How will I get my points?
When the submission is received, your points will be automatically assigned. If there are questions or concerns after being reviewed by a learning community lead, you will be contacted, and your points will potentially be adjusted.
What happens if I miss the submission deadlines?
These deadlines are REQUIRED for each submission period. If you have missed the submission deadline, please contact your learning community leads for additional information. Aside from prolonged absences due to medical leave, late submissions will most likely not be accepted.

Can you get school teachers to adopt an innovation?
Try strategies, and see what happens. How many adopters can you get?
Play the Diffusion Simulation Game as many times as you like, and learn what it takes! You need to think strategically and pay attention to what happens after each move. The first time you play could take an hour or more. Subsequent games take less time. Experienced players often take 30 minutes to complete a game.
