" disrupt yourself...before your competitor does". Why not either a) Have a half day or session with your team to create your competitor's business. How would you start a new business which would knock your socks off....then use the ideas for your own! OR b) If you can afford it why not put a team of people onto creating a fabulous competitor. Give them a separate unit to run and let them give you a run for your money. You could also challenge the local college or University students to do it as part of their development."

"When we're working with our K-8 students it is always a concern that students privacy and anonymity be maintained. Most sites require users to register so they can sign in to use the resource. Many educators will create an account and log students in to use a web 2.0 resource in the library, lab or classroom as a variety of sites provide for education accounts. The extra steps necessary to set up such accounts might take time that any librarian or teacher finds hard to locate in their busy day. Surely too a majority of us are quite tired of remembering every username and password we create for ourselves let alone keeping track of those of our students. We also wonder how many footprints we are leaving on the web. Below are some sites that can be used without creating an identifying username, email or password. All sites were tested, Some have examples on the example pages."
