Hi Paul, When the 'late majority' (Geoffrey Moore's Crossing the Chasm model, - which Wayne isn't too crazy about! <smile>) come to the party (via Rich Text Editing), they will join the Innovators and Early Adopters (who know wiki syntax), and will find a thriving community of peers. I think this is critically important for folks who are technically savvy, and those who are not.....that they are joining and participating with a group of folks who have 'experienced a different experience', and are ready to share and learn from, and with each other.
It will be most interesting to see how things evolve in the not too distant future! <smile> - Randy On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 1:18 PM, Paul Seiler <paul.sei...@minedu.govt.nz>wrote: > > Randy, I have found your views to be true and I ask NZ teachers about > WE, both those involved in L4C29 and those not yet trained.
