I think it is a good idea, but the information needs to be passed on to people in school districts besides the administrators. Some of them do not pass information on to faculty who would like to be current in their knowledge of what is available and what is going on in the area of technology. We have to find out through words dropped by our colleagues and then go looking for information.
