What I learned about Podcasts and future use..

There certainly is a good bit to know to really understand the total possiblities in podcasting. I had some difficulty trying to download to an mp3 server on my computer and also with getting the podcast onto box.net. I think I will blame these problems on the computer. It was much more fun and interesting in making the actual podcast and trying to edit it some. The ability to add music to the podcast should certainly create alot of interest in students. I am not sure how many students have already posted links to their blogs in regards to their podcasts? They are probably much more aware of this process than I was to begin with. It would still be a very good learning process for students if they are given a project and guidelines for doing their podcast. When video is thrown in the mix, the podcast becomes a very
attention getting device for students. It is not hard to wonder that some students might choose to do some not so good things with some of their podcasts. This would be a concern for teachers. I only know the most basic of the podcasting techniques, but would like to learn more for the use of incorporating it into the classroom. I can think of students doing their reports using a podcast as one of many possiblities.

Delicious and Flickr - Official Blog #4

In learning about applying tags through Delicious and Flikr, it appears that these activities will be a help to both teachers and students. The student can tag information or pictures they may wish to use for class projects. The teacher can tag sites, pictures and videos that seem relavent to future lesson planning.
No longer will a file cabinet need to be filled with material that may be needed at a latter date. Both pictures and documents can be instantly saved on the internet and recalled when teachers are planning lessons or when students are sharing information with each other for a class project. The sharing aspect should be a big help to teachers once colleagues are aware of this aspect of Delicious and Flickr. I have a lot to learn about this process, but it does seem like a very quick(time saving) way to save, organize and share documents of interest. I definitely need some time saving and organizing assistance.
