On-line Teacher Standards? an interesting dialogue

1. I think Derek has brought up an interesting dialogue for the New Zealand context. We currently have many educators working extremely hard towards growing teachers' capacity to provide more on-line learning opportunities for our students, with minimal guidance – if any at all! In our current climate of National standards, I understand what Derek is suggesting here is less about coming up with actual 'standards' for teachers to adhere to, and more about opening up a forum that encourages teachers to develop ideas with more consistency, that lead us to grow our understandings about what constitutes "quality on-line teaching".
