Sir Ken chats about education in terms of nurturing learning environments

A bit of a departure from education per se, but an interesting look at tweeting and where it may be evolving. And if Facebook is now 'old' how soon will it take for Twitter to be old...?

Dissonance between top down and bottom up adoption can be challenging.... What do administrators where you are think....?

Another part of the equation --retention! Some interesting comments,too,about requisite skills

Not just for higher education (though these aren't the first k-12 MOOCS and the professional development aspect could have some interesting outcomes....

(The easiest, most sophisticated tool for showing the best of you online, all in one place. Connect your social media content and make a great impression now.) Their words, not mine! Anyway, out of curiosity followed up on an article author and clicked on his vizify page.... Wow--so 'sexy' and slick (or so it appears). Looks like a terrific alternate to a paper resume (and Facebook profile). I'll be checking it out more in detail--it may also be useful as a non-LMS. Cheers! :)

Okay--it would be a lot of fun to do a character analysis using this.....

What is interesting is the collateral damage of those seated nearby being diverted by activity happening on someone else's screen. Wonder if that works the other way--in that if there is a strong focus on the lecture/class with well-organized notes being taken, does that behaviour/visual reinforce the behaviour of those sitting nearby....

Something that needs close attention. If one is to be successful with online communication and information access (consider filling out an application form [more and more online only] or a tax form) literacy is imperative. Adult Basic Education seems to be first in line to be cut, which has some pretty major ramifications!

Interesting shift in teacher education content. Indeed, harkens back to Randy's comment about use technology if it helps, not as a driver of education. :)

The Rich See the Internet Differently that the Poor--from Scientific America

Something to consider! :)
