Blogging Reluctance: I’ve talked to many schools recently who are doing some amazing things with blogging in their classrooms. Edublogs states, “Edublogs hosts hundreds of thousands of blogs for teachers, students, researchers, professors, librarians, administrators and anyone and everyone else involved in education.” Yet, I still run into schools/districts that prohibit blogging altogether.
So, I wanted to pass on this link to Techlearning’s short article on reluctant bloggers that found it’s way into my inbox this week and I’d love to hear from you about how/why you’re using blogs OR how/why you’re not using blogs.
Podcast For Free Online: Check out MyPodcast.com for a free online way to record, edit and publish a podcast! Very cool.
A couple more from the iPod 100 List: This week I looked at two more of those 100 Instructional iPod uses I posted a couple weeks ago.
ESL Podcasts was the first one I checked out. These are free podcast intended to help ESL students learn English.
Mogopop! was my next adventure. This is a sharing site for multimedia created by other users for use on iPods. Some areas have quite a bit of content, some of it directly intended for education. Some other areas are still a little sparse, but I’m sure it will continue to grow. I plan on spending quite a bit more time here.
