I love this sentiment! It perfectly encapsulates the classroom teacher's state of mind when faced with the full potential of the read/write web.
The quip belongs to Peter Lane, a California middle school reading and technology teacher. I stole it from his profile in Classroom 2.0, an online professional network that, if you are a teacher even remotely curious about technology, you must visit! In fact, Peter's expression could serve as the tagline for the whole Classroom 2.0 site, which exists, in part, for those "beginners" who seek a "supportive community and a comfortable place to start being part of the digital dialog."
For his part, Peter is engaging his students in the "digital dialog" using a mix of young adult literature, blogs, and wikis. Take a look at Mr. Lane's Effective Reading Blog.
