Audio and Visual Journals

While I’ve tried to get myself blogging more often (I’ve got a backlog of blog posts from a conference this past weekend...coming to you sometime this weekend), I’m also testing out other “journaling” methods related to the various projects I’ve got going. First, I’ve been trying to play with simple podcasting, using Gabcast, as a way to journal my activities for our new technology Faculty and Professional Learning FPLC. 

I had this brainstorm the other night as I was crazily putting together a course about web-based teaching and learning...a visual journal using one of the online image repositories. I guess this isn’t that “new” of an idea; in fact, I’m sure it came to my mind as Alan Levine‘s ”50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story” bounced around in my head. So as I’m writing this I’m sending out a THANKS to Alan!

Here is the start of my visual journal about teaching a class of teachers about teaching in web-based environments (say that ten times fast). And if you want to see the captions and comments, or subscribe to the RSS feed, visit my visual journal.
