=Taking the Journey Online: Creating e-Portfolios for the Odyssey Freshman Academy at New Hanover High School=


 * Description of project:**

Technology change: Enhance student learning in the Odyssey Freshman Academy by adopting a technology tool that enables students to create multimedia products, electronically communicate with their mentors, teachers and community professionals, and work collaboratively with their core teachers and peers while simultaneously creating a detailed record of their high school careers online.

Work with your project team to identify a change model that best fit the organization that you have selected to implement a technology change. The change model that you select should be **appropriate for the social and behavioral characteristics of the organization**. In addition, the change model should **allow** the change management team to **successfully** **implement the proposed technology change**. Review the following models and others that you find and then select a model. __You do not need to submit your team's response to the activity. Once you made your decision as a team post your decision and your model in your Team's Discussion Area.__
 * Activity 3:**
 * Identify a Change Model**
 * **Unfreeze / Refreeze Model**
 * An Improvisational Model for Managing Change (Also check this article)
 * **Kurt Lewin Change Theory**
 * **Models of Behaviour Change**
 * **Satir Change Model**
 * ** Scientific Laws as Change Management **

__****improvisational**__ model: 2 assumptions: changes assoc. w tech constitute ongoing process rather than an event w/ endpoint various tech/ org changes that are made cannot be anticipated ahead of time.

Based on that 3 types:Change is... 1. anticipated 2. emergent--spontaneously 3. opportunity based--in response to an unexpected opportunity or event This new Freshman Odyssey gives us an opportunity to introduce change. Changes made during the process cannot be anticipated

1. precontemplation- no intention of change 2. contemplation-people are aware taht a problem exists seriously considering taking some action 3. preparation-involves intention to change and some behavior (minor) with limited success 4. action-modify behavior, experience or environment in order to meet goals 5. maintenance-people work to prevent relapse
 * stage theory** of behavior change(kind of like a freshman entering H.S.)


 * Unfreeze/Change/Refreeze:**
 * un-**get the org. receptive to change (feedback survey, etc. LISTEN&INCLUDE)
 * change**- propose the solution, get people to do it, learn new skills,
 * re-** make this a permanent part of the org. [THIS WILL NEVER WORK IN A H.**S.]**

Status Quo-Paper low tech. Foreign Element- Principal says, save paper Chaos- Everyone creates their own plan Transforming Idea- ePortfolios for Freshmen create a four-year plan Practice & Integration- AFTER the proposal New Status Quo- by 2016 entire school is paperless
 * Satir Change Model**
