Steve Wheeler's blog. He gives a list of ideas for effective Twitter use in the classroom. 

From Steve Wheeler: Ever since I first began to use Twitter I have been thinking about how to harness the potential of microblogging for the benefits of my own students, and have tried out several ideas to exploit it already. Below are my 10 top uses of Twitter for education

Steve Jobs likes stories with villains and heroes--and demos. Things to think about when preparing a lecture for people with short attention spans. That is, everybody

An article by Steve Crowther

Steve Wheeler of the University of Plymouth explores the concept of new learning forms that don't simply place old forms on new digital platforms, but reconsider those forms.

Considers how quality writing/thinking in the digital age could be threatened by "feedback loops" that don't allow for "slower thoughts."  Related to Steve Johnson's work (Emergence) and the democratization of information/ideas. 

"How do you tell a story that opens the door to rethinking what people have believed for decades?" Thoughtful piece on changing our paradigm.

by Stevina Evuleocha, Steve Ugbah California State University Abstract The quest for an ideal medium to deliver business content to Gen Y learners has led instructors to consider the Internet, since digital content that exists in databases can be manipulated by a range of programming services (Shim et al., 2006). Shim et al., have also asserted that web development has been hampered by bandwidth and difficulties of "back end integration," consequently, impacting the presentational aspects of data and user interfaces (Yang & Tang, 2005). Innovations in computer and software technologies appear to have ameliorated the technical difficulties, resulting in the emergence of new media such as podcasting, webcasting, videostreaming, blogging, and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) technologies (Shim, 2002). These new media streams can be integrated into traditional lectures, thus enhancing the educational environment (McLaughlin, 2006), particularly for Gen Y learners. This paper discusses the efficacy of podcasting in business education, reviews the characteristics of Generation Y (Gen Y) learners, discusses learning styles and theories that support mobile learning, reviews learning styles of Gen Y learners, and discusses whether adaptations are necessary to address the updated needs of this new generation of learners in the business communication context.
