Michael

From Alexandra - Wonderful presentation. I particularly liked how you paced each transition with the narration. Congratulations.

My final presentation

Michael, your presentation has come a long way in a very short time. The final product should be extremely impressive. John R. 2/10/2011. //Michael (from Alexandra)- I enjoyed reviewing your storyboard and slides. Blogging is a great topic. While I haven't heard your narration, I imagine you will include in your discussion not only details about the blogging applications but how it can enhance learning (as you've noted, teachers need to believe and conceptually understand how it can work to underscore learning objectives). 2/10//

I will try to upload a more complete view of my presentation soon- still working on tweaking some effects and video clips. My audience (according to the project requirements) is my board of directors, whom most I have met, and I feel my presentation will appeal to them. Again, a more complete project will be uploaded soon. Thanks for your feedback. 2-6-11 Here is the final slide for my presentation-it will include narration- the final format will be PowerPoint with narration and video

Michael, it will be good to see this all put together. It's difficult for me to assess the strength of your message in bits and pieces. The final slide is a good summary, but I wonder who you audience is and if you've sold your innovation specifically to them. Jodie 2/6/11

Michael, Nice additions to your storyboard. The diffusion graphic was extremely well done. Have you decided on a final format for your project? John R., 1/29/2011.

Michael, I agree with John, but wonder how if an element of centralized diffusion would improve diffusion. Numerous LMS have blogging integrated within them, so if an institution were to adopt an LMS with blogging tools integrated, it would improve the compatibility of the innovation. Jodie 1/30/11

Here is a graphic about the decentralized diffusion process that I will be using in my presentation. Hi there, Michael Kirsch finally figuring out the whole wiki thing. I will be linking my storyboards and updates throughout the course of today. I have uploaded files with my story board updates if you look in the files portion of the wiki- I will try to link them to my page for comments and suggestions. //Jodie- I want to focus specifically on blogging in education and more specifically adult education since this is my current field//- Thanks Michael, great storyboard! Your topic brings up a question that occurred to me today. Are we looking at our particular innovation and diffusion within our own organization or within a broader context? I see that you note that blogging has been adopted in the S-Curve, yet comment that it hasn't been widely adopted by educators. So should your presentation focus on diffusion of blogging in education or blogging in general? Any ideas? - Jodie 1/23/11 Here is the slide for my s-curve- I am still figuring out how to put slides into my video presentation. It is still in process and I know it is very "s" like yet. I will be making major updates and modifications over the next few days

Michael, you can create this same image in your powerpoint, though I recommend that you use the curvy line to make an actual S. What year did blogging take-off? - Jodie 1/23/11 //Jodie- That graphic was kind of a trial and I will make my "s" curve more "s" like//. //Blogging really took off in about 2003 when google bought Blogger and MySpace Launches//-thank you for the feedback The following is another slide for my presentation regarding earl;y adopters and laggards

Michael, welcome to our wiki! Please make sure that you let Dr. Moller know that you've joined our wiki. Feedback on your innovators and early adopters - Jodie 1/23/11 //Jodie thank you for your feedback I plan on focusing more on this storyboard this week-1-24-11//
 * add imagery
 * change background, it's distracting and difficult to read
 * watch typos
 * expand on characteristics of early adopters and laggards
 * why do you think educators have been lagging? My experience is multiple points of contact. As a student, I wish that our wiki was integrated in our classroom, or at least our portal, so didn't have to keep track of multiple logins.

Michael, very happy to see you join the wiki. I have reviewed your entries and theu look as though they are fairly complete. In addition to jodie's comments, you may want to tweak your "S" curve diagram so that it truly represents an "S"curve. The information should need no change, as it appears in a timelione format. Welcome aboard. John R. 1/26/2011
