Interesting observations from quizzical looks to outright denial to been there done that. It worked as intended but was somewhat scary. Thats why the just in time model of individual need in PD is powerful. Email is our tech tool of comfort, so daily follow ups to support our beginners PBL will encourage even more engagement. Already 3 new subject wikis this week, these early adopters just needed support and 5 minutes of guidance. Individual staff are at diverse stages of readiness and this too will be exponential. Our college aim is to ensure a self defeating chasm does not develop between the autonomous expert digital academises who race off individually and our current reality of trying to work in a det system of controlled change. We are convinced baby steps are good steps and suit our needs because the people are good and will change with support. Graham, see your nomination over at http://tsearl.edublogs.org/2008/08/30/web20-is-real-people/, thanks for the learning so far. Top stuff indeed.

Perhaps we need to suggest to one of the National bodies that they should get him out? @Graham True however it would be costly to bring out Darren.

Email is one of the best ways to pass messages on. If our fellow staff will not enter the blogosphere by emailing them a video or 2 throughout the year we might instigate a small babystep towards them embracing change. I can remember receiving many emails months and Years after Karl's "Did you Know" Shift Happens video came out. I graciously smiled and said Yes this is a great message Now what are you going to do with it..... Small changes happened. Baby steps. Thanks for writing Graham.
