In this course, you’ll learn how to create, manage, and promote your own blog, wiki, and audio and video podcast. Each of these amazing Web 2.0 tools gives us a chance to interact, share ideas, and collaborate with others from home, at work, or in a classroom.You’ll begin by developing a plan for the content, setup, and long-term maintenance of a blog, and then you’ll use free blogging software to put that plan into action. Next, you’ll discover how you can use wikis to facilitate group collaboration. You’ll practice editing a wiki, and then you’ll create your own. After that, you’ll learn how to record a professional-sounding audio podcast with a very simple recording tool you already have. You’ll edit the file with another free software program, add music to it, and then post it online for others to enjoy. Finally, you’ll find out how to record a video podcast. You’ll use pre-recorded video to learn the editing process, and then you’ll apply what you’ve learned to your own video file. You’ll edit it, add special effects, drop in a podcasting-safe music file, and then publish it online.
Through hands-on exercises, you’ll discover the benefits of using free Web 2.0 tools like Blogger, Wikispaces, Audacity, and YouTube. Guided by an expert instructor, you’ll find that creating Web 2.0 tools is much easier than you ever imagined. And by the end of this course, you’ll be amazed how much you’ve accomplished.
Whether you want to use Web 2.0 tools for personal, business, or educational projects, this is the course for you!
