this article isn’t new, but KT mentioned that perhaps we can weave it into a lit review on audioblogging/podcasting in education that we are preparing. just to capture a few URLs on the topic here as well:
1. What Is Web 2.0 – Design Patterns and Business Models for the Next Generation of Software by Tim O’Reilly
2. Web 2.0 – Wikipedia
3. Mindmap created by Markus Angermeier on November 11, 2005 summarising Web 2.0 presented by Tim O’Reilly on September 30, 2005.
Blogging in Primary Education
Read this post off Dave Tosh’s blog, a paper “Elgg and Blogging in primary education” by Miles Berry was mentioned in the post. Could serve as a useful resource if one would like to explore/implement the ELGG platform.
Podcasting gaining foothold
Nielson//NetRatings released a report:
6.6 percent of the U.S. adult online population, or 9.2 million Web users, have recently downloaded an audio podcast; 4.0 percent, or 5.6 million Web users, have recently downloaded a video podcast. These figures put the podcasting population on a par with those who publish blogs, 4.8 percent, and online daters, 3.9 percent.
Looks like podcasting has overtaken blogging as the next popular online activity? The full report goes here.
Podcasting and Geography
kenneth@voyeurism recently presented a paper which explores how podcasting can be used in geography at the symposium of the commission on geographical education of the international geographic union and the international cartographic association (IGU-CGE) in brisbane. can check out the ideas even if you are not a geography teacher 🙂

On social software
was working on my latest ‘production’ for audioblogging/podcasting and went to hunt down some definition of ‘social software’, gotten two good links:
1. My working definition of social software… by Tom Coates (with truly rich exchange in the comments)
2. Are You Ready for Social Software? by Stowe Boyd
Social software are built to:
1. Support for conversational interaction between individuals or groups
2. Support for social feedback
3. Support for social networks
(extracted from Boyd’s article)
