The document outlines the activities and discussions at a teacher training session on using blogs and ICT in the classroom. It instructs teachers to find partners to discuss their blogs, explore example teacher blogs, engage in questioning exercises, reflect on their learning individually and in groups, and choose actions to implement their new knowledge in the classroom. It concludes by encouraging teachers to continue sharing ideas through blogging and wikis at future practical sessions on classroom ICT integration.

16. Final Thought The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat!!!
