Expanding boundaries in teaching

I am sitting here at the Marriott in a conference all about a whole new way of teaching and learning. I have been joined 'wikis', 'google reader', 'delicious', 'twitter', and I am starting to feel joined out! This is supposed to be up and coming in education but I wonder how far away the board of education and ministry are from giving the money for all of this technology.

Being a science teacher, I love the idea of accessing knowledge but I do not think that the computer will ever replace hands-on science.

Anyway, I think all this is super cool and I hope to be able to put it to use in my teaching practice.
