June 25, 2010. Number 115
(35:26). This month we have
released our tentative summer Tech Camp
agenda, announce the availability of
Office 2010 from the FCCC for Palomar
employees, take a look at some of the
Office 2010 tools, examine two types of
course syllabi, discuss the merits (or
not) of Wikipedia, and even submit for
your edification maps that changed the
world.
May 28, 2010.
Number 114. This
month we have news of the official IS
adoption policy on Windows 7 and Office
2010; News of ATRC fall 2010 training,
specifically workshops, Blackboard 9
training, and summer and winter tech
camps; information on preparing your

articles on Office 2010.
April 30, 2010.
Number 113.
Our theme this month is "Summer
Tech Camp." If you
are a Palomar College faculty member, join
us this summer, August 3-6, for a fun,
educational tour that will provide you
with knowledge of the latest technology
tools and how to use them by creating a
brief "teaching talk" similar to the
famous TED
talks. Sign up by emailing the
PD office:
pdoffice@palomar.edu. The PD
Office will confirm with you via email
in May.

March 31, 2010. Number 112.
Our
theme this month is "Technology
Planning." If you have
not already participated in a planning
Q&A session with the Technology Master
Plan 2016 committee (yes, 2016) you will
soon. You will also be receiving
email questionnaires seeking responses
to tech-related queries. We
encourage you to let us know what you
want and what you think about the use of
technology in education. Your
input will be a valuable part of the
plan we have begun to write.
February 26, 2010. Episode 111
(40:43). Our theme
this month is "Call
for Videos." We have adopted a new streaming
technology based on Microsoft Smoothstreaming and the
Silverlight player. The good news: Better looking and
more secure online videos. The bad news: All
videos need to be re-encoded. Bring your videos in for
re-encoding. Videos on the current media server will
continue to play through the end of this calendar year
(12/31/10). After that, they will not play. Act
now to bring in your videos for re-encoding to guarantee
uninterrupted service.

We will be
doing a
2-hour workshop on Google Earth on
Tuesday, March 2. Google has added a
"nearby sites" feature to Google Earth
buildings; Amazon is the most trusted
brand in the US; Google explains,
publicly, how to use Google Voice; we
link a dozen great free online video
lecture sites; Google adds a location
filter to Search; how to keep YouTube
videos private; and Apple shareholders
vote to reject environmental measures.

January 29, 2010. Episode 110
(1:01:13). This is our first
podcast of 2010, and the first with our
new format. What we are doing now is
recording three separate audio files
during the month, and then “rolling them
up” into a monthly podcast at the end of
the month. The three separate podcasts
will be produced in the context of three
blogs that we maintain: 1) David Gray’s
Blackboard for Faculty blog; 2) Dr.
Haydn Davis’ Teaching with Technology
blog; and 3) my own Tech Talk Topic
blog. I encourage you to subscribe to
each of these. Subscribing to this
present blog will insure that you
receive the podcast and the brief notes
we produce here. For more details, read
and subscribe to our newsletter. The
“rollup” podcast that appears here
contains audio produced earlier in the
month, and other materials added on the
day of production.
