Great to have you here! You seem to be interested in our approach to help teachers to create a learner-centric environment for their students. Or you are looking for a way to keep your team aligned, informed and on the same page at all times.

You know all that, because you have already been amazed by the creativity of your students, when they approach one of your open end questions and you happened to let them go wild ... :)
Professionals
As a knowledge worker you already know your way around and are able to lead and work in teams. You also know that it is sometimes quite challenging to have everybody on the same page in a non-trivial project that calls for cross-functional participation.
Alone keeping information up-to-date and current for every member of the team is not always the easiest thing to achieve even with web-based, specialised tools and shared file services, you will always experience that the latest changes to your presentation didn't make it to everybody in the team, even you just had a presentation and sent the slides to the file-server ...
