IgniteCast – Create and Embed Multimedia Presentations | Mark Brumley | Let's Learn IT: New Media & Web 2.0 | Scoop.it

I’m not sure why it took me so long to discover IgniteCast. This is now one of my favorite presentation composition tools.

You do have to download the application but it’s worth it. Add just about any type of media, including PowerPoint slides and arrange them in a very familiar, PowerPoint-like interface. The narration tool is excellent and is a great way to add your personality to the presentation. You can even add background music.

Or of Blogging period? - End of an Era: The Golden Age of Tech Blogging is Over

Or of Blogging period? - End of an Era: The Golden Age of Tech Blogging is Over | Let's Learn IT: New Media & Web 2.0 | Scoop.it

Jeremiah Owyang makes a number of great observations in this post that he interprets as the end of the golden era of tech blogging. I strongly recommend reading it as it's indeed hard not to see a pattern after the sale of TechCrunch, of ReadWriteWeb or the departure of Ben Parr or Marshall Kirckpatrick.

 

Is this related to Tech only or is it a larger trend? Is blogging itself - and not just tech blogging - coming to an end?I think it's fair to say that a number of these observations are valid for the whole blogosphere: lack of attention span of readers, news and content remixing, fatigue of some personal brands, emergence of new business models, etc...

 

Blogging will not disappear but new forms of expression are definitely stealing the show from blogging platforms. Curation among them.

I don't see how blogging, or some form of self publishing, can disappear in favour of content curation. Curating content is not creating content. Someone still has to write and publish the content, in whatever format they use.
gdecugis's comment, January 17, 2012 11:37 PM
You're right, Laura. And I don't think anyone is saying blogging will disappear: just that its golden era might be over. Jeremiah made that point for Tech Blogging and I was thinking it could also be true for blogging in general.

I always felt curation and creation were complementing each other and you're right: without content, there's no point in curation. But while Blogging (and creation) used to be the only and thus the dominant form of self expression, it's no longer the case: users also express themselves by remixing content, curating stories or creating virtual pinboards.
Laura Brown's comment, January 17, 2012 11:51 PM
I posted that blogging needed a big change two years ago. It has become over commercial/ marketed. It has lost most of the charm it once had. I think the new blogging will be a lot more interactive. I read about gamifying a site/ blog. It makes a lot of sense but it needs work. If every WordPress blog runs the same gamification plugin they will all be equally bland and it won't work.

The role of Twitter in Personal Learning Networks

The role of Twitter in Personal Learning Networks | Let's Learn IT: New Media & Web 2.0 | Scoop.it

This qualitative phenomenological study involving in-depth interviews with seven educators in K-12 and higher education examines the role that the microblogging service Twitter plays in the formation and development of Personal Learning Networks (PLN) among educators. A double hermeneutic data analysis shows that Twitter plays a role in the formation and development of PLNs by allowing educators to; engage in consistent and sustained dialogue with their PLN, access the collective knowledge of their PLN, amplify and promote more complex thoughts and ideas to a large audience, and expand their PLN using features unique to Twitter. This research also examines the nature of a PLN and shows that participants believe their PLN extends beyond their Twitter network to encompass both face-to-face and other ICT mediated relationships. Secondary research questions examine how Twitter differs from other social networking tools in mediating relationships within a PLN, what motivates an educator to develop a PLN, how trust is established in a PLN, what the expectations of reciprocity are within a PLN, and what is the nature of informal learning within a PLN.
