Just in case anyone has stumbled upon this blog unaware, I thought that I'd explain the spark that led to this flame.
Along with several other people, I am in the final days of a summer school graduate class at Rutgers University. The class, taught by Steve Garwood, is designed to introduce and provide a practice ground for using several of the newer Social Information tools, that are largely free (Open Source) over the Internet.
The platform for this blog is free. The class has also created podcasts, worked with Flickr, created wikis, and played some online games.
The experience has been great -- as far as I am concerned. My only regret about my experience is that I took the class during the summer. A summer session does not allow enough time to adequately learn how to use these resources. That was not a shortcoming of Garwood's. It is merely the summer school system.
As it turns out, we have only had time to scratch the surface of what is available in Social Information. I especially want to learn how to create audio-visual blogs or vodcasts.
I do expect to delve into that area further.
This class was taught via screen captures, Camtasia software, and vodcasts.
I intend to continue this blog and the numerous other blogs that I began during this session.
