New SpringWidget

If you have signed up for an RSS feed of your favorite blog and would like to post a reader in your eLearn course or personal webpage you can with a SpringWidget reader. It's free and the directions for embedding this widget is very easy. Maybe you'd like to add a RSS reader that the students could use to subscribe to your blog. That can be done too. I was turned onto this web 2.0 tool by Adam Beavers. Well, actually he was researching Pecha Kucha Night and sent me a link to Michele Martin's blog entree on Pecha Kucha. If you like her blog you can subscribe to it with a SpringWidget. She is a ten year devotee to sharing social media tools (web 2.0). She authors, "The Bamboo Project: Career Development, Technology and Learning Strategies for LifeLong Personal and Professional Growth." I've subscribed to her blog below. I think she has some good ideas for enhancing eLearn/eLive courses and using web 2.0 tools to create innovated learning objects. I also like her idea of showcasing faculty projects and student presentations using the Pecha Kucha presentation style.
