Episode 32
Quick episode, but we have so much to share that we have to get this out to you (that and we haven’t posted in a while! sorry!). We’re at Tech Forum 2007 in Round Rock, TX, learning with some great speakers which you’ll hear more about later.

Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It is about that social network, but it’s also about learning. We’re amazed at all the little “twitbits” that pop up in conversations with people we follow. Feel free to follow us as we explore this tool (digimom and techchick94).

This is a cool online tool that allows you to import images, documents, and videos and then add voice to it to have collaborative conversations.

Another online tool that allows you to create quick video clips that can be shared from the flixn website. All that is needed is a free login, a webcam, and you’re ready to go!

I cant the podcast I need it for an assignment on Monday? Where is the podcast, I have tried every button and all I get are the resources!

If you go to the podcast page, linked at the top, in the very first paragraph there are a number of “click here” links to subscribe to the podcast in different ways. Let me know if that doesn’t help.
I cannot find a specific podcast either. I need mine for Monday. Is it for Westervelt’s class?
@Darcy: We are not sure what this means–can you be more specific? The techchicks
These ladies are looking for a specific podcast (#32) for an assignment for a graduate class. They need directions for listening to the podcast.
@CJ: You can subscribe to the podcast and then download that episode. Or you can click the little right pointing arrow at the bottom of the blog entry and it will play that episode through your web browser.
