Podcast Reflection #7 - Moving at the Speed of Creativity-Using iWeb for Blogging & Publishing

This podcast teaches you how to get started using iWeb for blogging and publishing.  iWeb lets you choose from many different themes.  You will have six sites to choose from, for example, the Blog page.  You can rename your folders, add new pages, and add new entries to any of your named folders that you have created.  This will create several pages to each of your folders.  As I have learned in my Teaching Educational Technology class, there are many different things that you can do with the iWeb application.  You can create links to different websites, write reflections and post from the different podcasts (three types-audio only, enhanced, and video) that you listened to, add photos, videos, widgets, digital stories, avatars, iMovies, photobooth podcasts, lesson plans, a Google presentation which is similar to a PowerPoint, and a voice thread project.  I am sure there are more creative things that you can do with iWeb, which I am eager and willing to learn throughout my journey of becoming a teacher.
Teachers can use the iWeb application to create a blog and share the content which they have created or put in to the iLife applications, such as, iPhoto, Garage band, and iMovie.  They can share with either a global or local audience with or without being password protected.  Podcasting and blogging enables us to share our information online and lets us fundamentally address the students’ perceptions about our teaching and writing.
