I'd add this slight modification to your one step at a time approach. My reality seems to be more, one step forward, 1/2 step backward... repeat. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to fill in some holes in our IM prevention wall. Why? Because some teachers are still standing in front of the room and lecturing at kids with Internet connected laptops. Of course the kids go on IM if they can. It seems good new tools only very slowly change bad old practices. Looking forward to following your posts! Fred Bill,
