D-Lib Magazine (April 2005) The April issue of D-Lib contains several valuable articles including two on Social Bookmarking Tools. The tools that are reviewed (de.licio.us, Flickr, Connotea, etc.) have been discussed elsewhere, including in this blog, but the D-Lib presentations do an excellent job comparing features, putting the tools into an historical context, and providing extended discussions of issues related to tagging. ____JH 3:18:41 PM    COMMENT []

Educational Podcasts: Basic Software and Tools I'm re-posting this article from XplanaZine by Susan Nash; it's a useful review of basic resources that can be applied in instructional settings. ___JH    Getting Started with Educational Podcasts for Portable Education: Basic Software and Tools. We've talked quite a bit about the why's and when's of new technologies for military students in online courses, especially as it relates to downloading content to portable players. Here are some useful programs -- most are free, with the official descriptions from the various websites, and a bit of commentary from me. [XplanaZine] 9:46:49 AM    COMMENT []
