There are education technology people here and there who go beyond the minimum and use technology by choice, but I haven't met anyone yet who showed any contemplation for the usability of the tools they provide to teachers. Of course, that continues at higher levels - principals, superintendents, etc. The education technology world is full of products so usability-poor as to be almost fraudulent because the educators don't know technology well enough to create demand for high-quality products.
