I agree. Teachers should set the example of lifelong learning be it new technology, new language or whatever.
It signals that we value learning; it reminds us what it is like to be outside the comfort zone; it encourages us to find new ways to learn(so we can pass these on to our pupils) and the act of watching another teacher can help us to identify good and weak practice.
