So I was doing some research this morning on Professor Tom Hatch, who I am looking forward to meeting in a few weeks, and came across the KEEP Toolkit. This toolkit is an outgrowth of the work that Tom and his colleagues have done capturing and archiving the classroom experience for the NCREST and the Quest Project.

Here’s the punchline. In a few months, Yahoo will launch its Yahoo Teachers site w/ the vaunted “Gobbler” feature, which sounds an awful lot like what they have been doing with KEEP Toolkit for some time now.
I am not so sure that gobbling or copying from the Internet is the killer app for teachers, but it is interesting to see the parallels in these two products.
