Dear Mavis,

I think even more importantly is to remember that technology experts
don't necessarily know the curriculum just as teachers/curriculum
experts don't necessarily know the technology.

Important in my mind is finding people who know both and encouraging
them to create! or work on collaborations where each person with the
expertise recognizes the value of the other's.
