1. GENERAL NEEDS/GOALS
1.1. more frequent showcasing of what's being done in schools on tms.org
1.1.1. less emphasis on blog as catch-all
1.1.2. better integration of what's happening on the ground in schools through brief "Resources or Project" content type and links to school sites
1.2. better Social Networking integration
1.2.1. more prominent feeds of tweets and targetted diigo tags (see "tms.org resources" on other side)
1.2.2. share what we're reading, saying, and watching in the MLE community
1.3. use TMS to push out to schools instead of creating content directly on school sites
1.3.1. planning templates
1.3.2. curriculum-building resources
1.3.3. how-to templates
2. foci & pain points
2.1. integration of various feeds from 3rd parties into the main content areas
2.2. styling to make sources of info clear (us or others in the field)
2.3. styling to make clear how to follow us
2.4. ability to merge aggregated content with native stuff
2.5. Pain Points
2.5.1. publishing similar content on others' sites, and not TMS
2.5.2. no time to write narrative about all of the things I'm doing -- want to represent the links in a clean way
2.5.3. "Current Projects" blog is not showing enough about the work on the ground
2.5.4. like the simplicity of managing 2 types of content (blogs/pages), but need more separation of strands for different audiences.
2.5.5. I can't find my own best stuff (b/c it's buried on my site, or someone else's)
2.6. Need Flexibility to embed/incorporate 3rd party content (multimedia)
