Today's Wired Campus profiles a professor who shows a live Twitter stream from his students in conjunction with his normal curricular materials:
This is an idea we could try in workshops, training sessions - and the first real use of Twitter for active learning that makes sense to me.
In other news, I discovered a that Ellen Wagner - formerly head Education person at Macromedia and then Adobe - has a blog: ELearning Roadtrip - with a motto: Sustaining innovation and accelerating mainstream adoption of learning technology solutions"

I met Ellen a couple of times at various conferences and events, and always felt like her thinking was ahead of the curve.
Finally..it was fun to see our local Howe library profiled in a Library Journal article about lending out Kindle's.

Seems our local world is taking some steps towards experimenting with how digital books can be leveraged for readers. I think it is ironic that the Library world seems to have been consumed by what Google is doing - where the real story is the power that Amazon has with it's Kindle and ownership of Audible. We need to find ways to license these services to allow lending.
