Flickr and Podcast; who coined these words? I'm intrigue by the spelling of 'Flickr'. I am positive the folks at Webster Dictionary are busy with updates as new digital terms emerge at a steady pace.
Technology has certainly offered educators and students many options for learning. Digital learning has taken the education of students out of the textbook. Through the use of Flickr, any school events can be digitally produced for review or for the archive. Think about having such a resource to convince the school board, donors or parents about the benefits of a possible learning field trip. This is especially true for learning experiences to far away places. Producing photos and videos on Flickr address different learning styles of our students.
Digital learning is the answer to the students who struggle in their academic class. Introducing these learners to the possibilities of Podcast will highlight their abilities as they manage the technical aspect of producing a Podcast presentation. Students can use Podcast to share their learning even at the national level. I'm excited to learn from students from different regions of our nation.
This class has open up a world of learning that I did not know existed. There are such a variety of Read/Write Web learning that I personally want to be selective in the ones I present to my students, so as a learning community we can grow in proficiency.
