2. Four ways to communication with technology:
• Blogs
• SlideShare
• Podcast
• Vodcast
Each method has its own strengths and
weaknesses—let’s review each of them . . .
3. BLOGGING:
• create your niche
• write your message
• include comments from others
• add visual/audio from any source
• link to additional resources
• no audio or video equipment
needed
5. SlideShare lets you use:
• written information
• your visuals to tell the story
• pictures that evoke emotions
But there is no
• linking to additional resources
• feedback or comments from viewers
6. Podcast are only audio. You can
• personalize with your voice
• create word pictures
• add music and sound effects
• invites guests or experts
Podcasts are not a good choice for
• technical information
• visual information
• teaching a new skill like cooking, crafts or
sports
7. Vodcasts combine the best features of all the
other methods.
You can
• using body language
• add samples of music
• use pictures, text,
• structure your message
• shoot from any location
• include interviews from experts
8. Vodcasts are great for:
• teaching/learning new skills, cooking, sports
• sharing technical information
• using body language in your message
9. In this class, I tried to
learned how to use all of
these programs.
Most important, I learned
that it is very, very difficult
for me. Even with a great
instructor, I really struggled
to learn the programs. The
new technology is
challenging, and I struggle
to understand it.
10. It is my personal goal to improve my novice skills
so I feel some level of competency.
At this point, I am just confused and frustrated.
11. I’ll conclude with this resolution:
I need to spend hours and hours using
these programs to learn them.
They are great tools, and I will work with
them until I can use them right.
