I used a number of your approaches for my small workshop last week on introducing blogs and blogging to teachers. The mini workshop was fine, except I was a bit dissappointed at the low turnout and general lack of interest in my school. I have another brief session on Monday and I know my words will need to be even more focussed on simple messages re. ease of use etc.. I will especially bear in mind your belief that teachers need to have invested in their personal use of technology before using it in the classroom. I think your bang on with this viewpoint. All the best, Brent Hi Dean,
