Anthony S. Karen: A photojournalist’s unrestricted access to the Ku Klux Klan (PHOTOS). Anthony S. Karen Photographer Anthony Karen’s use of the word sir in emails might stem from his service in the Marine Corps. It could also be indicative of his humanitarian side and his affiliations with charities including Friends in Deed, Smile Train, and the Humane Society. That simple level of politeness is also a small window into how he has been able to document as a photojournalist many of the most feared, secretive, and marginalized pockets of society around the world. On his website, Karen writes that his passion for photography began during a trip to Haiti, where he documented Vodou rituals around the country. Gaining access to secretive pockets of society is based upon trust, something Karen doesn’t take lightly and that he sees as a foundation of photojournalism. To gain access into the Klan, Karen initially reached out to members through contact information on websites via phone calls and emails.

E-learning Review of 2012 | Elearning Market 2012 saw some significant developments, which all point to the growing maturity of the elearning market. Our monthly market updates covered the key developments.

This was reinforced by research by Opinionmatters for Skillsoft, which found that 93% of companies in the UK planned to either maintain or increase their training budgets over the next 12 months.

Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012: The Battle to Open Textbooks Part 6 of my Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012 series Digital Textbooks When I looked at the most significant trends in educational technology last year, I opted to write about the “Digital Library” in lieu of digital textbooks. In May, the Book Industry Study Group released the results of “a first ever survey of college faculty perceptions toward classroom materials” that found that most professors (88%) still prefer (and assign) the printed versions of textbooks and other class materials. Digital textbook provider Coursesmart issued a press release the same month with (not surprisingly) a sunnier view on adoption and usage. But that didn’t stop publishing companies, tech companies, governmental agencies, and non-profits from pushing digital textbooks this year. As I wrote at the time, I was a little dismayed by the PDF and by the oft-touted argument that the main reason we’d “go digital” are to make our kids’ backpacks lighter: (Answer: it's Apple.)

The 33 Best Educational Technology Blogs for 2012 EduBlog Awards were announced a few days ago and unfortunately Educational Technology and Mobile Learning did not win but was among the finalists. I must admit that I did not even know my blog was among the finalists till today or else I would have been promoting my nomination just like what the other finalists and winners did.This month has been the busiest month in my entire life, everything just got piled up on me , my Master exams, work, working on my blog template, preparing ebooks to publish here later on and the list goes on. One of the things I like about this Edublog Award nominations is that they feature great blogs you might not even have heard of before . This is a good opportunity for you get to know new blogs and follow or subscribe to them. At least in Ed Tech category, I personally know every single blog listed there and I always subscribe to the new ones added to that list.
