2 pieces of news from eSchool News
was caught up in my new research project on audioblogging, hence the infrequent update over here. and was slow in clearing my feeds as well. saw these 2 pieces of news which may apply to some of our work here?
1: Schools make content available to public
2: Teacher development key to tech success
food for thoughts … *burp*
What Is Web 2.0
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.
