Motivating the Elephant

I am blogging for the first time! The Elephant has been motivated. I am enjoying the book and know that as a person not native to technology (yes, I am THAT old) that I have had to take baby steps to make the change successful. Chapter 6 specifically deals with shrinking the change and I know that with the kids we teach, we need to show them the bright spots in order to reinforce the notion that yes, they can learn the material before them. As the authors reiterate on Page 138; if we limit the investment we ask of someone or ourselves we will see those small victories that allow us to put one foot in front of the other and go on. So on a miracle scale of 1-10 I'm giving myself a 7!!

    As a technology native I am glad you are finally on board. Now if we can just get something interesting from Susie. The small victories segment is interesting. That can be used in so many different areas. I talk to our runners about that especially if they are facing a long run or a particularly challenging hill.
