Many times we implement technology for a specific purpose, and then find unintended benefits along the way. Unintended consequences create outcomes that were not planned at the outset of a particular action. We welcome unexpected benefits, and we will demonstrate scenarios where we discovered “hidden treasures” that exceeded our original intent. Technologies to be discussed will include lecture capture software, polling software, cloud storage, etc.

We plan to share some background for why we initially adopted several new technologies, and then discuss the unexpected value of these technologies. We would love to hear from others who have found their own booty and/or fools gold.
