Mashups

Is there no end to the toys you can play with - this is just another one which has its uses but I'm getting a bit tired of all the new tools- mashups are useful in livening up a web page or blog but I don't think I would use them in everyday applications. Ok maybe that's a bit harsh, I did enjoy Keir Clarke's starviewer. Here is a map of the places I've been to and I wish I could afford to go to more!

Podcasts etc

This was one of the few words I recognised in the intial survey for this course but I have to admit I didn't understand how useful podcasts could be until I explored a few! These would be good for staff training, guest authors, reading sections of favourite books or latest releases to get kids interested, the list goes on. I wish there were podcasts when I undertook distance education - it would be much better to listen or watch video rather than reading the texts!
