RSS productivity

RSS feeds are a really good idea. I set up a few in Web 2.0 through Bloglines but have hardly been back to read them at all. I went through a few tonight and enjoyed them. So they are great when you have the time...I investigated the Feed Rinse filter- the spam filter for RSS feeds and if I ever get the chance to use the RSS feeds regularly would definitely set it up. I thought being able to share RSS feeds was very practical, for work and leisure feeds. Maybe when I retire! Learnerplater

Slideshows, screencasting and digital storytelling

The online sharing of slideshow presentations is a great idea. It would be very handy to go to a conference or training seminar, then be able to view or refer to the presentation at a later date, show or explain it to work colleagues. The possibilities are endless really.
Screencasting is an exciting tool to find out about! It would be so useful to make demonstration presentations for training purposes. The Screentoaster demo explained the process well. See the www.screentoaster.com website.
The digital storytelling was interesting too.
Unfortunately, my bandwidth gets a bit frustrating trying to view the presentations and stories- long downloads and buffering interruptions. Learnerplater.
