 * Individual Prompt -
 * How does your school currently take this on?
 * Do you want to change this? Is the because the grass is greener on the other side?
 * [|Technology Bracketology] – Arranged by Discipline/School Type – We will pitch our technology ideas (read also as hopes) against one another using the rubrics we created on Wednesday and hopefully find a variety of ideas that many of us can take back to our respective schools.
 * Reminder : This is not a single elimination tournament, instead as you decide which tech idea is the best out of competition, it moves forward along with all of those that participated in the competition. Eventually we will have 17 people from the Red group vs. 16 from the Blue vs. 16 from the Green. Then EVERYONE WINS because we get to bring our tech ideas back home with us.


 * Bracektology Results! They were mixed, with few groups finalizing decisions and choosing one winner. Thus, numerous winner. Follow a few important results below, apologies that names are not along with winning ideas, but given more time or an email to me and I'll almost surely be able to direct you to whom to find. **

 * Group wikiSpace Prompts #2 & Storyboard :
 * How have you modified your idea, based on the Technology Bracketology session we just had?
 * After viewing a number of quick pitches today, what percentage of the two minutes should be placed on selling the idea versus explaining the substance? Why?
 * Is your audience a full faculty with hopes of general adoption or a set of experts you hope to train initially? Why?
