First meeting DONE


Well we had our first meeting. Its always a surprise to me that no matter how much you plan or try to anticipate what people are going to say/question etc something unexpected comes up. For example people from other organisations wanted to know 'would this cost' them even tho' we had gone over all of that in emails and phone conversations. (Never assume anything).

The meeting went very well - (except for the printed folders that I had made with lots of info inside only printed single sided so we missed half the content).

I kknow we are encouraged to get team members to participate in online events etc BUT.... we will see how many of this team do. Because we havent started the project proper yet many of the members are still quite scared, shakey, sceptical - - THAT WILL CHANGE (I HOPE ) Anyway now its to more planning and organising tralala.
Lets see ...I've got training all this week, next week I'm in Port Pirie training, then training here al week again. I feel a bit like a white rabbit.

So much to do


I just read the learnscope newsletter thatMarlene sends out. Bloody hell: Just when I had started to sleep again - out comes all this OTHER stuff to do. I know its not compuslory but there is just so much stuff out there. Every time I see the words 'free' and 'easy' I want to have a look (I wonder what you think of when you hear the words free and easy)??

First Entry

Well... SO far things have gone exactly as planned (not). Trying to organise everyone has been a hassle. Trying to find good rooms and meeting places a hassle. Trying to find time has been a hassle. But....
All the team in the 'Finding new ways to ShinE project are excited so thats good. Marlene has been helpful and is going to be a guest speaker. Sean has been helpful and is going to be a guest speaker. The Technology School of the Future has been helpful and supportive.
We have our first meeting with the whole team in one place next Monday the 29th May. This means its really kicking off and I am starting to get a bit queasy (read SICK). At least this is just a pre project meeting so I dint have to be tooooo organised.
Here is a copy of our first agenda.
I'll do another post after our meeting with more info including the outline for the next several weeks.
