Description:

• Are you part of the blogosphere? Do you want to be?
• Do you know how RSS (Really Simple Syndication) works?
• Would you like to start receiving “news” feeds via RSS to bring into control the proliferation of information sources?
• Do you want to know how to use those orange XML buttons you see all over the web?
• Would you like to find out how to start receiving podcasts using iTunes or other “podcatching” software?

In this hands-on workshop you will create your own blog, install and configure an RSS news reader program, subscribe to various podcasts, and learn how it all fits together. Ideas for using this technology in education will be offered.

Prerequisite: Familiarity with blogging would be useful, but not necessary.

Limit: 10 participants.
