A terrific blog here www.edu.blogs.com
This session: “We’re Adopting: An Adoption Strategy for Social Software in Education"
Discussion of how to get this model of the 'go getters ' in educators and make that far more pervasive throughout education.
Strategy for getting this to happen:
Identify key user groups
Understand key users
Let them evangelise
Turn these key users into trainers
Support bottom-up and emergent behaviours
Ewan discusses fear as a motivator in teaching and education. The fear is inherent in new technologies and how important it is for those 'go getters' teachers to show that they too get nervous about the new tech, but the mistakes they make is ok. It's what I've been calling the Tech Curve :)
The podcast of the session will be here: techclub.mypodcast.com
