I hope you don’t forget MY favorite quote about change:

Change is good. You go first.

I think this was written by the same person that writes all the other bumper stickers and t-shirt slogans.

Enjoying the change.

I was leading a group of people experimenting with a moodle deployment at my school (I am not an admin. yet...). We installed moodle, tested it and shared it at an admin. meeting. The very word Moodle scared them, especially when we began by telling them that it was a course management tool that would allow online learning. I envy those schools who have the support for a research and development team. Administrators should lead by allowing for experimentation by trusting those who do the experimenting. And the only way to develop that trust is to keep in contact with the researchers. Hi Scott,
