What goes better with a glass of milk then some cookies?
The Milk and Cookies Theory of Technology is a framework of starting with a technology tool (SMARTBoard) and then find a web based tool to integrae seemlessly with it into the currculum. Discovery Education Streaming Videos (United Streaming)
is a great Example of this. I recently had a conversation and shared emails with Steve Dembo, from Discovery, who got really excited about this idea of Milk and Cookies. Just giving teachers a SMART Board is great, but combine that with streaming videos and a whole new world of instructional integration opens up. Kind of reminds me of that children's book...If you give a Mouse a Cookie....
More on the Milk and Cookies Theory Framework as it develops.

This is a great idea. The pairing of interactive white boards and streamed content revolutionizes classrooms. I love being able to pause a video, annotate, host discussion, and then continue the video. This brings us to higher order thinking skills. I look forward to watching your theory develop.
