Practical tips from Tom Barrett on starting to build a network on Twitter. It's aimed at teachers who are new to it but is great advice for anyone wanting to engage with a larger community. Like Tom highlights, managing a decent network doesn't happen by magic but requires a bit of thought and effort before it starts paying dividends

This is a pretty slick piece of marketing for Evernote that highlights some of the uses the app has in an educational context. It's part VLE, part ePortfolio, part blog etc.

Although the students all have shiny looking Macs, that's a bit of a red-herring. It's the fact that Evernote can run on multiple platforms (inc mobile) and over the web that makes it such a great tool.

I also REALLY want to be able to make videos as slick as these.
