Podcasts
Now were are in the business of taking the blog from text to audio - this is called a podcast. Some of you have created your audio files and sent them to me. If so, I posted them on a hosting site and linked them to this blog. Now the Technology in Kinesiology blog is actually a podcast.
Once you have created your mp3 file please either post it in Blackboard on the Discussion Board or send it to me as an attachment on email (Scott_Sailor@csufresno.edu). I will then post it to our blog so you can check out each other's podcasts.
Have fun!

What is the address of your blog?
Sorry. As you can see with Blogger now that you have your own accounts, you can create a draft of a post and not publish it. I thought I had posted this already but didn't. Many of you improvised and submitted your blog address on a previous post. Thanks. If you have not yet provided your address to me (you can tell if you have because if you have I put you in the class blogroll to the right) you can post it here. Take care.

Great Blogs!
I am very impressed by the blogs being created by this class. Blogging is not for everyone but it is a tool that is becoming very popular. Many of the talk radio shows, etc. are looking to the blogosphere for breaking news rather than the traditional media (newspapers, tv). A couple things that make blogs so powerful is the ability to "publish" news in small short bytes at any point in time. This allows you to get information out quickly, not having to wait until the next newspaper is published, etc. This also allows you to be the author of the news. Sometimes this is referred to as a spin doctor. It is powerful to be in control of, at least a portion, of what is being said about a topic. You might not continue as a blogger regularly but you at least see how this tool can be used. You should also search out some blogs on topics you are interested in. Technorati is a good place to start your search. Take care.

Technology I have used recently in my job
I would like to have a running theme going with this blog as the weeks go on. I would like to hear from you what types of technology you use in the field of Kinesiology. I imagine some will be closely related and some will be just things we happen to learn to do to make our jobs easier.
I will start - Seldom a day goes by that I am not glad I learned to use "Mail Merge" in Microsoft Word from and Excel Spreadsheet. I have found this to be very useful. I realized a few years back that I would be repeatedly communicating with some of the same groups of people. Mail merge has allowed me to create a "database" of names, grades, etc. once and then reuse it over and over and over again.
At this point when I realize I am going to work with a list of things and I might need to use it more than once (e.g., on a letter and on an envelope) I start by creating a spreadsheet to contain the information. Once I have the names, addresses, grades, etc. in the spreadsheet I can generate "personalized" letters, envelopes, emails, labels, etc. This proves to be a hugh timesaver. I would love to have my office staff perform this function but I am not sure they grasp the concept at this point.
Post a comment and let me know about a technology that enhances or frustrates your daily operations.
