Cool! Of course, amny (most?) K-5 students don’t have cellphones (my wife is thinking my son will need one when he gets to middle school next year). (And Jim had been trained to set up the ARS, it worked in this room the night before and afterward?!?)

Have you heard of Poll Everywhere? It’s a new all-software Classroom Response System that is 1% of the price of hardware-based ARS (and free for K-12 use). Students vote using text messages on their mobile phones, and results are displayed in PowerPoint or the web with no additional software to install on the presenting laptop.

It’s just that in this case, a discussion list or individual blogs seem like more direct ways for individuals to post stories.

And thanks for the link, looks like a great resource on Web 2.0 and organizational effectiveness.

They are not just for publishing stories. You can post important information in a line or two. By the way, here’s an interesting blog on Enterprise 2.0 and its use for project management http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement.htm . You might be interested to have a look.
