An Update about edZone: Tools for Today's Classroom

At the 48th Annual California Educational Technology Professionals Association Conference, the K12 High-Speed Network provided an update about their edZone. The purpose for this project is to provide a “trusted community” of Web 2.0 tools available only to a verified K-12 employee network. Since I first blogged about edZone, they have provided blog hosting, podcast hosting, video hosting, photo hosting, and document hosting. At the conference they unveiled their wiki engine. They are planning to create their own messaging (instating messaging and edZone community email) and social networking services. The presentation mentioned that the third-party application Moodle will be available to educators within the next few weeks. This Moodle installation will develop as users and the K-12 High-Speed Network discover how it is being used by classrooms. edZone also offers an Asset Tag system to assist educational technology professionals and teachers with inventory management. It was also mentioned during the presentation that edZone will be creating a web page creation/editing tool for teachers to create their own web sites with static content.

Unfortunately, the feature that I am looking for is still “coming soon,” student accounts. Without student accounts, students cannot blog, or even comment on blogs, at edZone. Apparently, this applies to the newly released wiki tool too. Until student accounts are created, students are not able to participate in edZone wikis. Teachers with verified accounts at the edZone can post student-created podcasts, documents, etc. Seed of Chucky video The Brothers Bloom movie

Even if the podcast was uploaded as an enhanced podcast. The presentation mentioned that edZone will be creating a flash player for podcasts, so that enhanced podcasts will play at edZone. In addition, edZone will support listing podcasts at iTunes in the future.
