The small size of the class made a huge difference in how much fun we had, and how much time the instructor was able to spend with us. Good point, Queenannlace.

It is totally individualized - the ultimate in differientation. It works when the group is small but harder to carry out if the group is larger unless you have terrific technology support.

Your story helps give me hope that my thoughts aren't just fanciful thinking and that because a self-directed approach starts with where people are rather than where someone else determines they should be, staff won't feel intimidated, overwhelmed or reluctant by grappling with new technologies. Just shows the power of blogging - my ideas have been implemented and participated in successfully by others. I just had to post the ideas and bloggers like yourself, Artichoke and Doug Johnson were willing to share. Thanks a heap, Doug.
