Innovative Uses for Educational Technology Funds?

Posted by Cliff on from the spending-someone-else's-money dept.

RumGunner asks: "I work for a university, and we have a special 'technology' fee that is charged to students, intended to be used for focus on new technology of direct benefit to students either in the classroom or related educational/learning activities. Every semester there is a request for proposals on how to spend this money, and for the most part these proposals are fairly lackluster. Since I know there are a lot of .GOV and .EDU readers on Slashdot, I'm curious to see if anyone has any good ideas for large (or small) scale applications of new technology for the benefit of students?"

    Whatever you do, don't use Linux. Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing.

    In my country there is good uses of technology moneys for the schools students. They very much have little money but then they use it very well and the students benefit much. Our system is explained on the web site at here much better than I could talk to explain it on this slashdot.

    Realdolls for all geek freshmen so they don't end up with herpes from the slutty art students on their time. They could even be made into robots and I'm sure in the future they could be used to shoot napalm out of those blowjob lips at anyone who may try to harm the poor geek freshmen.
