Lynn Marentette's blogs in podcast format, via Odiogo

Human-World Interaction, Multimedia, and Emerging Technologies

My HASTAC blog serves as a portal to three regularly-maintained blogs, where I share information, resources, and links that fall roughly into the following categories:

 

Technology-Supported Human-World Interaction: The posts on this blog reflect what I've been discovering during my mid-life return to higher-education studies. The topics in this blog include technologies that support human-world interaction on and off the desktop: ubiquitous and pervasive computing, human-computer-interaction, collaborative technologies, info-viz, usability, and interaction design. I sometimes post examples of things I've nominated for the "usability hall of shame".

Interactive Multimedia Technology: This blog focuses on topics such as games in education, serious games, interactive multimedia applications for prevention and intervention, such as health promotion, stress management, and mental health, and exploring new ways that interactive multimedia can support efficiency in learning, cognition, and communication. This includes multi-touch technology on displays of all sizes.

TechPsych: The posts on this blog are geared for psychologists, special educators, media specialists, educational technologists, teachers, speech and language therapists, and others who work in education or related fields. I look at ways that technology can be used to support important efforts in the schools, such as Universal Design for Learning, Response to Intervention, Positive Behavior Supports, and health promotion. I also touch on assistive technology, the use of technology in psychology, counseling, and related fields.

This should be great for those of you who like to listen to podcasts. Odiogo uses a nearly-human sounding speech system. What you'll hear is a male voice. I guess I should find out if the settings can be changed!

 

Update: I still haven't found out how to change the settings.

The beauty of Web 2.0!

Cathy,

I'm glad we've had the opportunity to share information. I'd like to see your chapter when you have it completed.

We live in the "Information Age", but it is increasingly difficult to keep up and manage everything we'd like to know using traditional methods.

Three to four years ago, I relied on half-read journals, handouts from conferences, print-outs from on-line articles, and trips to the library to find what I needed. My home file cabinet was ready to explode.

I couldn't find what I was looking for half of the time. You really can't do a quick "search" through a file cabinet, even if it is half-way organized.

Now my blogs are my file cabinets, and I don't mind sharing them.

 

With Web 2.0, there

Please take a moment and visit my other blogs!

Great resources, Lynn. Thank you!

Hi, Lynn, Thanks so much for this. I happen this morning (despite having just written another too-long blog entry on epublishing) to be working on my chapter for Ways of Knowing on high school drop outs, incarceration rates in the U.S., NCLB, and other factors. Your TechPsych blog is an invaluable resource and is leading me all over to some resources I'd missed. Thank you!
