They say teachers must be prepared to find and adapt new technologies to engage the digital generation, as well as work across traditional subject areas using project learning. They must be able to use data and evidence to inform their practice and know how to work in both virtual learning environments and brick-and-mortar schools. And they’ll need to collaborate with community-based organizations and work in schools that provide all kinds of other services for students and their families. Via Nik Peachey 
I propose that technology leaders take on the challenge of appropriate use of cell phones before we ask schools to take on the use of cell phones by students. I remember this same issue with the Internet. Teachers knew that the Internet could be useful, but fear and lack of knowledge made many resist the use of the Internet in the classroom. In my opinion, educators need the following things when trying to embrace change. Via Nik Peachey

As a professor, one of my primary pedagogical goals is to get students to “join the conversation.” Regardless of the subject matter I am teaching, I see it as my job to show students what is currently being said about a particular topic, helping them to understand the field of study, the terms under which the dialogue is taking place. And, equally as important is encouraging them to use that base understanding to take ownership over the knowledge they have gained and to begin to participate in the ongoing dialogue around the subject matter.

Edulang's revolutionary pay what you want program invites learners to contribute what they want for superior English-learning applications. Based on underlying theories of L2 reading comprehension and text comprehension with multimedia, and in light of the new tools and modes of information presentation that are now available, researchers have a variety of avenues for studying how people comprehend text in a second language with the help of multimodal instructional materials. In this paper we discuss how L2 reading research is focusing increasingly on the cognitive processes involved in reading, that is, the interaction of lower-level, bottom-up processes such as vocabulary acquisition with higher-level, top-down processes such as activating prior knowledge. We combine this knowledge with current research on learning with multimedia, focusing on how learners integrate verbal and visual information, particularly with respect to the individual differences among learners that moderate, if not determine, learning processes.

Kerio Workspace has some features in common with collaboration solutions such as Basecamp, but without the project management features.
It has more in common with file-sharing solutions such as ShareFile and with enterprise microblogging solutions like Flowr.
Kerio has a system for tracking changes, and social elements like a “news feed” where co-workers can post what they’re working on. It also lets users create internal “web pages” to display documents, audio and video, and users can specify if they wish to receive alerts by email.
Kerio Workspace 1.1 can be hosted in-house on your organization’s servers under Windows, Mac, Linux or VMWare. Pricing starts at $150 for a 5-user license. Additional user licenses are $30 each. Via Robin Good 
From the article: Standard whiteboards aren’t cutting it anymore in an age where everyone in enterprise is concerned with sharing and collaborating over projects via the cloud from anywhere, anytime.
Additionally, content on whiteboards don’t typically show up very well when in video conferencing mode.
Polycom is trying to meet both of these challenges with the introduction of the Polycom UC Board, which basically shares content written on the whiteboard to all screens and mobile devices that are connected to the video meeting.
Along with sharing presentations, the UC Board software enables conference participants to use the UC Board to write, annotate or highlight key points directly on top of the shared content in real-time.
The UC Board solution is comprised of a compact infrared sensor that attaches to a whiteboard or LCD screen, along with a wireless stylus that meeting hosts can use to write and sketch with just like any regular pen or marker.
Such a solution is especially targeted at students and professors, doctors, architects, and marketing departments.
Naturally, there is a catch. Anyone who wants to use this product must already have a Polycom HDX series video communications system already set up.
At that point, it should be relatively simple to use (in theory) as it is touted as a USB plug-and-play configuration.
The Polycom UC Board solution is available starting today for $1,999.
