We are now half-way through the second round of Project Impact. We would love for you all to get to interact with each other. You aredoing such good work. And right now Steve and I are the ones who get to benefit from hearing about your questions, findings, ah-has, frustrations, celebrations, etc. Hence this blog, we'll post questions, reflections, information that might be helfpul to you but we encourage you to respond and read through comments as you have the opportunity. You are such an exceptional group, impressive individually, but together...I don't know if my imagination is even good enough to envision what you could do! So meet one another...share what you're learning...enjoy!

"It is metaphor which shapes our logic and perspective. Metaphor influences the questions we ask and hence the answers we find. A powerful metaphor becomes deeply rooted in our ways of understanding and is often implicit rather than explicit. In biological terms, a metaphor is the schema by which we make sense of our situation. " (Zimmerman, Lindberg & Plsek 1998)
