"Hi Buster - would it be possible to fix my streak (Jennifer M Jones) I couldn't get in at all on the 5th (but wrote offline) and had the same problem yesterday as others have mentioned (not being able to save beyond 749 words) Thanks so much for the work you've done to ensure that us 750 words addicts can keep getting their fix! :-)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"I helped beta test posterous groups (was top secret!) - and there were a couple of points to note. The noise does get a bit crazy in your inbox, especially when it feels like a free for all in the beginning. It was nice to start threads and comments from inbox and saw it being more useful than say, a mailing list, especially if you want something that is recognisable as a website or blog externally. Look forward to testing it more with smaller sizes in future." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"#1: A student educated solely through free online university courses will take the LSAT or MCAD and receive a test score high enough to be accepted by a major law school or medical program. The student will, however, be denied entrance because she doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year institution. The student will sue. The case will be closely monitored by open-source advocates as well as the guardians of the traditional four-year college. The case will be the opening salvo in the battle to define the future of education." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Presentations  for a faculty or disciplinary audience are subtly different to those you give at a conference, but not talked about as frequently. These ‘internal’ presentations are important because they tell your colleagues what kind of researcher you are; it helps you socially and academically to perform well to your peers. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Every battle we fight is a battle for the hearts and minds of other people. The only chance we have of reaching people who haven't yet heard what we've got to say is through the media. We might, with good reason, regard the papers and broadcasters with extreme suspicion, we might feel cheapened and compromised by engaging with them. But the war we're fighting is an information war, and we have to use all the weapons at our diposal. Whether we use the media or not, our opponents will. However just our cause and true our aims, they will use it to demonise and demolish us, unless we fight back. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Known for his critique of modernization and the corrupting impact of institutions, Ivan Illich's concern with deschooling, learning webs and the disabling effect of professions has struck a chord among many informal educators.

witter has become a new home for tvnewsers, as they follow news websites, TV news programs, and TV news shows in 140-character bursts. To celebrate this new kind of criticism, @TVNewser is building a directory of the best newsrooms (or collection of newsers) on Twitter. Because there are so many to choose from, TVNewser has compiled a list of newsrooms to follow, and for the bigger newsrooms, we have provided official lists. We’ve collected these newsers in a handy Twitter list, but after the jump, you can explore our growing collection of TV newsrooms–they are listed alphabetically with links to each feed or list. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"The 2010 G20 summit in Toronto marked the first time the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation collaborated with citizen journalists on a large and integrated scale. In the lead up to the event, we noticed our online community was passionate about the topic. As a public broadcaster, we saw it as a perfect opportunity to tap into that conversation and encourage members of our wider online community to share their perspectives and reflect them back to the rest of the country. In addition to our extensive TV, radio and online coverage, the CBC News social media team worked with a number of citizen contributors who shared their perspectives on the summit -- and the protests -- taking place in their city by blogging, tweeting, and filing photos to our website. They also appeared live on CBC News Network, CBC's 24-hour news channel." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones
