And there's never been a better time to use media for teaching and learning. (Please go over to the Whiteboard tab to participate in this activity) 10 Years Ago... Today! Film cameras: expensive Digital cameras: free film and processing ; every imaging with unlimited reprint cost $$$! copying and sharing! (add your thoughts on how media creation and sharing has changedin the last 10 years!)
Now it's Show Time! I have a couple of cool tools you – or your students – might like to try as ways to share your images: Moblogs:a way of capturing and sharing photos using a mobile phone camera; and, if we have time... Animoto : an online site that takes a collection of your images, and turns them into a professionally-presented video show

So… Why Moblog? Instead of making notes like this: mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Your students could moblog like this:
They could share images, sounds, & videos they create… mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips So… Why Moblog? …with other learners and experts everywhere…

Here’s just one example. This is Darren. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips
Darren is studying advertising & marketing at CIT. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
This semester, he’s been asked to moblog examples of advertising and marketing that he comes across. It’s an eye opening assignment. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
For the first time, Darren walks down the street, noticing how advertising works in his own world. How advertising works on him. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
That’s just one of the many things he reflects on, in his moblog. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
His classmates have their opinions too… mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
…and of course, moblogs of their own … mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
…so there’s plenty to talk about. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
(Even before industry professionals find the moblogs, and add even more ideas.) mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Here’s just one example.
Are yougetting the picture? mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips (and there’s more than just pictures: you can also moblog with videos and sounds.)
Create & Share,Anytime & Anywhere. mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Moblogging is a way to make students reflect on howtheir area of study is part of their life generally. It can also be used as a means of documentinga specific activity, such as a creative process or an assessment. Pedagogically speaking, moblogging favours situatedand exploratory learning in a social constructivist framework.
Perhaps that’s why education everywhere is moblogging! Singapore’s educational moblogging community: http://www.campusmoblog.com.sg 14202 users. 1057 (educational) groups: (http://www.campusmoblog.com.sg/main/group_blogger.asp). Wow. Oh, sorry… only mobile-enabled for Singaporean residents. Sigh. But couldn’t we replicate this for Australian VET??? mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips
mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips A group moblog: http://ICJYS1.campusmoblog.com.sg In this moblog, a class of 13-year olds is documenting their development and production of a video on “Managing and Respecting Intellectual Property”. Wow.
mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips A group moblog: http://ICJYS1.campusmoblog.com.sg Each photo represents a file uploaded instantly from a mobile phone. These “posts” are organised with the most recent addition first. Videos as well as photos are supported. On this moblogging site, there is also a mobile-enabled chat facility. Group members can chat using either their web browsers or their mobile phones.
Yes, moblogging is cool. Everyone’s going mobile. Sites you probably already know and use – sites that used to be “web based” - are now offering mobile services which effectively make them moblogs… Sites like these: mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips
mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Yes, (for example), flickr. It’s a moblog. • The picture-sharing Web 2.0 site, flickr, is a blogging tool. Each “photo blog,” collects and displays picture entries in reverse chronological order. • It’s also mobile-capable - you can upload pictures directly from your mobile device.
mb-etoolsntips-mb@moblg.net > http://moblog.co.uk/blog/etoolsntips Mobile flickr. You can upload photos to flickr from your mobile phone: • Using simple e-mail. Each account has a unique email address for uploading photos to it, and most mobile phones can send emails. • Using the mobile web version of flickr, located at http://m.flickr.com • Using a photo uploader program which can be installed on most phones.
