Introduction to ET4Educators

Welcome to ET4Educators. A blog where you will find new, exciting, and cheap Emerging Technologies. Each week different Emerging Technologies will be spot-lighted. The weekly blog will contain the ET internet address, reviews of the ET, ideas for use of the ET in educational settings, and links as available.

My name is Bill Burkett and I am a Faculty Chair for the Undergrad IT Department at Capella University. Joe Johnson, Core Faculty, Capella Univeristy, will be joining me as co-editor of ET4Educators. Joe loves working with audio and video equipment and introduces elements of this into his courses. So with that in mind - Joe will be handling this portion of the ET and I will be looking at software and iternet solutions. Join us in this exciting look into Emerging Technologies. Better yet jump in - give us your two cents worth - agree / disagree / add to the knowledge base.

Be sure you join the Association of Virtual Worlds at http://www.associationofvirtualworlds.com/index.htm and obtain the free 'The Blue Book: A Consumer Guide to Virtual Worlds' at http://www.associationofvirtualworlds.com/publishing.htm


See the Index at the top of the page for planned reviews.

If you have a favorite ET you would like to include, review, or ask about. This is the place to join in. Leave your comments and lets make this a usable academic blog.



Thanks,



Bill Burkett, Faculty Chair, IT/SoUS
