    How Can I Learn More About New Media?

    Dan Karleen
    Thomson Peterson’s
    Syndication for Higher Ed

    Developments in new media seem to be occurring more and more rapidly. Whether you refer to the web as “teeming” (as Bob Robertson-Boyd and Dimitri Glazkov say) or “come as you are” (Dave Winer), it can certainly be challenging to keep up. It’s increasingly important to be familiar with sites that can help you learn and tools such as RSS (Really Simple Syndication) readers and blog search engines that will help you scan for new information efficiently. This brief screencast introduces some key sites and tools that will help you get started and stay informed. A warm thanks to Karine Joly, Paul Baker, and Erin Caldwell, who shared their expertise in the interviews linked below.

    Nice screencast, Dan. I followed along and bookmarked the sites I wasn’t already familiar with. I’m going to download the Camedia application and play with it; I can see its potential value in some presentations I’ll be doing.
