1. I think Aardvark could be used as a way for students to gather research about a topic of their choice. For example, what if they are researching authentic Italian cuisine. They could pose a question about what makes Italian cuisine authentic or where can you buy the most authentic spices.
As an administrator, I could pose a question on a large scale and then present that information to my teachers. For example, "What are some great fundraisers for a Student Council?
2. A road block for teachers might be that you can't always predict what answers you are going to get. So, if having students use Aardvark to do research, the teacher might have to help the students with the wording or grammar of their question.
3. I would give the teachers an advance warning about how they might have to be careful with how questions are worded. They might have to have the students write down the questions first with predicted answers. This way, the teacher can be more sure of exactly what the student is looking for.
4. I need to create my own account and practice with it first before I introduce it to others.
