Chocolate

On Monday we implemented an idea I had at the beginning of the year. On the Citrix Reminder window, that everyone clicks every morning, we added the text: "Win Chocolate: Be the first person from your building to email something related to chocolate to helpdesk@stvrain.k12.co.us and WIN chocolate."

The purposes of this chocolate event were many. As a number of people guessed we wanted to see if the “Little Grey” Citrix Reminder window was being noticed. We also wanted to advertise the existence of the help desk email account as a way to contact DTS. We wanted to have a little fun at the end of the year. This was also a test to see what the response would be like. So far we have been blown away by the response and creativity.

I posted the winning email on an intranet blog: http://blogs.stvrain.k12.co.us/chocolate/ and we sent every winner a candy bar. (Purchased with personal funds.)

Hopefully in the fall we can have another contest. I am picturing possible a scavenger hunt through the technology resources the district provides.
