Last year I wrote a short piece about the excellent EDUCAUSE 7 things you should know about... series, each of which provides a practical 2 page overview of a particular learning technology, summarising how it works, where it is going, and why it matters to teaching and learning.
Since then, EDUCAUSE has published several more in the series. As with similar "how to" guides I think there is a case for publishing them in wiki format so that the community can weigh in and update them, and I wonder if EDUCAUSE considered this approach. Here is a complete list, current on 5 January 2007:

- October 2006 Google Earth;
- September 2006 YouTube;
- August 2006 Facebook;
