My friend Helen (@hhmosher on Twitter) posted this on LinkedIn. It’s definitely a great article that shows something that we tech comm peeps already knew–that content strategy hold a lot of importance these days, and it’s good to understand what it is and how to use it.

Ellis Pratt of Cherryleaf was kind enough to use my blog as an example in his latest STC Notebook article. It’s a good article, too, even without the mention of my website! Do read this article–it’s good reading. 

 

Thanks, Ellis! 🙂

This is why I love iPads so much. I think it opens up whole new worlds not only for non-verbal autistics like the boy in this story, but also those who are verbal, like my high-functioning son. I still believe that tablets–especially iPads–are still the tools that will help the most with aiding special needs kids communicate and participate in society.

This is a great article by Joel Kline, who is someone I met and chatted quite a bit with at the STC Summit. Joel makes an excellent case here on how social media and websites should be used cohesively. In the end, it’s still about knowing your audience! A must read!

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

I am all too familiar with the concept of neurodiversity, even before learning about the movement due to my son’s issues. My father, now a retired educator, was fascinated with "learning styles’ as they related to the concepts portrayed in this article, and the issues I had in school, as well as those my son has now, make me fully aware of this. 

 

Those who are in e-learning, m-learning and tech comm should read this article. It helps to provide a mental framework for understanding who needs to be reached in a broad audience, and how different methods can be beneficial in the output of content.
