Google Docs | eLearning Infusion
Good description of how students can use google docs and a highlighting system to do peer editing of written projects.
"While the initial planning or brainstorming phase may or may not be completed digitally, the complete draft-share-feedback-improve-publish-share process is completed within the Google Apps environment.

Employee Development and Training - 2010 Predictions
10 ways social media/social networking will impact professional development (and maybe classroom teaching)
-
Blogs- Instead of wasting time with large meetings to provide status updates, corporate learning leaders will lead the charge to use blogs in engaging employees and keeping the conversation fresh. As we know, reinforcement is key and blogs are a fantastic tool to remind your employees about how key learning points relate to their daily work. A little bit of information at a time helps employees to feel informed and connected. All major players in your organization should have a blog and employees should be free to choose which ones they follow (with help from your recommendations).

Facebook, Friending, and Security | Staff development presentation
Quote from author:
Starting this week, I will be traveling to our buildings to discuss with teachers about friending and security settings within one of the most popular social networking sites… Facebook. I have created a slideshare (below) to coincide with the discussion. If you have trouble seeing some of the slides, it will be helpful to put it into full screen mode.
