Stuck in a Rut ... educators

Something that continually challenges and gives me the occasional moments of personal angst is the professional question ... am I stuck in a rut?

Whilst one cannot be all things to all people and be able to teach all technologies at all times. It is essential to remain current, open to change and open to the inclusion of a new technology in my teaching.

Yet, out there I encounter so many, abusing their students with a knowledge set, not only outdated, but with an intractable obstinance. 

They do not wish to change ... intent on teaching topics of little value, dated or inapplicable. 

Mostly out of a inability to change, often through fear, some lazy and many who seem to have trapped themselves into a view that they are incapable of learning something new for a multitude of reasons.

Are you in this rut?
