This document summarizes lessons learned from implementing a "21 Things" staff development initiative at Portsmouth Public Schools. Some key points: - The "21 Things" program introduced educators to web 2.0 technologies through short, self-paced online activities. - It provided flexible, low-cost, high-quality professional development for teachers and other staff. - Implementing the program required garnering support, generating interest, and providing tiered technical support. - Evaluations found that some technologies like word clouds and animations worked well for lessons, while blogs and podcasts did not. Reflections from participants helped improve the program.
