Innovate (www.innovateonline.info) is published bimonthly as a public service by the Fischler School of Education and Human Services at Nova Southeastern University and is sponsored, in part, by Microsoft. You can subscribe to it for free and it is worth it given the wide range of articles it offers on education.
To get an idea of the contents of the February/March issue, it opens with Marc Prensky revisiting--and revising--the digital native/digital immigrant dichotomy he wrote in 2001. Patrick McGrail and Ewa McGrail then offer practical advice for students and educators attempting to comply with copyright law as they use Web 2.0 technology. The next two articles in the issue describe attempts to bring technology into the classroom, authored by Neelu Sinha, Laila Khreisat, and Kiron Sharma's. There is more.
Since the e-journal is sponsored by Microsoft, the Editor-in-Chief, James Morrison, encourages educators to submit manuscripts describing how they use Microsoft technology to enhance the educational experience of students. As an extra incentive, the senior authors of the top three papers published on Microsoft's Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/education/highered/technology.aspx prior to June 2009 will be invited to present their papers at the Microsoft Global Exchange summit in July 2009 (with expenses covered by Microsoft).
