E-portfolios & using the iPod to blog and broadcast audio & video AND a new site podcast!

New section added: e-portfolios

I've finally added an e-portfolio page to the site, originally I left it off because I couldn't find a solution that met my needs, i.e. a free open source scalable soloution that allows students to create and manage their own online portfolios easily.

However,I recently came across the Googlios project and it's exactly what was looking for so I've added it to the site.

Added to ipod touch page:

• Justin.tv - Stream live video from your ipod touch to the web.
• Twitcasting - Stream live video or audio from your ipod touch to the web.
• Audioboo - Create podcasts from your ipod.
• Posterous - Create a blog and post to it via the ipod.

Finally I've decided to start using Audio Boo to create little podcasts that, I hope, will provide give a little bit more of an insight into why certain websites and resources have been added to my website & also explain how I hope to use them with staff and/or students.

You can subscribe to the podcasts here: http://audioboo.fm/Pauls_elearning

That's all for today!

Cheers!

An online podcast maker, a tool to annotate web pages & 2 more Moodle resources

Added to the Sound Recording page:

• Voisse - This is a free site that lets students create their own recordings either via their computer or by phone and then share those recordings with you. Very handy for audio journals!

Added to web page annotation:

• Markup.io - This installs a neat little bookmarklet into your web browser that you can click on at any time to start annotating whatever web page you are on at the time. Your annotated page is then given a unique URL which can be shared with students so they can view your notes.
  

Added to the Moodle page

• Moodle tutorials by educators for educators - A collection of tutorials on moodle.org written by the Moodle community.

• Creating the perfect Moodle course by Mark Drechsler - A nice presentation that gives tutors some hints and tips on how they can make their Moodle courses better.
