Hacking education with Yahoo! Teachers

Hacking education with Yahoo! Teachers:

According to Bill Scott, Ajax evangelist for Yahoo!, and Karon Weber, principal designer, Yahoo! Teachers started as one of the company’s 24-hour “hack days” that turned into a two-year project. A combination of bookmarklet, archive, and collaboration space for educators, Yahoo Teachers was originally meant to be a research tool for trip planning. The designers soon realized, however, that there was another audience that was hungry for these tools. Their presentation at the recently concluded UX Week on the web application, while still revealing a few rough edges, was an intriguing look at high-tech solutions for the most unglamorous side of teaching: the lesson plan.
