Moblogs
Moblogs - mobileblogs - are blogs with photos taken and sent by mobile phones to dedicated websites. Much of their use has been fairly trivial and this technology has only appeared in the public arena in the last two years, although some educational projects are being trialled25.
Vlogs
Vlogs30- videoblogs - are closely related to moblogs in that videophones can be used to post content, but some videoblogs have much higher production values and take far more time to produce using digital video cameras and complex post-production techniques This is still very much a fringe activity in education, but new software and web sen/ices are making it increasingly easier".
Podcasts
Podcasting - audio broadcasting over the web - is probably the best known of these emerging technologies. It gets its name from the combination of iPod and broadcasting. Podcasting technologies have been around for some years, but only recently has the delivery mechanism of RSS made it possible to broadcast audio both to wider and more specialised interest groups. Podcasts in the UK education sector are still emerging and are usually highly localised. Many traditional uses of audio in education become far more effective via this mechanism. Students can broadcast audio diaries, commentaries and outcomes of writing for an audience or construct entirely new interactive learning experiences never before possible32. Teachers can broadcast lectures, course notes and interviews with authors and other experts33.
