This document summarizes the implementation of Web 2.0 technologies at Hawkesdale P12 College by teachers Anne Mirtschin and Jess McCulloch. They began by setting up individual blogs and wikispaces to lay the groundwork for a virtual school. Over six months, 70% of teaching staff began blogging and some ancillary staff as well. Wikis were set up in the math and science faculties. Staff training involved introducing tools for personal use to encourage adoption. By 2008, 10 minute tech sessions at staff meetings and informal lunch discussions helped drive continued exchange of ideas. Students took ownership of many blogs. The school is now enrolling in global projects and establishing networks to expand use of mobile technologies and video
