Engaging Today's Conversations on Learning and Technology: Issues In Our Face and On the Horizon by Mark David Milliron and Steven Lee Johnson, League of Innovation Whitepaper
In our work with colleges nationwide and in supporting one of
the largest technology conferences in higher education-the League for Innovation's Conference on Information Technology-we
have worked over the last year to create a framework based on major trends, choices, and issues that interested and engaged
educators can use to begin their dialogue. Most of these issues fall into two categories: in your face or on the horizon. Those
that are in your face, you are likely already dealing with in some way, wrestling with formalizing plans of action or sharing lessons
learned. Those on the horizon are also likely being dealt with in some way, but as a field we are less clear about how we will
handle these issues. We have piloted this framework with several groups, and most find it a very useful tool for exploring today's
issues, particularly when combined with a deep commitment to make any solutions or decisions work toward the primary end of
enabling the college to improve and expand learning.

Creativity and Convergence by Mark Milliron, September 2002 issue of Converge Magazine
part of a new column "In the Balance", where Mark provides community college a on higher education.
We should examine the assumption that the object is to improve and expand the more human-intensive tools and techniques for learning. There's a core area to explore in the creativity and convergence arena, i.e., can creativity be sustained by "bolting" or "grafting" technology-inspired learning innovation to traditional techniques for teaching? One major challenge of the past 20 years has been redesigning the integration of technology into colleges and universities.

Education in a Digital Democracy by Mark David Milliron and Cindy L. Miles, November/December, 2000 EDUCAUSE Review
"Leading the Charge for Learning about, with, and beyond Technology"
Not all educators respond enthusiastically to the call to meet the needs of the digital economy, however. Our visits to the conferences, campuses, and communities where educators congregate have revealed a discordant rhetoric, from angry cynics on one side to true believers on the other. To these rival camps, the digital age is either the onramp to the apocalypse or the highway to heaven. But a third group is emerging, one that we call the "reasoned center"- the thoughtful critics and the careful advocates. From this reasoned center, we hear some consistent themes. They are looking at the changes the digital age has brought-changes in how we work, play, and learn. They are also exploring the challenges that confront us, from the digital divide to massive workforce shortages. Finally, they are beginning to formulate a charge for education in our emergent digital democracy, a charge that speaks even more directly to Jefferson's emphasis on the relationship between education and freedom.

The Cluetrain Manifesto
Get on the cluetrain! "Authors Christopher Locke, Rick Levine, Doc Searls, and David Weinberger show how the Internet is turning business upside down. They proclaim that, thanks to conversations taking place on Web sites and message boards, and in e-mail and chat rooms, employees and customers alike have found voices that undermine the traditional command-and-control hierarchy that organizes most corporate marketing groups."
While you can order the book form Amazon, Gonzo Marketing also has a copy of the entire book online (for free).
