Welcome to the Human Zoo

Greetings Sociologists - Welcome to the 21st Century classroom. Over the past two years I have been exploring the effectiveness of Web 2.0 tools (blogs. podcasts, and wikis) to create a vibrant and collaborative curriculum in Sociology. During your semester as a student in my Sociology class you will also be expreimenting with these exciting new tools

What is a BLOG?
A blog is a web journal. Our class blog contains ideas, pictures, news items and general thoughts from students enrolled in the Ballston Spa Sociology elective: The Human Zoo Blog

What is a PODCAST?
A podcast is an audio program made available to listeners via the Internet or through a subscription service like i-Tunes. Our class podcast can be heard directly though the Internet or by download to an MP3 player. Our audio files will be loaded soon :)

What is a WIKI?
A wiki, simply stated, is a webpage with an edit button. Our class wiki will serve as a collaborative workspace for our study of key sociologists, Culture, as well as Sport and Society. www.sociology2008.pbwiki.com
