EdTechMag.com recently published an article on podcasting in schools. They quoted me several times, including this one:

“Fresh is Best!”

When talking about the importance in keeping podcasts published. Just like a blog, old content stinks of staleness. It’s important to establish a podcast, but keep the episodes coming!

Tonight I completed part II of my digital portfolios class at work. In years past, we’ve generated an interactive PowerPoint or Keynote Presentation. This time around, they wanted to try blogs.

First, I set up an example. I think using blog posts as individual artifact holders makes a lot of sense, and if your portfolio has domains (as ours do), you can use blog categories.

I think one of the benefits of this procedure is that your portfolio can be interactive! Yes, you can solicit comments from others. Not a bad thing. And individual pages in our WordPress-powered blogs can be used for more static content, like resumés, references, or awards.

I recently found a new product from a company called “Drobo,” called the drobo. It’s like a RAID enclosure for 4 SATA drives–for both Macs and PCs.

They call it a “robot,” something intelligent enough to re-format new drives, and keep data integrity when one drive goes south.

The demo says it all. If it works as good as they show, I’d hope to get one some day.
