What Inspires YOU?- You can use other people to help you motivate yourself

The message is loud and clear that collaboration is the future of learning. Things will be changing radically in some areas, and things will change very slowly in others. Some brave souls have to light the way. I can see now first hand how frustrating it can be to try to learn new technology....but when you get the moments where you can see the potential of the sharing, and that technology is the only way to do this, it motivates me more...to persevere.
I've been so lucky to learn during the past month with bright learners from all over the world. Learning about the culture of others has been an interesting side benefit of the Moodle course. We have made friends with people who we will probably never meet in person, but who have become important in our lives. 
We've also learned something very valuable, and that is that we do not have to start from scratch to create learning material. It is there, it is available, and sharing it feels great! Learning collaboratively with people from all over the world is something we need to be doing.
