A happy new year to all, and hoping these words find you well. Quite a few events this spring to consider, and a call for podcast to support the iTunes U and ECIS pilot project.
I would like to highlight this portal http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/, rich in resources, and including a section containing a collection of short interviews by writers, columnist, journalist and University researchers sharing their perspectives on the virtual revolution, some great segments to support conversations and activities with parents, students and faculty.
