Time, the Final Front Frontier...

So many tools, so little time.   

I posted a quick pole on my blog asking about the use of blogs.  I know we have only three in our group with one being an actual teacher however, nobody is using a blog in their educational setting.  In my high school we have a new principal that touts his expertise and  use of technology in education.  Since he started six months ago, he has posted three times on his blog!  That, in my estimation is dismal.  If a self-proclaimed technologist is barely using a tool he believes in, how do we motivate teachers and students to use them?  After reading the first eight chapters of Richardson’s book on Web 2.0 tools, which tools should teachers focus on and how many hours per week do you think teachers will spend keeping up their entries?  What will be the priorities of teachers if we mandate these tools and what will suffer due to time to properly keep the new tools updated?

I seem to be working backwards.  I posted a comment first, now it's time to spell out the post.  The initial set up of this blog on Blogger was relatively easy.  What issues have some of you had?  I have been suggesting Blogger to some of my teachers and none, to date, have come to me for any help.
