Virtual Blogs and Other Web Applications

A new virtual workshop on Blogs and Other Web Applications has been posted for users. While the workshop is not full finished, most of the content has been placed in a virtual format, there is no charge for the workshop as it is part of the Kentucky Information Technology Center (KITCenter) offerings. The complete sequence is finished, additional video files will be posted showing the actual steps being preformed, as well as audio podcasting.

For information on how to access the workshop material please contact Tammy.mccollum@kctcs.edu. If you would like to see other virtual workshops produced as part of the KITCenter project, Tammy can assist you with these. Currently workshops are completed in the areas of educational technologies and GIS.

The content of this workshop includes, Accumulators/Aggregators, Blogs, Picture Storage, Mashup, Groups, and Open Applications. The content is presented in multiple formats and shows examples on how to create what is being discussed. The formats include Web, Producer Video, pdf slides to download, streaming video and podcasts (iPod and Zune formats).

The virtual workshop is planned to have Camtasia video available in the near future, in which you can watch the instructor actually creating all of the content. In addition audio only podcasts are planned, but you will need to have slides downloaded or be viewing the website.
