    When you get gov't (Dept of Ed) involved in IT for DE it ends up an enormous clusterfest. Takes years to even consider a proposal. Most of the folks making the executive decisions are a few years out from retirement and are hoping they can ride it out until magic 80. Don't have the background or authority to make effective choices only have authority to "consider" which means block.

    An expensive three day F2F conference on videoconferencing. With registration, gas and jet fuel, accommodation and expenses, easily the cost of a classroom video conferencing unit for some remote school. To say nothing of the environmental impact and loss of productivity. Times XXX conference delegates....hmmmm let see. Holy crap you could have set up a couple of schools!

  • Bloggers are not competition to the traditional media -- though they do, hopefully, act as an occasional check on its excesses.  However, even if the Internet were entirely dedicated to the downfall of existing media, it would be only one popgun in a chorus of cannons.  A large part of the traditional media is dedicated to nothing less than making war on the rest.
