[edit] Develop and Tell Stories About WiscNet Services

Use Lawrence Lessig's "three stories and an argument" approach to mix a few stories regarding WiscNet services. Use these stories in a November/December communications push to both grow and learn smart.

Story: BadgerNet Converged Network vs. Buying Your Own Transport vs. Community Area Network
Argument: This Internet thing is here to stay.

Story: Roll-out of Electricity Network in Late 1800's
Argument: The endgame involves the centralization of the utility.

Story: Build it vs. buy it online learning.
Argument: Get in the game right now both ways.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

[edit] Develop the WiscNet Online Experience

Web 1.0 = Presence (Woo hoo. We have a website.)
Web 1.9 = Presence + Tools (Woo hoo. We have MyWiscNet).
Web 2.0 = Participation (Woo hoo, we have a web platform that allows commenting, audio, video, and simple publishing.)
Web 3.0 = Collaboration (Woo hoo, we are the center of online learning in Wisconsin.)

WiscNet first established presence.
WiscNet scratched the surface on participation, ex. MyWiscNet.
We need to push forward modeling effective us of Web 2.0 technologies and allow people to "participate in WiscNet online". Publishing beyond text: images, audio, video. Tie together web services such as Flickr, uStream, Delicious, etc.
Think ahead for when we cross into Web 3.0 and getting at true collaboration online. This is where DDO accelerates.
