SESSION VI: Podcast, Podcasting, Video Podcast, E-books

This section covers quite alot of information:

Podcasting - is a way of creating shows on topics of your interest and publish them to be subcribed by others with your same interest.

Podcast- A digital media files from the internet using syndication feeds playback on portable media feeds for players and computers.

Video Podcast- Also called video on demand.

E-Books- Electronic book equivalent to the printed book.

Wow!! All this information is wonderful I would love to learn about all these wonderful technology tools. I hope the district continues to all instruction in these areas and allow access to teachers and administrators to use at school.

SESSION V: WIKI'S & GOOGLE DOCS.

Today I set-up a Wiki account( so many accounts and PW"s!!!). Anyways, it's web pages that can only be accessed by invitation only. A great way to coordinate on project. I posted and edited a comment on wiki today. Here is a cool website called "Avatar". This sight allows you to create an animated "mini you" in your next life.

Google Docs is something like an e-mail without having to send it to anyone. Instead everyone goes to the e-mail to look for latest news or developments.

Session IV: Photos and Images

On Wednesday I set-up a delicious account to begin cataloguing my favorite sites. I also set-up a Flickr account where I found my lovely picture of daisies. I was a little confused about what the two accounts what allow me to do, but I think I've gotten that cloud to move on.

SESSION III TAGS: Delicious, Technorati, and folksonomy

• Tags are displayed as a "web link" bookmark (way of grouping).
• Delicious is a popular "free site" social bookmark.
• Technorati is an internet search engine for searching popular blog tags.
• Follksonomy is a method of managing the blogger's tags.

This is exciting information for an emergent blogger like myself

Session II: RSS & News Reader

The concept of RSS is easy to understand. However, actually doing it was a challenge. Maybe it had something to do with the district's connection.

I think once I really get the feel of this. It could really be useful.

Here's an internet safety site I saw on Sherry's blog.
