Two Fold cool WEB Tools are:
After spending three weeks on the road in rural America (Montana), I came to realize just how limited in our ability to communicate.
I spent the last two weeks persched on top of a John Deere Combine cutting wheat in Idaho. During this wonderful experience, of being located one hour outside town with no WIFI or High Speed connnection, it prooved to be very enlightening. I missed conference calls and the standard Saturday moring Second life log in. I found myself sitting in a lawn chair outside of a grocery store in Billings Montana attempting to log in. I eventually loged in and found myself listening to a graphic conversation of musical artist. The gist of the conversation consisted of curseing and racial slurs being cast about like droplets of water from the shaking of a dog after a bath. The experience was not particulary educational but proved to be an experience.
It became obvious to several participants that I did not belong in their group. I did not engage in the conversation but out of couriosity, I listened. What I thought was a friendly gesture, was in fact a devistating gift from one of the participants. Yep, a major virus. My entire world at that time came crashing down when I opened my computer the next time. Lets just say that I hate the Zero Virus. I also became acquainted with Isass.exe problems. What a joy. Not

So my cool Web 2.0 tool is two fold
The element of using the WEB 2.0 or pod casting in the education field is growing at a quantum speed. The particular feed that I have provided was proctored by Mr. Jonah Bossewitch on October 17, 2008. He is responsible for the New Media Education 2008 at the Columbia University. This presentation was given as a introduction into participatory media and ideas of how to effectively use this Web2.0 tool and is mainly geared toward giving participants a write able medium for learning and collaboration. There are various methods of collaboration such as teamwork, group work, pier production and distributive research currently being used in education today.
Outside of the world of education in the world at large our economy is transitioning from consumers to producers. The major motivation for the development of this RSS medium is networking. Business operating in today's society need to learn how to appreciate the network as an effective method for communication of relevant tasks. RSS allows for a more effective and substantive method of information delivery thus enhancing the ideas of creating, publishing and sharing. Elements essential to usage of this PodCast or RSS tool attempts to solidify the variables of Aggregating, Filtering and Networking of information in order to teach. One important element conveyed was the cultural imperative aspect contained within the Pod Cast delivery.
Other medium for the accumulation of data is from such sources as NME, Crowdvine, and WIKI Feeds. In understanding these applications, they all use what is referred to as RSS feeds. RSS = Really Simple Syndication. Other indications of this type of medium has been call speed feeds and are represented on the videos as either Orange boxes or the XML logo. The underlying reason for this is the Exposing of data out of the RSS format in a standard transparent medium to push and pull of information across the Internet. Using these sets of tools such as wiki's and Blogs are paramount to creating efficiency's in communication. Historically, we see the communications mediums do not die, they are just transformed into more efficient methods. They just keep evolving. The major abilities of this technologies in education allows for students to catch up on assignments was discussed and the use allows us to experiment in education. Micro community. In education the privacy issue of using such mediums has become paramount and has been heightened by recent events in the new.. Exposing the kids to the internet dangers shows recklessness and is dangerous. One of the major players is Flicker which is owned by Yahoo. Areas of concern is how to exhibit millions of pictures that currently reside on their system. The usage of GEO tags and the authentication process is limited to Social Honesty
Significant benefits shows that work done in the open and virtually eliminates the accusation of plagiarism and educational dishonesty. Work within the Ivory tower of education shows that usage of RSS promotes participatory learning and takes advantage of the ability to match up students with mentors. As the methodologies further evolve, it will increase our ability to communicate with each other.
