Penn State Blogging

I was trying to look on the Internet for instances where Web 2.0 using blogging, podcasts, webcasts and so forth were actually being used in the classroom setting. As a high school computer teacher, this form of technology that I'm starting to now understand more is definitely something I would like to use and share with my students. To that end, I found a great resource article about a project that was done at Penn State University. PSU is near and dear to my heart, as I graduated from this great university in 1989. There is a program that introduced students during a 5-week summer course to using blogs, podcasts and so forth. I was pleasantly surprised and of course, very encouraged, by what I found through reading this article. Take a look at the link below. It even contains audio tutorials that the students were given to facilitate their process and progress. This gives me incentive to work through this type of information now with my own students.
