Ken's Key Takeaway: They reference S. Korea a few times. They need to be careful in thinking that what works in one system will work in another. With that said, I am a fan of the potential of being able to update textbooks much more quickly and customize them for your lessons. I also like the idea of parents being able to download the same book as the students. Ken

I really like this teacher's approach of adopting one new app every day. That might be a bit much for me and others. Yet choosing one every x days/weeks and giving it a good no-pressure test drive could be a great way to get comfortable with apps in a fun way. Delete the scoop?

Key Takeaway: Facebook users average 6 hours of use per month. Also, 1 out of every 7 mnutes spent on the internet is spent on facebook.

The Genius of the Pebble Watch Kickstarter Campaign
No one told the Pebble watch team they couldn't mashup distribution, pricing, marketing, sales and funding all in one brilliantly executed campaign. The team didn't have the "curse of knowledge". They didn't know how the game is normally played and that is really good.
Their lack of knowledge meant the Pebble watch team turned to Kickstarter to solve problems no one ever thought to solve via a "crowdfunding" platform. My ScentTrail Marketing post notes how getting distributors to come to you is brilliant.
Combine solving distribution with Pebble's amazing "create your own customized Pebble", an idea that puts the celebrity endorsement game on its head bedcause they fought to give Pebble $1200 each, and you get sheer marketing genius.
There is so much genius to go around here every Internet marketing team should study how Pebble solved traditional problems any startup faces with a single stroke of genius and OPP (Other People's Platforms).
I bet you lunch; your team will be using OPP in a similar way inside of two years.
