Though I need to research this further, presenting with an iPad in the classroom may be a great addition to the Smart Classrooms out there! The goal: Put the ability of an interactive whiteboard (and more) in your hands while you are walking around the classroom.

This posting evolved after having read $500 billion TV market new battlefield for Internet companies (from forbes.com and the Trefis Team therein) as well as the posting at Future TV disruption – Forbes says it’s worth half a trillion dollars for Internet companies (from appmarket.tv).
As the convergence — and the movement of data/apps/content/services towards the cloud — continues, I wanted to jot down some thoughts re: the current field:
Having said this, one can see that it is getting harder to practice the KISS principle in the IT departments out there. But where we can do so, it makes sense to do so — as there is less finger pointing and more accountability. It’s easier to support a fewer amount of tools and, often times, it seems that things simply work better with a reduced amount of vendors/technologies involved.

I post this because I’m glad to see that email is still kicking tail! In 1990, I was hired at Kraft to help rollout email to (then) 66 plants across the country. The project got scrapped, but I kept at it as I believed in the power, efficiency, and productivity of this new tool (that is, email was new to Kraft in the early 90’s).
By the time I left Kraft, email usage had spread throughout the company and applications even resided on top of the email system. The VP of HR could communicate to every employee within seconds — something that was unheard of before email.
