I am a Hawaii Public Charter School teacher and just recently (2 weeks ago) started a tech journey of my own (although not quite as ambitious as your's). I love your webpage and am going to spend some time exploring it...

At 7:17am on June 25, 2008, Michael Thelander said…: Hi Margit -- I can say we're doing some research and development now, and that I'm looking for feedback on how students and teachers would use a web-based product that works in many ways like Inspiration does. I expect you'll begin to hear more and more about this initiative from Inspiration as the months go on. But remember the "three T's" of software: Things Take Time.

I need to spend some more time in there. I'll be at the Saywire booth #6029 in the afternoons. If you can stop by. Meanwhile I go back into your site at after the conference to spend some quality time there. Again thanks for reaching out and I hope to meet you in person! June
