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.

http://twitter.com
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).

http://voicethread.com/
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.

http://flixn.com/
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!

OER Commons is a teaching and learning network, from K-12 lesson plans to college courseware, from algebra to zoology, open to everyone to use and add to.

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.
