Teachers can now design everyday learning activities using mobile phones and the internet. For students this makes events such as excursions, group discussions, and questionnaires all the more engaging. Using MiLK students can create their own learning profiles, discuss topics with other students and teachers, share ideas, photos, comments, and most importantly, design their own learning events. - Ewan McIntosh

The sites focus on communities of between 10,000 and 50,000 users, and blend Northcliffe’s local news and traditional media assets like classifieds and job ads with TrustedPlaces’ local business directories and social media elements, to create an ad-funded community publishing platform. - Ewan McIntosh

Following the success of AudioBoo, 4iP has unveiled another investment with the potential to completely change the face of mainstream media - though this time, it’s all about print. Newspaper Club is a tool to help people make their own newspapers using online content. The site’s in private beta, with a public launch planned for late summer. - Ewan McIntosh

The challenges of audience and conversation are never purely about technology, RSS or Twitter. They're nearly always about the connections your most passionate users or community members have both in the real world and online. My question for newspapers would be whether they really know who their online and realworld connectors and contributors are. If they don't, then they cannot hope to provide a space for them to find each other, to collaborate, communicate and comment on their sites and on the distributed networks of Twitter, Facebook et al. - Ewan McIntosh

The latest subscriber figures (see table below, and first published in my blog’s newspapers category) show that, apart from a couple of exceptions, it’s time for newspapers to turn off their RSS feeds - and hand over the server space, technical support and webpage real estate to an alternative, such as their Twitter accounts. - Ewan McIntosh
