more flexible with how individuals plan and manage their classrooms. There seemed to be a consensus between presenters that having too much emphasis school wide focuses can actually stifle creativity and the use of ICT.
