Mobile Learning

I’ve just found a new Web 2.0 application that allows users to manipulate RSS feeds in a number of very useful ways.

XFruits allows users to aggregate a number of feeds into a single RSS feed; convert an RSS feed to an XHTML 1.0 Strict web page; create a mobile browser version of an RSS feed; convert emails to an xfruits email address to an RSS feed; and convert an RSS feed to a PDF file – which can be read on a mobile device. The tool is easy to use and very well polished.

I’ve used XFruits to create a mobile web version of this blog, as well as a downloadable PDF version of this blog. Both are accessible on a new page, http://mlearning.edublogs.org/mobile/.

When is a podcast not just a podcast? That’s not a riddle… podcasts can be used as a medium for a number of research and learning activities. The Moving at the Speed of Creativity blog just published this great list of some podcasting activity ideas and suggestions.

One of the comments for this post also recommends the KidCast (Podcasting in the Classroom) site, with even more ideas for podcasting in education, as well as an online community.
