I have serious doubts whether McNealy’s vision will become a reality because teachers have neither the time nor inclination nor expertise to make use of this site. McNealy’s vision assumes that the problem in education is access to the “quantity” of resources out there.

My view is that teachers need help identifying quality. So many resources written by teachers are just plain garbage. Meanwhile, there are many absolutely astounding resources developed by experts, foundations, universities, and myriad other organizations that go unused–because no one can find the darned things. Often the agencies that produce these high quality resources lack the marketing muscle to compete with Pearson and McGraw-Hill.

I wish McNealy would focus his energy on solving the real problems in the market for instructionalm materials. His vision at this poing misses the mark.
