HOW TO GET IT GOING AND TO GET BUY IN???• Provide Examples of what can be done
• Provide a platform in which to create and post things
• Provide the time for departments to coordinate efforts and tasks
• Be diligent about how the time is used and where the accountability can be (must be visible and on the site)
• Continue to find ways to provide time and support (hardware if needed), bring in experts
THE GOAL• Site is self perpetuating and visited
• School provided time is no longer needed (teachers are creating on their own).
