On Thursday June 23 I attended the Emerging Technologies Conference held at The University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. This conference was a part of the Partnership for the Advancement of Distributed Learning program at the University. This workshop covered several of the newer technologies that are being used by faculty in the classroom. These technologies include blogs, vlogs, podcasting, rss feeds, news aggregators and exposure to several different types of portable devices such as iPods, PDAs and Blackberry devices. This podcast discusses some of the information and ideas that were presented and how these technologies might be employed in the mobile classroom.
