Re: Where are we?

Bill, Mark,

Sorry for not replying to the original message.

Mark's suggestion is fine by me.


Cheers,

Hi,

I sent this message out 3 weeks ago and Mark is the only one to respond so far.  We will need to give another report on our doings at the ELP meeting next Tuesday, and I was hoping we could announce some details of the training session on Dec. 1st.  Are we ready for that?  Should we try to meet before next Tues? 

Cheers,

Bill

It looks like we have a plan then --

1. Work on and complete the manuals.
2. Plan for a group training session on Dec. 1st
3. Confirm the degree and extent of needed imposition of standardized practice such as a Gmail only policy.
4. Determine our position on "changes in individual work practices and certain attitudes that are not yet widely understood or agreed upon." and how to implement that position.

Sounds like we need a meeting or five?  When would we like to meet next?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi C3ers,

Dec 1 best I think.

I think it would also be very useful to have the 'manuals' available before then to help inform the discussion.

At present, staff have had only a brief intro. to Firefox, Gmail, and GDocs, nothing yet on Delicious & tagging, the Reader as information centre, or blogs as course homepages, or using these tools as an integrated work environment to support social work.

And even regarding Gmail, I think we need to discuss moving over to Gmail exclusively within the ELP, peoples' concerns, and the support they feel they need. Then an ELP decision needs to made on the date C3 asks Kobayashi-san to start forwarding all teachers ICU mail to their Gmail accounts.

Rushing,

Owen.

Hi,

Should we plan to put a discussion like this on the agenda for Oct 28? It's the only chance we have left this term.  Can we be ready for it by then? An alternative is to plan for something on Dec 1, when we have two hours for the ELP meeting.  I think the latter would be my preference.

I will announce the work on the manuals. I'm also happy to encourage teachers to explore one or two tags as Mark suggested.  We can put directions on how to access that information in the minutes of the meeting.

Hi Bill & C3ers,

I have drafted up draft manuals for coordinators and teachers that I would like to offer for C3 discussion and revision, and then to make available for staff. Knowing that a 'manual' of some kind is coming for staff is useful information.

There is also the looming discussion the ELP needs to have on the realities of working with the C3 plan. The plan calls for changes in individual work practices and certain attitudes that are not yet widely understood or agreed upon.

Best,

Owen.

Hi,

I'm not quite sure what to report for the C3 group at tomorrow's ELP meeting.  Any ideas?
