**Bus​iness** Although this blog addresses the interests of college accounting teachers, Joe Hoyle provides also provides in-depth insight on many issues relevant to all educators, such as the future of on-line education and the role that resources like Google will play in the future. Anyone who teaches any subject to post-secondary students would enjoy the resources and comments available here. Those of you who teach in other disciplines might want to skim over the accounting if it doesn't apply to you and take a few moments to read Mr. Hoyle's thoughts on the changing parameters of a college education in the future. This is a very interesting read!
