What is a podcast?
It's an easy way to receive the media you want to your personal computer or portable device, automatically.A podcast is a media file which is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers. Like 'radio', it can mean both the content and the method of syndication. The latter may also be termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of the name of Apple's portable music player, the iPod, and boradcast; a pod refers to a container of some sort and the idea of broadcasting to a container or pod correctly describes the process of podcasting.

Education and Podcasting
Podcasts enable students and teachers to share information with anyone anytime. If a student is absent, she can download the podcast of the recorded lesson. It can be a tool for teachers or administrators to communicate curriculum, assignments and other information with parents and the community. Teachers can record book talks, vocabulary or foreign language lessons, international pen pal letters (podcast pals!), music performance, interviews, debates. Podcasting can be a publishing tool for student oral presentations. Video podcasts can be used in all these ways as well.

Comment: Podcasting is again another advancement in the technology for teaching phenomena! Lessons can be recorded and be made available for download online. This is really interesting, and an unknown domain for me, so as a teacher I feel it necessary to do more research in this area.
More on the WIKI - a world of universal collaboration!
A wiki is a useful tool in the promotion of online collaborative learning.
A wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, edit and change content, typically without the need for registration. It also allows for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
A wiki enables documents to be written very collaboratively, in a simple markup language using a web browser.

The simplest online database that could possibly work.
Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.
Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.
Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.

Comment: I believe a Wiki is an interesting way to collectively create an online resource of information, that can be changed, edited and added to at any time. This could become a very useful tool in education, as all students will be able to access information from home from the one place, while also having the opportunity to make additions to help others. Collaborative learning is a signficant element that is having continuing focus in education, along with constant influences of technology, hence a Wiki is a useful and exciting way to combine these two elements.

Class Wiki address
http://docs.google.com/Edit?tab=edit&docid=ddjz64dp_0gwkpss
This is the address of the wiki we created as a class. Together we have stepped up in the world of ICT, creating a world of education the rest of the world is able to view while keeping our anonymity as individuals when we make a posting - unlike our blogs.
Please visit our class wiki! We hope you like what you see!

Moving on with ICT....the use of a Wiki as a collaborative tool

This site is an example of a wiki. A wiki is a a document on the internet that can be publicly accessed by everyone, with anyone able to contribute. There are usually different postings mades by different people. Questions of reliability of information arise when everyone is able to contribute. Also when postings are made anonymous, it becomes unclear whether the information given is from a valuable and reliable source. It is a document stored on a server which is formed by a group of people, which can be changed, edited and added to at anytime.
It is a development from basic ICT processes such as email for the transferring of information. Wiki's are a from of E-learning at level 2.0, which has increased from the 1.0 level. This could be a fairly valuable tool for students, as it is online communication of information and lesson content, it is easily accessed from home and all students can have a say.
