Find a program with a very strong research methodology approach. If you graduate without knowing how to evaluate research, you won't do anybody any good. I've seen too many smart people who just shy away from the whole research enterprise because they've never been prepared for it.

Home from IiL08
Brandon Hall Research is the type of company where you own your ideas. That means when you have an idea, it’s your to implement. I seem to have settled in to all things ’social media’ after embracing social networks, blogging, microblogging, wikis, and presence technologies. As a result, I ended up not getting enough 2.0 action myself but rather working with other people to establish their own blogs, wikis, Twitter accounts, social networks, and wikis, etc. Truly a gratifying experience. How nice to run across some photos and videos of what was an awesome week it was.

Searching for Expertise - LinkedIn Answers
Yesterday I created a screen cast on LinkedIn for Finding Expertise. Today, I saw a post on our Free - Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals where someone said:I am currently trying to find a SME experienced with Moodle (a CMS/LMS) and WizIQ (synchronous web class technology). I posted a query about this to several of the groups that I've joined on LinkedIn and have received about a dozen responses so far. I have yet to discover (through further research) which (if any) of the responses will be most helpful to me. This is definitely a knowledge work task where talking to someone will help.

Donald Clark Plan B: txtng (the gr8 db8)
Summary of a book by a professor of linguistics that examines and debunks the complaints about text messaging reducing literacy. Good collection of misconceptions about txtng with counterarguments and research.

The article quotes a paper from a group of Princeton researchers and includes this excerpt:"Rather than struggling, as it currently does, to design sites that meet each end-user need, it should focus on creating a simple, reliable and publicly accessible infrastructure that â¬Sexposesâ¬ý the underlying data.
