A school-is-about-to-start technology in learning session showed one of anthropology professor Michael Wesch's collaborative class video productions today, which has me thinking about how to use this blog and my original Blogger blog http://boblog.blogspot.com in class...



Here's Wesch's website with a huge discussion of the video:
http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=119

Among other new media ideas I'm considering...

  • http://lib.radford.edu (especially the Proquest newspaper and magazine archives for media history class)
  • http://archive.org (also for old media)
  • http://Twitter.com (as a reporing/surveillance tool?)
  • The print edition of the Wall Street Journal, which actually is home delivered in Radford, unlike The New York TimesWashington Post. (To be eyewitnesses to the Murdoch transformation, online and in print.)
  • http://Facebook.com
  • http://scripting.com (and other bloggers headed for the presidential nominating conventions)
  • http://www.radford.edu/comm (to help the faculty define our new School of Communication)
  • http://PBwiki.com (used with some success last semester)
  • WebCT/Blackboard
  • Collaborative features of Google docs... which gets back to the video above, which started with that huge class collaborating on a script. My biggest class, "Media History," is still smaller than 50, so we should give it a try.
