I also like the addition of "appropriate" to the mission statement.
On the one hand, it is redundant: surely if a thing is effective, it is
also appropriate. But on the other hand, explicitly stating "appropriate"
may encourage us to count to 10 before rushing in with any old solution to
educational problems.

I support broadening the understanding of technology to encompass more
than computers.
I'm a little surprised to hear it even being discussed! I joined AECT this
year with the assumption that the Technology part included all tools used
to solve educational problems. I have been disappointed to find that most of
what arrives in my (snail)mailbox from AECT focuses on computers only.

I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the mission statement,
