The Look Of A Wiki

PodCasts Podcasting is a blanket term used to describe a collection of technologies for automatically distributing audio and video programs over the internet via a publish and subscribe model. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio or television programs a new distribution method.

PodCasts So so simple to do. It is my guess that as soon as our students really figure out how to do this – it is going to skyrocket. One problem – the newest iPods don’t have the microphone adapter. (Check on the 20gb G3 ipod for easiest use) iTunes, a must!!!

Ideas for Parents “ Be up front about it and say "I've been going to some of the blog sites and I'm really curious what's going on with people your age today. I want to read some of the things on line. Let's sit down together and talk about some of the things that are going on on-line. I want to understand your world,” To keep your kids safe, ask your child to include you on his or her "friends list" so you can keep track of the content. If that doesn't work, you can, in some cases, search the sites using your teen's name or email address. Also, it's a good idea to keep computers in a common area and not a teen's bedroom. Experts advise parents to maintain trust, even though it may be hard to do. http://www.hi5.com/default.html
