Everything Christopher Pappas writes here is exactly right. This is my exact point of view about the topic as well. It doesn’t apply to just e-learning or m-learning as well. I have found that social media has expanded my approach to technical communications as well, so the methods he describes here really has a broader reach than just the e-learning community. This is a must-read article!

Ellis Pratt from Cherryleaf wrote this really interesting article about the process of commenting on blogs. I think he’s on to something here. I always welcome comments, even if it’s just the pat-on-the-back comments, just so that I know my concept is sane. 😉 I try to invite comments with some posts, and I still don’t get bites. Hmm. Perhaps I need to include more Star Trek and Doctor Who after all (which shouldn’t be too hard for me!).

Having a son who is a Minecraft aficianado, this is a great exercise. At this point, my son has built whole towns and complexes, but this is why I don’t object to him playing. It helps him learn about 3D design and creativity.

Thanks to @kevin_corbett for finding this article. I do think gamification helps in the learning process, but as the article points out, we’re still in our infancy stages of truly deploying this effectively. Good article.

I love this! I think it’s something that’s easily overlooked, not only for students, but adults too. Adults get too obsessed about the tools as well, if you ask me! And as is the case with both the student and adult populations, we can always learn and adapt to new tools.
