It has been quite interesting to watch the teams ideas and views of technology change since we started this project.
At the beginning of the project there were some comments along the lines of 'This isn't really going to be useful but we are willing to try something new'. Then 'Well actually yes I have some ideas of how i can use technology in earthworks'. Now once we have all had a go at Photo Story 3 and have seen how easy it is to use there is serious discussion and decisions being made about using this software to create learning resources for students.
These resources will lessen the amount of time that the teacher has to spend with new students catching them up on work the other students have already completed, but still giving the new student all the important information needed to complete pre-start checks of the machinery they are going to operate.
Oh and the other important thing is that we all are having a good time learning how to use different sorts of technology :-)

Do you think some of this has to do with the teams past notions of what e-learning and even technology were? Once people realise that taking photos or using a mobile phone can be a valid e-learning strategy they suddenly realise that they are part of it - that it is relevant
