The crazy-making fun begins. Two eBN charter members start to move the thing along.
Will Richardson posts on eBN: "I'm thinking that I never use the chat feature from my site, but since I'm on my site so much, I'm wondering if I can link the diamond to k12bW chat and if I do I'm wondering if the diamond will turn green when people are in there so I can join in...Maybe we should all be doing that somehow...Is that a possibility?"
And Pam Pritchard notes:
I'm an Official Member of eBn.  "... its deeply rooted understanding that classroom practioners are the heart of education." Imagine....classroom practioners as the heart...God, I love the sound of this! Such a refreshing rarity. ...the issue of hosting which obviously should command our beginning energies I think. ... We need to start doing some serious thinking along this vein. If we want fundraising help from outside sources or Universities or whatever...then let's get something together to show our intents, purposes, directions, visions etc. in a formalized plan.
More of my blog-brainstorm contributions:
- The online training has a start. Let's build on it. I have to tell you...I would have appreciated a clear, step by step tutorial both online and in book form in the beginning. I had to hunt and hunt and then piece parts together to even begin to compile the whole. There needs to be a help that's slanted as simplistic, direct and user-friendly, easy to follow as possible (elementary teachers know the importance of simple and direct). ...
- If we ever decide to go book form (okay, it's not illegal to dream, is it?), my oldest brother, Jon, is also an editor of several books and Associate Publisher of New Mexico Magazine...maybe I can pull some baby-only-sister favor voodoo on him. ...
- What about an online help desk that all of us grass rooters (or anyone else new who wanted to) man? We could offer an email address help service that we collaboratively work. A help source that responds in a reasonably quick answer time (we could decide what that is) to blog writing problems.
