I was asked by the Texas Computer Education Association, Strategic Open Source, Special Interest Group (TCEA SOS SIG) to discover (and report) on what products and services teachers would deem valuable and beneficial enough that they would rush to join our group.

The cost of membership is:

TCEA Membership: $30.00 SOS SIG Membership: $20.00
------------------------------
Total Cost to Join: $50.00

It is important that we learn exactly what teachers would spend this much of their own money to get. So, please define what it would take before you really would spend this much.

I have set up a PMwiki to collect comments on a free hosting site...

http://www.open-source-resource.com/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Survey#1

I am also surveying to find out what should be available on the SOS SIG site that will serve teachers enough that they would keep coming back to the site.

I developed a prototype. The prototype is at:

http://www.open-source-resource.com/sos

Comments and suggestions about this prototype are being collected at:

Let our group know your ideas and opinions. Your comments will steer our organization toward the highest teacher priorities and needs. Our organization will develop the support packages that teachers tell us are really needed.

Thanks in advance for your help.
