Comments on: What is our BHAG? http://vision.edublogs.org/2007/01/25/what-is-our-bhag/ Another excellent Edublogs.org blog Wed, 28 Mar 2007 03:59:41 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Christina Chang http://vision.edublogs.org/2007/01/25/what-is-our-bhag/comment-page-1/#comment-42 Christina Chang Mon, 12 Feb 2007 03:39:55 +0000 http://vision.edublogs.org/2007/01/25/what-is-our-bhag/#comment-42 I like the idea that our mission statement should stimulate progress - it should be something that clearly states where we hope the Technology Initiative is going. Of course, we've included "progressive thinking" in our goals, because it's impossible to say exactly what we're going to do - rather, we're talking about continuing innovation. At our last meeting, I believe we discussed the Technology Initiative to be presented to the Campus Leadership Team this Thursday. Our current working "mission statement" is "Connect, Collaborate, Create." It is modeled after the three R's, "Rigor, Relevance, Relationships." However, it's not quite so catchy, I think, as it could be. I like how we've named our initiative "WHS 2.1" - it's a hip name, because it plays off a current phenomenon that has everyone talking. I hope our slogan can be like that - memorable!

However, it’s not quite so catchy, I think, as it could be. I like how we’ve named our initiative “WHS 2.1″ – it’s a hip name, because it plays off a current phenomenon that has everyone talking. I hope our slogan can be like that – memorable!
