So. Here is my wiki page. This wiki is much easier to use compared to Media Wiki's software.

Hi Mariann, Attached is the mp3 file containing the 10 words you requested. I saved it as one file, but there are large spaces between each word, so you can separate them to insert into your audio track. Perneita

Video
I opted to create a different kind of video. I teach freshman composition and one of my modules focuses on the rhetoric of speech and advertising. So I twisted that around and used visual images to illustrate a speech. I used iMovie and iTunes to create this video, which uses a Johnny Cash recording of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. All of the photos are from the Civil War period.

Web 2.0 for My Class
It was difficult for me to identify Web 2.0 content that I have never used. My job and personal interest keep me engaged with the latest in technology nearly every day. Sometimes I sign up for services and never use them; other times, they become integral parts of my life.

In any case, here are the items that I might use and how I would use them. Since I am not teaching this semester, I've used my work-related tasks to create this content.

Screenr - It's the same concept as Jing, ScreenCast and Screen Capture, but it's integrated with Twitter. This means I can easily answer common "how to" questions and then push the demonstration/response out via Twitter. I used Screenr to create a 35-second video on how to log into the LMS. media type="custom" key="4830613" Nice work Mariann and Leslie, but Leslie your audio was a bit too low. Not a big deal. Mariann, what I heard was excellent. You have a natural narrator's voice! Dr. Sponder

[|Tweeterview] - This offers a lot of promise for courses where interviewing someone is an activity. Not only does it teach students how to use Twitter, it tracks the resulting conversation for easier review. Currently in beta. Invitation only.

Tgether - Students working in small groups might benefit from a single email address for all correspondence rather than remembering to check or enter all member contact info. The LMS usually does a good job of facilitating group communication so I'm not sure how well this would work. On the other hand, it's a very nice alternative to distribution lists in Outlook. I created a quick list and sent out a message with an attachment. Participants can respond online or via email using the assigned address.



Pockets - Another good way for students to communicate, though I might be tempted to use it for my own work as I despise the telephone and the voice mail system we use on campus.



Ubidesk - Here's an online workspace for team collaboration. It provides a web-based group space for file sharing, document collaboration, and project management. Again, the LMS usually provides this to teams/groups when they collaborate, but sometimes it's not as dynamic as Web 2.0 tools. The resulting interface reminds me of WikiSpaces.

Special thanks to Leslie!

media type="custom" key="4885103" Alternative videos: These screen capture videos demonstrate various "how-to" tasks in Blackboard, my campus LMS. I had to make them recently to support our H1N1 readiness and thanks to this course, I knew how to use Jing to make the videos quickly! I've done 8 so far, but here are a couple for demonstration.
