__Introduction__
School District 685 is comprised of a total of seven schools: one high school, two middle schools, and 4 elementary schools. The schools have different environments and different feels to them due to the various values and attitudes the teachers and students have. The charts below list the characteristics of the schools' staff, which play a role in how people build relationships and influence each other. In order to bring the podcasting project to fruition, the project coordinators will have to investigate the teachers' skills, attitudes, motivations, relations to one another, and their placement in the schools' hierarchy.

The success of diffusion and project implementation is is not, however, exclusively dependent on staff characteristics and school factors. The interaction of the project coordinators with the staff also impacts project outcome. The coordinators will be responsible for informing our staff about the project, developing training resources, conducting training workshops, and getting in-house staff members to take on leadership roles in various activities. Meet our project coordinators:

The Franklin Tech Info file, below, gives a complete view of the technology available at the school regardless of pertinence to podcasting. It also includes technology use restrictions. This is important information because the high school teachers feel that there is a shortage of resources. In part, this is due to how the resources are allocated. Podcasting and the use of cameras will ease the feeling of restriction. However, this school might benefit from reallocating resources or by purchasing more equipment.
