Podcasts

There is a certain irony to the title of my blog, created in a workshop almost two years ago, and the fact that I am just now really starting to learn ab out podcasting. I suppose one reason was that I tend to do best if I focus on one task at a time. That time was spent primarily on wikis, blogging, and learning more about what is out there in technology via conferences,seminars, and developing a PLN.
One thing lead to another and yesterday I participated via elluminate in a webinar hosted by Classroom 2.0, a wonderful social networking group created by Steve Hargadon. This particular webinar's guest was Kevin Honeycutt, a teacher I had heard about in the past and had the opportunity to hear speak at ICE this past month.( he also has an interesting site called Art Snacks that is well worth investigating.) There was an active conversation and such positive energy shared all around. Many tips were given and sites shared. Listening and watching was like being bombarded by CNN or MSNBC news. hence, the beauty of the archive which not only provides a link to the audio, but one for the backchannel chatting as well as an interesting tool called sharetab which provides visual links to the sites discussed or recommended during the conversations.
I participated in a classroom 2.0 workshop this fall in Chicago for 2 days . I cannot believe the caliber of people I was able to meet and learn from there. It is no surprise that many integration specialists have blogs with titles referencing life long learning, as things are always changing , being introduced, and even disappearing from the face of the earth.
I have decided to post this review on the blog so that I will have one stop shopping for the plethora of information that was provided during the 1 1/2 hour discussion. I missed part of it, but the beauty of the archive is that now, not only do I have access to the whole conversation, but I can share it with OTHERS.
