Welcome to Computer Applications in Business Education blog. My name is Matias Marabotto and I am a graduate student at the University of West Georgia. I created this blog as an assignment for my ABED 6107 Instructional Strategies of Technology course, taught by Dr Sunil Hazari. I believe that the knowledge and effective use of computer applications such this one, weblogs, is a great way to learn, communicate and collaborate. I plan to share computer applications and technologies that can be implemented in Business Education. I will be posting soon a tutorial with easy steps on how to create a PowerPoint document and how to narrate the slides. In addition, I will also show how to use iSpring free, a free PowerPoint conversion tool to flash video which will enable you to upload a PowerPoint in a much more accessible format to the web as an html file. Having the opportunity to upload your original PowerPoint as an html file, you would be able to connect with your audience asynchronously.
Let me tell you a little bit about the layout of this blog. I added a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed on the right column of the blog from Will Richardson’s blog (http://willrichardson.com/) Furthermore, Will Richardson is the author of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms, which is our main book for our ABED-6107 class. Also, I added a RSS feed from Jane’s eLearning Pick of the Day, which is a great resource and it is always good to see what she has to say.
On the footer of the blog, I have a poll for the visitors, and I also have an RSS feed for each of my classmate’s blogs. Where I can see and follow what are their new posts in their great Blogs.

Matias, I look forward to following your blog so I can learn more about these great applications. Soemtimes people need a little push to start using applications and with some simple How Tos they are off and running.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
Matias, I am also looking forward to reading your blog. Seeing as I am not the most technical teacher out there, this class and your blog will help me to incorporate more technology into my lessons. I also like how you set up the twitter feed. Very impressed with your blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Matias! Love the RSS feed of Will Richardson. Can't wait to see all the different computer applications and tutorials you will post. There are so many different things to use with such applications with Powerpoint such as iSpring free, which a good portion of people are unfamiliar with. Anyways, looking forward to everything you will post!
