Making progress slowly

I am still plugging away. I loaded my video to You tube, Teacher tube and to my blog. I have enjoyed viewing other people's videos and am always impressed with your creativity and instant application to something meaningful. I need more time to process and think things through. I have posted a very simple wiki and invited you all to join. I do plan on using the wiki next year with my student services team. I will use it to post and link members to forms or web pages they need regular access to. I have progressed over the past 3 years from giving them all a memory stick with these documents and links to asking our web administrator create a folder and post to our MVSD website(for staff use only). If I am implementing this application properly I can create a wiki for the team, create pages for the different departments and load specific information for the (files, links, etc). The pros and cons, I can now do this myself, anytime without having to rely on someone else (+) but I have now added another task to my plate (my secretary use to do lots of this for me, I just had to ensure she had the most recent documents. But I do believe I can invite her as a member and we can collaborate! Making it a win win.
My next challenge will get my team to use it. But if I can do it so can they. This course has taught me, anyone can do it, we are here to help each other, and we have to be willing to put in the time and "poke around" as Glen would put it. It might not look too pretty the first time but we can usually go back and fix it up.
I will be spending some valuable time with the Zortero tutorials and must get started on my paper.
