personal preference versus the good of all

hmmmmm...... social constructivism or isolated comfort

Podcasts spreading the word at the speed of sound.

I have created a link to Wesley Fryer's Blog, a self-proclaimed digital storyteller and change agent. He has many links, discussions and downloads concerning podcasts and how they are being used for lectures, collaborative thinking, and teaching. www.speedofcreativity.org

Many of us own ipods and know what podcasts are, but their purpose is beings expanded and used very effectively by educators looking to tap into the potentiality of every form of digital technology. spreading the word at the speed of sound.

Web+Log=Blog

Blogs are web pages. Your email is a web page. Any window that ever pops up while your surfing is a web page. Any form of media that you watch or interact with on the Internet is occuring on a web page.

Text is all around us-WEBDINGS Translation

text is more than words. it is more than images. it is more than symbols and gestures. text is more than all of these things combined. Text is the texture of each of our worlds. it is the whispers in the halls of academia, the screams on the playing field, the way others touch you and look at you. You can see, smell, feel, hear, and taste text. text can be delicious. text can be poisonous. It all depends on you.
