Re: Some more thoughts on C3

Thanks, Mark.  The blog-googledoc link is a great suggestion for managing the tips.  Hope you had a good dinner.  Watch out for bears, though!

I think all of those sound very good, Bill. The informal drip, drip, drip can be very powerful and is very important to remember among ourselves.

I hope we can divide up the small groups as soon as possible and contact our mentees to ask them what they want help with.

I think any group sessions we do ought to tend to be voluntary, have a self-access component for those who cannot make it,and ought to have quite specific themes such as "Overcoming GoogleDoc Phobia with 7 Useful Tips"

I'd be happy to contribute to the weekly tips too. If we make a C3 tips blog and make the ICU ELP group take an RSS email from all new posts, then we'd be making a C3 help resource site and doing a newletter at the same time. I think it will be very helpful!

Hi,

In talking to Ged this morning I was reminded that we should probably create a number of approaches to moving our plan forward.  Here is a list of some things that we could do:

1.Small group mentoring (as we discussed in the meeting Tuesday).
2.Drip, drip, drip (= on-going reminders from all of us as we participate in various other committees, teaching groups, etc.)
3.Find or make some opportunities to discuss basic issues (e.g. why should we share our materials?) rather than just focusing on tools and techniques.
4.Start a "C3 tip of the week" email posting (also tagged of course).  I would be happy to do this, but would appreciate suggestions for tips from all of you.

How does this sound to the rest of you?
