The stereotypical Google+ user is a male engineer, but that’s only half right. According to new research, Google+ is still definitely male-skewing, but students outnumber software engineers by a wide margin.

Etextbooks and online learning communities are just a few of the ways colleges and universities are dabbling in digital. People are talking about digital tech’s opportunity to improve the classroom. Much of the discussion has been focused on digital textbooks.
Apple’s recent announcement of iBooks for education has caused a stir over whether texts delivered on an expensive and propriety device like the iPad are really feasible.
Meanwhile at the university level, many schools are dipping their toes in the promise of a digital future, and it’s not just about textbooks.
The folks at OnlineUniversities.com - http://bit.ly/zUdjDY have compiled the Infographic that explores the pros and cons of various platforms and technologies that have found their way into the halls of higher ed.

These days, he writes for publications such as Educause Review and roams the world of liberal arts colleges, weaving networks of people, media, and pedagogy through future practices such as prediction markets, scenarios, and indicators. Don't take my word for it. Check out the video and experience his raw energy directly. A few excerpts:
What does it mean to read on a Kindle, to read on an iPad, to read on a phone? Are we in the era of social reading, where you and I can read the same book, and then share annotations through the web or through mutual devices? Trying to figure out the specific technologies in some ways is not as important as looking at how we make use of it.

**** Welcome to the NFL Microsoft. Marty
'Microsoft has launched a site that curates content from blogs, news feeds, and social media sites in an effort to aggregate buzzworthy topics from around the Web in one place.
The site, msnNow, "cuts through the clutter of the Web, providing an up-to-the minute view of breaking trends and the hottest social conversations, what people are saying about them, and why they matter," the software maker said.
MsnNow captures feeds from Facebook, Twitter, Bing, BreakingNews.com, and other sites. Microsoft said content is chosen through the use of special algorithms that measure which topics are generating the most buzz around the Web.
The site features a rotating carousel of top stories at the top of the page, and a sidebar panel on the right that lists the "biggest movers."
MsnNow also features a prominent Bing search box, an indication that Microsoft is hoping the site will drive traffic to its search engine.'

You are the sum of your experience, knowledge, skills and wisdom gained over your lifetime. Often, your gut instincts will tell you that you know a better way, than a way that is being proposed to you, by someone claiming expertise in a particular subject.
Unfortunately, too often leaders and managers ignore their own gut feelings, or the gut feelings of their employees, when considering various options as part of a decision making process.
This excellent article, explains why you should take note of yours and others gut feelings at key decision points, and how you can learn to trust your own gut and teach others to trust theirs.

The startup, which is launching Tuesday, makes a web-based app that serves as a constant back-channel to classroom discussion. Students can use it to post questions about the lecture, vote up questions their classmates have already submitted, set their statuses to “confused,” and contribute to polls and questions posted by the teacher.
