- identify a champion / White Knight, who can grant permission for process AND champion its results

Present: Joe, Ian, David, Annette, Sue
Educational Research Document >> Choose right methods >> Process feeds into event for teacher
Description: David introduced the Action Cycle Game - a 'social' API for helping people work together (ask David about this). We then played the game... and committed to produce a book by next week. We're each going to write a section, invite others, and have it published on Lulu. We hope this is a seed for a convergent event, with real money!
