elearning: Web 2.0 Barry's 2nd Session

I went to Barry Dahl's second session which was held as a pre-conference session Saturday. To access his presentation materials can be found at http://barrydahl.com (click on resources tab)

site: www.lsc.edu/connect username citguest2

Great resources can be found there. Other notes from his session:
Yahoo pipes connects 2 topics in search format?

Bliptv is the format he recommends for uploading/hosting videos as he believes the quality is slightly better than youtube

Ted.com is supposed to be a good site to check out. Quite a few participants in the session seemed familiar with this.

Wiki's can be used for group project contributions.
MY IDEA: set up wikis with continent names for small groups and small group contributions for applying/researching class concepts specific to a geographical area

Some fun quotes "it's not really a web search, what it really is that you want is a web FIND"
"linkrot" deadend links that don't result in desired outcome due to address changes or deletions

Diigo--slideshow of webiste

Toonbook--application for making cartoons
MY IDEA: IP Have students introduce themselves to the class using a cartoon or demonstrating an interpersonal appropriate vs innappropriate example to a specific context

Pixton.com another application program similiar to toonbook but doesn't have "questionable material"

Delicious (I created an account) to for bookmarks

Zoho notebook -- I need to check this one out!!!! It was brought up quickly at the end but looks like a great and easy way to create a webpage or multi-media page
