WIKI's

I have done it yes sir the holy grail of wiki's. okay it just a test page, but I love the lay out of this one. It is the kind I will use. Instead of adding the audio in some side place you can add it directly to the post you are adding, as well as video or pictures or just about any file type.

This is a much better format for me personally and I think I will use this type of wiki when ever I do my wiki-ing.

I am going to give video in education a pass at this time. It is of limited use (unless its Youtube). Video to be a truly effective teaching tool must be used and created by the students. This is simply too time intensive. Even in a 8 minute video the edit time is so long that it is just not very useful to the average student unless they are actually studying visual arts, or learning the TV business.

       Any project requiring Video would require so much work to make sure all your groups (it would likely need to be group work) have access to the software and hardware and internet necessary to do the job.
    Podcasting is so much eaiser and more useful. It is easier to use and edit and rework if you don't like it. As far as the learning process it has the same benefit as video. Likely all your students have a super computer IN THERE POCKET or on your desk that can do the job quite well. If they don't they all have computers and that is really all that is needed.
     This will likely change as video gets eaiser to produce and edit but its just not there yet.

That will be the end of my posting for this week I have really spent too much time on it already,  but there it is. To be clear there are 3 posts above various Audio visual topics - this one - and the two below.
