Podcasts, newsfeeds and blogs oh my!
I thought you might like the obvious reference to the unforseen threats encountered on the "Yellow Brick Road" in the Wizard of Oz.
This can only mean that what we once think of as daunting and scary, will actually turn out to be quite tame - while at the same time - requiring a watchful eye.
Hi my name is David Penrose
Im the Instructional Designer here at Truman State University and this is my weekly podcast for April 13, 2005.
As I was thinking about this weeks pre-service, technology tidbit, and what I am hoping will become a regular monthly symposia ... I wanted to share some relatively recent developments to integrate what I have been hawking as the technology of 2005!
What I discovered is that Blogger has now integrated with other services to provide a virtual communication suite which includes text (blogs), feeds of updated information (RSS), audio recordings (podcasts), and images (flickr.com). ALL of these are FREE and available in both MAC and PC flavors.
In reflecting on this cornicopia of eye and ear candy, I wondered exactly how this could directly impact educators in higher education. Could this become the instructional technology of the equivalent of "bread and water"? Hmmmmmm .... that is yet to be determined.
What I do know is that this integration is bringing the accessibility to emerging technology back to a simple level, so that there are NO excuses for anyone NOT to use them. How so? The learning curve is infinitesimal. If you can use a telephone and send an email message, you have the skills NOW! Nothing else is required to populate by publishing.
So how does all of this work?
