Our Pass the Ball campaign was created to do three things:
1. Give people a place to share their ideas and get others to collaborate with them with the hope some amazing things will happen;
2. Help Teachers Without Borders - a organization built around the notion of sharing ideas - in fact the founder, Fred Melnick, started the whole thing with a wild idea he shared with a friend; and
3. Expose new people to WebEx - a tool we think does a great job of helping people share ideas with others with the end result being a better outcome.
We are just getting started,
but so far so good!
Our thought was, every time someone posts or rates an idea, it would trigger a donation to Teachers Without Borders (affectionately known at TWB around here). We have already logged over 300 ideas with our launch this week and that translates to free training for three teachers in the TWB program.
We have at least triple those numbers in ratings and we can see our visitors are doing their best to share their ideas on Facebook, Twitter and more. We are so glad the notion of Passing the Ball has caught on.
Keep it up!
Go back and visit your idea - there are a lot of comments being posted and someone may have left one for you. And if you haven't done so already, be sure to add a picture or an image. Owning your idea helps bring it to life! And if you have ideas about how to make the web site better, post it here - we want to hear from you!
