Movers and Shakers
"The World is Open" educational technology is all about sharing what you know, evaluating what others are saying & remixing knowledge from others into new understandings. These are some of the folks who I consider to be true "movers & shakers" in ed-tech. They provide a wealth of knowledge and resources on their pages, podcasts, blogs, tweets and wikis. I recommend you check out their work, and better yet...subscribe to their blogs or podcasts if you want to know about emerging ideas and technologies in education.
