I am going to a local workshop on blogs, wikis and pod casts for use with students next week. I plan to use them in my AP Art History class and in my advanced art class. My first choice is to post a painting and have my students blog about the unknown (to them) image to see if they can ID it, do some reference work (become art detectives) and write a wiki about the work. I have had only 1 experience with generating a podcast with a video, where I made a first of a planned series of podcasts on Baroque art accompanied with images. My intent for the podcasts was to have my students listen to them in preparation of going to a museum to see the actual paintings. I am sure at the workshop, I will be introduced to other applications, and will share them with you after the workshop.
