Educause has been publishing these useful little (2 pages) guides for some time now. And I've been punting them at my teaching (academic) colleagues...for some time now. I've even uploaded the more relevant ones to the staff development area of the college SharePoint (sic) shrine. Thus far, seemingly to little avail. Little change there then.
As they say:
The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative's (ELI's) 7 Things You Should Know About... series provides concise information on emerging learning technologies and related practices. Each brief focuses on a single technology or practice and describes:
* What it is
* How it works
* Where it is going
* Why it matters to teaching and learning.
* What it is
* How it works
* Where it is going
* Why it matters to teaching and learning.
Subjects / technologies covered recently include next-generation presentation tools, Google Wave, collaborative annotation, microblogging, personal learning environments... This list goes on and very informative they are too. All worth a look. Even (especially?) for those with very short attention spans.
