Comment on Live Talk Show- You Are Invited!- First Episode of Transformation Ed Podcast

Dr. King
I enjoyed listening to this podcast and learning about the different categories of participation on the web. What I found particularly interesting was your analysis about the difference between traditional libraries and what we’ve got on the web. The data that was revealed in the report with podcasting and blogging shows that people are using the web as a place not only to browse, but a place where one can create and participate with their own information. Agreed - this is true participation and a tremendous improvement from traditional libraries. Thanks!

I am new to the ipod world but I have had this happen where my ipod dies too quickly. I'd like to look further into this ipod battery idea. Thanks!

Comment on Relaxation and Technology: Oxymoron or Nirvana?

Sharon Burr — 2008-11-01T21:54:00Z

Hi Dr. King!

Anyway...I think Technology and Relaxation, used together, is DEFINITELY an oxymoron! Nirvana...not so much!

Beyond the timeliness of the topic and the format in which it is delivered, I love that the website can be translated by simply clicking your preferred language. Imagine being able to conduct or deliver your content without worrying about a language barrier. Star Trek's Universal Translator - here we come!

Dr. King,
With more and more brick and mortar colleges seeing the benefits of online learning, do you think we will see a decline in for profit virtual colleges?

Since I don't want any of our listeners to get discouraged when they want to check out Wild Divine's Biofeedback and Stress Relief website, I wanted to correct the URL. To visit Wild Divine, just go to http://www.wilddivine.com. Hey, maybe we can get an interview, huh, Kathy?

I really enjoyed the presentation for the K-12 teachers by Dr. Todd. I think she made podcasting with students seem less daunting and more accessible. I know it's something I would love to learn more about and do with my students in the future. She made it seem like podcasting with students was actually possible, especially that she was doing it with middle school students, who can sometimes be difficult to work with.
