[LM_NET] TARGET: Podcasting, Blogs, Instruction in College?

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

I'm working on a project for my incoming high school freshmen and was
curious if there were any college courses (aside from the tech courses) that
are now providing instruction in podcasting, blogging, etc., as a part of
the curriculum?  My job is to prepare our students to what they might see
once they reach college, and each year I find that the students are more
likely to be aware of the product / technology (which makes it easier and
more fun to teach), while their classroom teachers stare in wonderment at
what we are doing....this year, I think I'll also be preparing information
to teach their teachers.

I know many LIS graduate courses have been teaching PowerPoint, equipment
usage, HTML and "the Internet" since the mid '90's and I'm assuming that
many education courses are also incorporating these types of technology
instruction into their coursework; however, as technology advances and more
pieces of equipment are introduced to the field, are future teachers and
librarians being taught how to use these technologies AND apply them in
their regular course instruction or is this more "on the job training" for
educators?

If you're involved in a graduate class (or are teaching a course) that uses
a new technology (either online or via a piece of equipment), would you let
me know?

Thanks!
