I'm just trying to stand on the shoulders of giants! ;-) Hey, I saw your post about mobile webcasting-- good luck with your experiments! It's bleeding edge at this point for sure, but the capabilities should just get better! Conn:

Lately I've been using the phrase "Teacher Return on Investment" to reflect the time and effort it takes for a teacher to figure out a new technology and implement it in a way that improves their teaching or student learning. Too many technologies require too much teacher investment before they see a result, and they get tired or discouraged. "Quick Victories" is a much more poetic take on it! Great term, Wesley.

Noob teachers to ed tech need emotionally and intellectually frictionless tools and project ideas that make them feel professional and empowered. One up for Mathew.

Most teachers in my district have one computer in their classroom and they're lucky if it works. Thanks for focusing on tools teachers easily have at their disposal and can implement tomorrow.
