I have a post looking at the potential of social media for educational organisations in Asia on the Hong Kong Polytechnic University blog at Asian Correspondent.

Social media in Asia watchers may be interested to read about the example of Professor Michael Netzley at the Singapore Management University who makes excellent use of digital media both as a learning subject and tool to engage his students.

Both Netzley and SMU may be familiar to many as he and his students are the ones behind the hugely successful Digital Media Asia Wiki, which I blogged about when it first launched and when it added Thailand, and other regional markets, to its list of countries covered.

The SMU's digital media Asia wiki is an excellent example of how educational organisations can make use of the internet and social media to encourage learning and development

The issue of digital and technology in Asia is one that has added momentum in Thailand as the country’s new government pushes forward with ambitious plans to equip all public schools with free WiFi access and one tablet PC for each student.
