It's not so much the design of the website as it is the delivery and content of the blogs themselves. I get a daily Facebook reminder of any new articles/blogs, the website does a good job of blogging about a variety of different education topics, and the blogs themselves are interesting, easy to read, and pertain to Edlab most of the time. This website might be a good one to keep in mind for NLT (whether it be on a mobile device or eventually a website).

Scott, Wow! Great run-down of Mind Shift's value and unique differentiators! Is this a common practice now to alert users of new content on Facebook? If so it might be a reason to lure me back to "the book!?"

Yes, facebook normally alerts you if there is new material posted from a group you are following. But often it is really up to the particular group on whether you will get an alert. MindShift's FB group does a good job of letting the people who like their page/group know when new material is posted, and gives you a little teaser on the topic itself. And it's my humble opinion that everyone should be on facebook, since it has so much utility besides just talking with friends.

I think the development of educational apps (for all ages) will increase as time goes on. Although, I think developers of some of these apps target children more because the market need for them, and the potential they can have early in ones childhood.
