These short session podcasts produced for the Consumer
Electronics Show feature mostly interviews with executives in the digital media
industry. The sessions are up to 10 minutes long and cover a time period in
2009. They reported lots of new podcasts coming for 2010, but have not produced
any since. These podcasts cover how digital media content will be used, sorts
out truth and fiction of media hype, and strategies for turning a profit, as
well as the platforms they may be distributed on. I picked Up Next at CES
podcasts because they were a featured item on Podcast Alley.

Buzz Out Loud
This website is connected with CNET and covers newer and upcoming technologies. Buzz Out Loud has produced over 1500 podcasts, but came to an end in April, 2012. With podcasts at just over 30 minutes in length, they covered a variety of topics in the world of technology. Podcast participants included CNET's top experts among the crew where all would participate in analyzing, interpreting and even arguing about what new technology meant to the world. I picked this podcast because it was in the top of the featured list and out of curiosity for the podcast title without looking at the genre.

To join a discussion of Web 2.0 and how it is transforming wikis, check out my personal wiki, WW-Wiki, at http://ww-wiki.wikispaces.com/ .

Why not wikis
This short discussion covered ways in which wikis can be used to benefit education. Most participants were teachers with wikis set up for purposes of the classroom and teachers wanting to set up wikis for the classroom. Some resources within this wiki are links that show examples of how teachers are using wikis in the classroom and free educational wikispaces. Part of the forum addressed the acceptance of wikis by parents and appropriate use of editing wikis by students.

The Essential Shift
The video "Did You Know?" was pretty much the inspiration for this forum discussion. For the most part, what needed to be examined to plan for the future in shifting times was all that ended up being discussed, without anyone producing a starting point. There weren't many members in the discussion and the conversation didn't last long. There haven't been any posts to this wiki since 2009.

Delicious
I've heard of this site before, but didn't really pay attention to what it was. It is a social bookmarking site where links can be stored and/or shared with the public. You can start a network of your own, add people to your network and be added to the networks of others. There are advantages, as well as disadvantages to this. Some advantages would be having all your bookmarks stored in one location that is accessible from anywhere you have an Internet connection, staying current with issues of interest to you, and being a part of a collection of people with similar interests. A distinct disadvantage could be that your link history is available to the public and can be monitored by anyone. I would have to give more thought to come up with other disadvantages. This one seemed to be the first thing that stood out to me. You may not want others following your activity. Cyber stalker comes to mind. Actually, I think this is a great save. It is convenient to store your links and a perfect way to share them with others. It has the social aspect, you can follow friends and colleague's findings on points of interest, or just see what they're interested in.
