I can't take credit for this, I learned about it at the Midwest Google Summit 2011, but I will say my staff loves it. Learn on the Loo is the way I take a captive audience and provide them with learning material while they... you get the idea.
My quick snippets of information have lead to scores of emails thanking me for a laugh, relevant information and training sessions so they can learn more. Each week I try to find new ideas or tools I read about on different blogs, feeds or articles I receive. This method of sharing information has provided a unique type of water cooler talk.
To date, i have kept this tech tool talk only for the employees bathroom. I have seen what teenage boys do in public restrooms so I am reluctant to go there. However, given the right setting, this may be the only way to reach some of those students with that bladder problem at the start of each 5th hour.
The next time you need to get an all school email out, realize not everyone will read it. However, if you post it where, well where everyone goes, you are bound to get their attention.
