			Flatclassroom is an example of a project that would submit information to an ideal network. I see no indications that is a storehouse for more than one approach to education, even if there have been multiple examples of their recipe applied many times.

			Edutopia is a traditional publishing system for collecting and disseminating information about 'what works' in education. Their site isn't substantially different than that of a print magazine. The only element that they make use of in the online space is that of transmission. Consensus generation, authorship, research, data analysis and even choice of author happen backstage and we consumers only view the final product of this work.

			==== Question of geographic scope ====
			Another manner in which an ideal network would differ is in scope of the project. While this project makes appeals to groups outside of PA (by allowing members from all US states), there are more affordances for PA projects than outside. If non PA projects do participate, they enter into the system on unfair footing.

			==== [[Incentive_structure \|Incentives]] ====
			The stated appeal of the SV site is viability for submitters/participants. This incentive is desirable to some, but there are missed opportunities for other incentives to participate.

			Other incentives could include:
			;[[site rewards]]
			:Reward users with progress bars and successive site kudos when they accomplish certain goals in documenting their activities.
			;[[social esteem]] among peers
			:Allow for positive commenting and discussion around good activities, or 'like' buttons that allow peers to express positive esteem for projects without criticism. 'Liked' projects could rise to extra visibility.

	This		This is insufficient for focused analysis of the resulting data. Compare two similar cases; (A) had 27 students, and (B) 47 students. (A) was successful but (B) was not. This data entered into the School Victories system, the difference in group size would not be present in the data as both would choose '26-50'.
