I wrote earlier in the week about a wiki project I am embarking on with a couple of our science teachers.  This afternoon over lunch, one of our outstanding English faculty who heard about what we were working on approached me and asked about the limits and possibilities of using Google Notebook as a research tool for our IB students who are working on their extended essays. 

It appears that without really intending to, I have started my own little viral marketing campaign for some of these Web 2.0 tools and have sparked interest in some of our more inquisitive faculty members.  She arranged for me to come in and speak to her students to get them up and running on Google Notebook in a couple of weeks so I plan to put together something of a tutorial starting with some of the information that Wes Fryer has so generously shared with the community.

My short-term goal is to hook enough teachers into these simple but powerful technologies that they end up becoming the critical mass in our building who will pull others along.

Engaged Teacher Count: 4 as of lunch today
