I like reading marketing blogs because they focus on communicating and building support for new ideas--sounds a lot like technology integration and education in general. Consider this revised quote from the bookmarked blog post: "The reason social media doesn't matter is because, upon further review, it doesn't exist beyond a label. While all the categorizing, classifying and departmentalizing was going on, that which was called social media simply settled into the center of [learning] and [instructional] strategy and behavior. Everything that we called social media is irrelevant and mislabed - there's a new way of doing [teaching] and [learning] for sure, but it's a behavior and focus on [student] involvement that's become a new norm - and that's all there is to it. We don't need social media tools, social media plans, social media agencies, or social media departments, we need [instructional] strategies and [practices] that are informed by a terribly heightened [learner] expectation."

lots of tools and an interview about how to use Diigo. lots of interesting ideas about incorporating tech into the church as well as school.

Anne Collier's blog post about the Online Safety & Technology Working Group report that calls for, among other things, increased education in media literacy--seeing students as both consumers and producers--and inclusion of more social media in the schools.
