Day 3:
This is what was written on the flip charts to guide the groups as they used the tools.

1. "MARKING THE TRAIL":

Organizing tasks and activities ("what do you have to do next?")

• brainstorming
• list tasks and activities ("what do we need to do first, what next?")
• use large Post-It notes and write with marker
• Mark the trail: put the Post-It notes on flip-chart paper and order them

  Output: steps and plans
  Reflection: if you, by yourself, have 2 hours to write a draft plan for technology and healthy communities, would you be able to come up with such a plan?

2. "INDICATORS":

The signs along the trail that tell you that you are headed in the direction of your goal

• brainstorm about indicators of a health community using communication technology
• indicators of:
  • smell
  • hear
  • taste
  • see, touch and count
• fun / health / leadership / relationships / wealth / learnings

  Outputs (by Conference group):

1. smiles, see the smart building, hear the whistle blow (kids playing sports), participation, interest, machinery, keyboard sound, laughter by elders;
2. HEAR: laughing, telephone ringing, less pessimism, native language, childrens' voices, TASTE: healthy food, wild food; SMELL: no outhouses, no pollution; TOUCH: SEE: prosperity (skidoos), people getting along, unspoiled environment, TOUCH: more materialistic items to use for positive growth
3. SEE: community members discussing technology, construction of buildings and roads, more employed people TASTE: food from new restaurant, SMELL: fuel, smoke and sawdust from sawmill HEAR: hum of heavy equipment; computer keys clicking; TOUCH: computer keyboarding; dreams becoming reality; telehealth replaces touch

   Reflection:
   what if someone from Industry Canada came down and gave you indicators, would they be the same?
   You could end up with a menu of indicators that mean something to the people in the community

3. CONFERENCE REFLECTION

• "A menu of tools" (see photograph): looking back at the electronic tools we used and at the planning tools
• Reviewing the EXPECTATION CARD GROUPS: putting small Post-It notes on those expectations that were:
  • themes you want to learn more about: Blue Cards
  • themes you have learned most about in this workshop: Yellow Cards

  
  Reflection:
  Why did we choose the THEMES or GROUPS to put our cards on?
