When students return to class this fall, a majority of them will be toting something that teachers themselves are still learning to deal with: a mobile device. Whether it's a smartphone, tablet or laptop, survey after survey shows more and more — and younger and younger — schoolchildren have their own computing devices and are taking them to class. A report last year found that just among Grade 4 students, 25 per cent had a cellphone; for high school students, close to 90 per cent have smartphones.

The digital battle is on! Content competition is fierce. One billion websites, two billion plus social media users and 3 billion plus mobile owners. So you need to break through the clutter not only on desktop but on smart phones. But build it and they will come is not an option.
Content marketing is two words. So you not only have to create great content. But you have to build distribution networks for that content and then hustle it to the world on social, email and search engines. It needs persistent focused effort. That’s marketing.

This year, we saw a recognizable boom of the social media industry. More than 1 billion people are now using Facebook, and more than 80% of small businesses use social media for their branding and marketing efforts. Among the biggest global brands, almost 99% have a social media presence. Truly, social media has changed the way marketing and advertising works. While 2015 was a great year for social media, 2016 is predicted to be even better. Here are some predictions on social media trends for the coming year.

If you are having students take notes in a Google Doc, in particular if those notes require diagrams, consider providing the students with a Google Doc that contains graphic organizers. I am not advocating for fill in the blank type notes where the students fill in a word from the notes being projected. Instead, provide a structured Google Document that contains graphic organizers to save students time from having to draw the charts. Provide students the tools they will need for taking the notes.

Grumpy Old Teachers started with Scott Bedley @scotteach and Jon Samuelson @jonsamuelson deciding to create a show that let them vent publicly. With almost 40 years of teaching experience between the two of them, they are grumpy old teachers. This episode is a test of converting to a new format: blab.im and brings in listener, John Portier @mr_portier, a third grade teacher in Texas.

A Quick Overview Of Four Instructional Design Models
When using advanced eLearning authoring tools we are sometimes tempted to follow a mechanistic approach to designing feedback. It is easy to use templates or just to copy and paste automatic feedback comments in quizzes. However, we should remember that proper feedback can be a very influential mechanism with an ability to improve people’s competencies. To use the full power and potential of feedback in eLearning we need to spend much more time on designing it and just forget about doing simplified work on it.

What if I told you that there are three distinct types of Twitter Retweets and they can all be used differently to get specific results? Would you be surprised? The fact is that most people are only aware of or consistently using one of the three types and missing opportunities to be effective.You might be surprised to learn that Twitter didn’t even invent the RT. Retweets were actually started by Twitter users, not the social network itself. Back on April 17, 2007, Eric Rice (also from Portland
