As educators, we need to stop reacting and start innovating. That may mean holding off on stop-gap technologies until something more effective surfaces (or until we develop our own technologies or lead students to develop those technologies for us). Save your budget dollars for now and investigate some of the great, free software available recently for educational use (Scratch, for instance - http://scratch.mit.edu/ or Edublogs - http://edublogs.org/).
Let's make wise decisions now, and cast the vision for later
