It is easy for users to get overwhelmed with tools and technical details. Hopefully, all tools adopt the Wordpress, Jing, Twitter model...just make it easy to use...don't make me think!

The point is to focus the strategy on the people. Pick the strategy that works for your people. Sure, not every solution fits every person exactly, but the strategy should fit most people. I think about the technology tools I've used or seen in organizations I've worked in, and by and large they are dropped in and people are told they have to use them. In other words, the tool is forced on the people with no regard for technographic profiles. Those are the tools that often become a burden to use. I've resisted eLearning 2.0 to a certain extent because I'm not sure those tools/solutions will work for the target audience I deal with. I will be trying things out because I think having a mix of options for learning is the right thing to do. Up front analysis is necessary, and POST looks a good method to use. Thanks Mark.

Interest based technographic profiles would be fascinating to look at. Does anyone out there have suggestions for resources or any other thoughts? Excellent points Marcel and thanks for chiming in.

I prefer to look at things like personal interest-based segments rather than traditional age/gender/etc. For instance, it would be interesting to see similar technographics profiles (to the ones above), but for an interest based segment such as "sports enthusiasts" (across all ages, regions, and genders) or "health care professionals", etc. Great post, Marcel Hi Mark,

Mathew, it will be on my calendar. Also, my wife is a (fresh out of school) School Psychologist who is getting ramped up to how technology fits into the "traditional" education system, so I will suggest her to check out as well. “Online conference” of course!

Thank you for checking out the trailer to my session and spreading the word. Just a note that the K12 Online Conference is free and will be online so that everyone is able to "attend" whatever sessions they want at whatever time the want. The 2008 sessions, including mine, will be online in mid October. P.S. I appreciate the reference to Be Kind, Rewind. It wasn't in my head at the time I made the trailer but I can see the influence.
