Hi!

Things have been a little quiet on this blog - I've moved over to WordPress and wanted to make sure everything was working OK before I notified my 5 faithful readers in Bloglines (and maybe more elsewhere???) that the feed address has changed! I'd love to have you join me on my new'ish blog!

Various feed flavours are available as follows:
RDF/RSS 1.0

SuprGlu will let you gather multiple RSS feeds into the one page, organised by date. Great if you have multiple locations for storing stuff on the web, but would like to combine several into the one page. Or as my other half suggested, for pulling a number of student blogs into the one page.

from the website: " Do you already use services like del.icio.us, flickr, blogger, typepad, etc? SuprGlu is a new way to gather all your content from those sites. In a nutshell, SuprGlu:

Audio about Blogging, RSS and Bloglines

These are some audio files to go along with my 'Getting Started with Blogging and RSS' tutorial. In the online tutorial you will find all (and more!) of the web addresses I refer to in the audio. You can listen to one or more of the audio files, and you don't necessarily listen to them in any particular order. I prepared them for the June Mini Online Event held by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework's 2005 Networks Project.
Enjoy!

Nancy White - Competencies for Online Communication

My notes from the Nancy White Keynote in the Collaborative Learning Conference 2005 run by iCohere.

Nancy's presentation contained possibily more questions than answers - prompting some reflection on my part.

In the online environment we have a merge between what we know and what we imagine - eg what we get from someone's introduction and what we imagine about them.

Online world is full of great possibilities and small annoyances

The Art of Blogging

link to website

George Siemens of elearnspace provides a succinct intro to blogging in the context of information flow, including rss. Html based presentation so no plug ins etc required. I like the diagrams especially in terms of potential for dialogue and sourcing information.

George writes:
"Some Trends with Content and Information:
- Two-way flow - creator and consumer of content can interact
- Questioning bias
- Increased dialogue/discussion
- Voices given to individuals
- Decentralized - power pushed to the edges
- Increased equality among nodes
- Modularization
- Pliable connections (or connected specialization)
- History given to knowledge/learning that used to vaporize"

The Art of Blogging

Overview, Definitions, Uses, and Implications Part One.

"Blogging is using a new medium for what it is good for - connecting and interacting. Blogging is a first generation tool built on, and taking advantage of, the unique attributes of the Internet. It has been dismissed as a self-centered passing fad...and as the new model of interactive journalism, communication, and learning. This article explores the the uses, benefits, implications, and art of blogging."
