Public Library Geeks Take Web 2.0 to the Stacks - Wired has some great stuff. Go here for this topical article on some of the material that we have covered in LLED 462. Definitely check out the Learning 2.0 site, and the 23 things. A vast majority of all the tech things from web 2.0 is here. If you do not know about 2.0, you may be outdated. I remember many years ago before I bought my first computer, which was a 10 meg 086 processor Samsung in about 1990, I heard a guy talking about the coming age of personal computing. He stated at the time that if you could not perform basic computer functions in ten years time, you would be considered illiterate by the standards of the day. This frightened me because I did not want to be a dummy to the upcoming new reality of learning and communicating, so I got the 086, since surpassed by the 286, 386 486, Pentium, etc. It can be tough to keep up. Also, I wonder if our students in 2007 feel literate because they have awesome computer skills but may not have great reading skills as teachers define them, that is, book reading and learning skills.
I will try this html code for a podcast mp3 player and hope it works:
