“ (1) look for solutions that will engage and empower students; • (2) think about how the technology will be implemented and used before you purchase it; • (3) vet purchasing decisions with concerned stakeholders, including community members and parents; and • (4) try to identify unintended consequences--from potential instructional and legal hurdles to security issues, privacy concerns, technical glitches, and financial headaches.” • CoSN profiles 'must-have' technologiesBy Corey Murray, Assistant Editor, eSchool NewsNovember 4, 2004

Old tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. We try other strategies… • 1. Buying a stronger whip.2. Changing riders.3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse"4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment.10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead".11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.15. Do a CA Study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.17. Declare the horse is now "better, faster and cheaper."18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position. • http://www.lotsofjokes.com/cat_269.htm
