I want us to set the bar really high when it comes to education technology -- both in its development and its implementation. I don't think it's too much to ask.

What would happen if we asked these questions in a broader forum in our communities?

If you have not checked out Scratch, a free programming language from the MIT Media Lab, take the time to listen to this talk by the creator, and then check out the program at the Scratch site, http://scratch.mit.edu/. You may download the program, join an educator's community, check out projects, watch tutorials and much more. One question that is being discussed more and more is if we should teach students programming. We are also told we need to have our students be creators of materials. Scratch may be a program that will help us meet both these goals.
