Jim Langcuster explains the challenges facing cooperative extension in the new knowledge landscape and offers a way forward.

Why Twitter should be part of your online learning network.

The word 'network' is key here - because I believe one of the fundamental changes that journalists have to adapt to in the 21st century is the move to networked modes of working.

Wondering if producers are using new technologies? Here's a small, but extremely informative sampling.

Great post about collaborative learning in k-12 classroom. If every kid was educated this way, what would happen when they came to college or wanted to learn something from cooperative extension. Would we even know how to teach them?
