Welcome! I’m so happy you are here for a visit. Relax and enjoy as I introduce you to some very exciting and modern technologies for today’s classroom relating to virtually any subject you can imagine. I will focus on how Web 2.0 is changing education. Specifically, I will cover Web 2.0 Blogs, Wikis, Podcasting, and Social Bookmarks for Educators. All of these Web 2.0 tools were designed to facilitate global collaboration for teachers and students in and out of the classroom.

Podcasting is another Web 2.0 technology. This technology requires software that can be downloaded from your PC or MAC from the Internet, and then transferred to an iPod or MP3 player using a podcasting application. It is a sequence of audio or video media files dispersed by the way of the Internet using RSS feeds. Podcasting can be used in the classroom to watch/listen to Talk and music shows, Interviews, story telling , audio books, tutorials and instructions, giving directions,sharing information, and providing commentaries on events.

Podcasting Benefits from a Duke University Student:
ReplyDeletePodcasting has been used primarily
for disseminating recorded lectures
and discussions.
In the report, one
Duke University student remarked,
"I loved being able to listen to
the lectures at my convenience,
to be able to listen to difficult
portions several times, and just
hear the material again—while
working out, or running other
errands—and I think the value
of listening to the lectures showed
through with a high score on the
first exam."
