The three major elements of Web 2.0 that will be explored are blogs, wikis and podcasts. We will make use of the iLife '08 suite to briefly demonstrate the importance of compressing files down to suitable sizes for sharing over the Internet. At the end of the workshop you will have created a blog using wordpress, manipulated the theme and design of your online journal and created links to a range of other Web 2.0 tools. We will visit a number of creative common sites where you can now safely download music, video and audio files for use in your class projects. This is a particularly important when wanting to publish student projects on the Internet without breaching copyright.
