It's hard to pinpoint a few priorities as an educator, because there are endless goals every teacher has for every class and even every student. If I had to name a few main priorities I have, I would say: inspiring a strong work ethic and independence in students; ensuring that students master essential skills and become very knowledgeable about the content of study; helping students to recognize their talents and power to make positive change; and encouraging a passion for learning and social justice.

A student can take their own notes, access other people's notes on the same subject and network with study buddies...has some Facebook like features. Wonderful for folks who would like to study and note take digitally!
