Making ETT more accessible to newbies
First, there was some question about what is our vision, I threw these out, but you may have thoughts (multiple) of your own:
A vision of working collaborativly to discuss technology use in education, with an emphasis on open source, collaboration, and keeping it real
Some agreed actions I heard were:
Improve players (DAVE), do an openhouse show (SHOW HOSTS, we will at It's E!), tree the front page (DAVE), have a matching service for newbies (ME this summer), share this network when we do PD ourselves (ALL OF US)
Any other ideas I missed?









Essential Tools
I like your idea of making a list of essential tools. I would even go as far as proposing in it as a menu itme on the top bar of home page. These resources would be available on-demand as you mentioned. Getting Started is also a good name for these tools.
