- This Is the Closest You Will Ever Get to Fly Hanging From an Helicopter [Video] – January 24, 2011 – Very cool interactive video. I like this a lot better than simply having 3-d, although 3-d would make this extremely immersive.

- Vid.ly Makes Streaming Video Work on Any Device – January 24, 2011 – It seems so odd that we still have to deal with format problems, but this site might make your video podcasting life a little easier. I am checking it out today.
- Facebook Fan Page Notifications With Hyper Alerts Free App! | MariSmith.com – January 21, 2011 – This service fits in with my typical workflow of using notifications to know when people want to interact with me on services that I don’t use that often or services that aren’t my “home base”. Great way to keep an eye on things without having to check manually.

- Precorder – January 18, 2011 – At $2.99 this is not a “must buy” for me, but I have similar audio app called Epiphany that constantly records and then saves 1-2 min clips when you press the “Remember That” button. Very cool when you having a conversation with someone and they come up with a cool idea.

New Media’s Fundamental Place in e-Learning from LearningSolutions.com
This article recently appeared on LearningSolutions.com in advance of my presentation in their Online Forums. — Douglas
New Media’s Fundamental Place in e-Learning
By Douglas E. Welch September 30, 2010“One of the most striking aspects of New Media is how much you can do inexpensively, even for free. As you move forward you might invest in larger, more robust systems, but investigating New Media often requires little more than access to the Internet. … There are very few financial excuses for not investigating how New Media can help your department or company.”
Like the technologies that preceded it – print, radio, television – New Media is set to change our lives and our learning in fundamental ways. Never before have we had such a great variety of educational tools at our disposal so inexpensively and so widely available. We can reach out to our customers, clients, and students almost anywhere in the world with the touch of button.
New Media consists of four pillars:
Online video sharing sites, such as YouTube,
Podcasting , which allows the automatic delivery of audio and video to listeners and viewers,
Live video streaming, such as uStream.tv and Justin.tv, and
Social media, that is, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and other such services.
All of these together form New Media – new ways of delivering information and interacting with our audience, whoever or wherever they might be.
As with any new technology, inertia and fear threaten to limit our use of these tools. We spend months and years evaluating, analyzing and investigating, but end up doing very little. As with other educational tools, you must engage with New Media to find its usefulness to you and your students.

- It's Not About What You Do, But Why You Do It [Video] – September 27, 2010 – Not enough people ask that all important question, “Why?” We see it every day. People doing the same thing over and over even though it is no longer useful or even advised. Adding this video to my “To Watch” queue.
- Where Good Ideas Come From – September 23, 2010 – An excellent talk on creativity combined with a simultaneous mind map video to reinforce the ideas being discussed. This is a great way of illustrating ideas instead of just watching the presenter present their topic. It really adds value to the process.

Sometimes there is nothing like showing your screen to someone and letting them watch what you do. One picture is truly worth a 1000 words.
- Geofence Your Friends With Footprint Feed – September 17, 2010 – This is an interesting add-on to location based tracking. I have turned it on for myself only at this point, just to see how it works and what type of value it can provide. It uses Google Latitude as its base. Unfortunately, on the iPhone, it does not run in the background so it will still require me to check-in to update my feed.
