"The first is social media is much more than a fad (which you have probably read about, as well.) It's not just that Twitter has been at the heart of the Arab Spring and other social and political developments of recent years. Nor that Facebook has acquired so many millions of users all over the world. It's the fact that people use these new media in such a variety of ways it becomes impossible to distinguish business from pleasure. Wikipedia, for instance, has shown that people not only long to discover, they want to share. The psychological effect on business and public life has been immense; in fact I would say that there is a new business climate of openness"

"Mobile connectivity provides an opportunity to offer new ways of teaching and learning that ultimately will improve performance and results whilst at the same time open up new markets formobile operators across the world. Mobile will increase access to up-to-date materials, will enable collaboration and strengthen learner engagement. In response to this opportunity, the GSMA's Mobile Education initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of Mobile Education solutions; in particular, the use of mobile-enabled portable devices ,such as e-Readers and tablets in mainstream education settings.This global initiative seeks to understand and address the landscape, barriers and opportunities in this emerging market. The GSMA has recently published its first Mobile Education Landscape Report describing the emerging global Mobile Education and related eTextbook Publishing markets. While education systems are country or even local authority specific, we believe that globally coordinated activity drawing on common experience sharing and best practices will be vital to understand and act upon the Mobile Education opportunity. To help Mobile Operators become familiar with this new space we have produced aseries of Mobile Education reports which we hope you will find useful. To get involved, whichever part of the ecosystem you belong to, please contact mobileeducation@gsm.org to learn how."

"Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, spoke about "As learning goes mobile" at the Educause 2011 annual conference. He described the Project's latest findings about how people (especially young adults) use mobile devices, including smartphones and tablet computers. He discussed how the mobile revolution has combined with the social networking revolution to produce new kinds of learning and knowledge-sharing environments and described the challenges and opportunities this presents to colleges and teachers. Technology has enabled students to become different kinds of learners and Lee will explore what that means. "

Posted by Michael Krantz, Google Blog Team Q: What do zippers, baby oil, brassieres and trampolines have in common? A: No, the answer isn't that they're all part of the setup for a highly inappropriate joke. In fact, the above list (along with thermos, cellophane, escalator, elevator, dry ice and many more) are all words that fell victim to those products' very success and, as they became more and more popular, slipped from trademarked status into common usage. Will "Google" manage to avoid this fate? This year has brought a spate of news stories about the word's addition to the Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English dictionaries, an honor that's simultaneously highly flattering and faintly unsettling. Consider, for example, this passage from a New York Times story published last May: "Jim sent a message introducing himself and asking, 'Do you want to make a movie?'" Mr. Fry recalled in a telephone interview from his home in Buda, Tex. 'So we Googled him, he passed the test, and T called him. That was in March 1996; we spent the summer coming up with the story, and we pitched it that fall.'" Now, since Larry and Sergey didn't actually launch Google until 1998, Mr. Fry's usage of 'Google' is as distressing to our trademark lawyers as it is thrilling to our marketing folks. So, lest our name go the way of the elevators and escalators of yesteryear, we thought it was time we offered this quick semantic primer. A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device that identifies a particular company's products or services. Google is a trademark identifying Google Inc. and our search technology and services. While we're pleased that so many people think of us when they think of searching the web, let's face it, we do have a brand to protect, so we'd like to make clear that you should please only use "Google" when you're actually referring to Google Inc. and our services. Here are some hopefully helpful examples. Usage: 'Google' as noun referring to, well, us.

My students enjoyed interacting with Alan Levine's storybox today. What a fascinating tool and great way for kids to share in the classroom without having to be on the "net." It was a blast.

"The three considerations that most impact value are location, location, and location." In the world of social media, they are purpose, purpose, and purpose." This Harvard Business review article is very much on the money. Who are you and why are you sharing. What is your purpose. If you don't know you'll send mixed signals. IF you do, you and the people who follow you will be more content with the experience.
