Well, I'm one techie who's walking the walk. I'm building an open source social learning platform based on Drupal and starting a company to provide commercial support and hosting. See more at http://eduglu.com http://eduglu.com But per Jacobolus's comment, I don't really blame other techies for not getting involved. Most of education's problems are structural not technological. My hope is that by providing really good social learning tools -- much better than anything else out there and at a much lower cost -- that by making it much easier to move to better teaching practices, the structural problems will work themselves out easier. But honestly, I don't give myself a huge chance of succeeding. Others far more gifted than I have failed over and over. But I figure you can only be young and idealistic once. Edit: And to clarify what I mean by "succeeding", I mean by that succeeding at "fixing" education. As for succeeding as a company, based on feedback I've gotten so far, I think success is achievable.
