Big thanks to Joan Vinall-Cox for cross-posting pointers to a couple very promising pieces on the SocialLearning.ca site:
The current issue of Innovate has a number of interesting articles. I especially recommend Mejias’s Teaching Social Software with Social Software and Ferris’s & Wilder’s Uses and Potentials of Wikis in the Classroom with [...]
