bullet "What an awesome component to the ... 2Learn website! Everything from worksheet, rubric, concept mapping, grid paper, web page, and Venn diagram builders (and more) to sites and tools to help with word processing, database, spreadsheets, and multimedia presentations, to the latest educational articles on technology use in schools!" (Our Lady of Victories School, Edmonton, Canada)
bullet "A great site for the busy ICT teacher" (Infolink, Cape Town, South Africa)
bullet “What makes the Teacher Tools website so attractive is that it takes the ICT teacher's tools, such as word processor, presentation program and so on, and gives you advice on how best to use them to enhance your educational goals for the pupils, as well as technical instruction.  This site shouldbe made compulsory for all those teachers who still believe that an adequate scheme of work for school pupils is something like:  Term 1, word processing, Term 2, spreadsheets and so on.” Computers in Classrooms, U.K. technology newsletter.

Let's do smart things with stupid technology today, rather than wait and do stupid things with smart technology tomorrow.
