Here is a link to a [|blog post] about technology/education "projects" from the point of view of someone who judges them. I know it is not really our situation, but he makes a number of good points. (I have listed a few that I think are most relevant for us.) 1. Don't {just} do what other are doing. 5. Develop the team 6. Collaboration is a requirement 10. Understand what drives usage and engagement 11. Learn from good working examples 12. Solicit feedback. Repeatedly. 13. Have a real point of view. (I, Wendy, particularly like 13. I think it will be key for us.)
