Here are some of the emerging technologies that have application in teaching.
As I have time to examine a variety of new technologies, I will post them here.
- RSS - I use RSS feeds to create student learning communities.
These feeds are relatively easy to set up and switch the paradigm from
teacher-centered top-down content to student-centered peer-to-peer content
using feeds, aggregation, and syndication techniques.
- Podcasting - Podcasting uses RSS to encapsulate feeds of audio
content. If you see students walking around wearing white earpieces,
they are candidates for podcasting.
- Blogging - Weblogging is a new form of interaction that gives
instant publication ability to anyone with a blog site. It uses RSS to
syndicated blog entries and make them available to subscribers.
- Wiki - If you really want to see what a user-contributed, open
source project can be like, visit the
wikipedia. It's just the tip of the iceburg.
