I'm taking it all into consideration. So far, I think I'll stick to a simpler blog interface and I'll see if I can find a more appropriate video. Michele's paper exercise seems perfect, but time may be a limitation. Anyway, I don't have a confirmed date yet, so there's still time for more research and some experimentation.

One of the resources I used was <a href="http://www.teachinghacks.com/" rel="nofollow">Quentin D'Souza's</a> Teaching Hack's <a href="http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page" rel="nofollow">wiki page</a> for its resources. As for their setup, <a href="http://www.21classes.com/" rel="nofollow">21Classes</a> worked well for me, and it's fairly easy to set up and go. My staff understood it quickly enough. Also, I have found that "The Machine is Us/ing Us" video goes over the heads of people who are not familiar with technical language. Just a thought. Harold,

With everything else to do when moving into something new it's less intimidating if the technology is as easy as possible. They (we) can always move to a better product when we discover the limitations of the easier one. I'd also be interested in hearing how to motivate the students to use them - I assumed that since the net was their gathering they'd be happy to use it, but I got complaints about having to respond to others commments, etc. I started using it as a place to discuss novel questions, hoping that they might find it better than paper and pen - for some it was, others - I'm not so sure. I'll definitely give it another go next and year. Due to upgrading and moving rooms around, computers were at a premium this term.
