Resources for using instructional technologies for educational applications.

	Blogs - A blog (a.k.a., "web log") is an online collection of personal commentary and links. Blogs can be viewed as online journals to which others can respond. 1

	Video and Audio - Video and/or audio (podcast) materials can be made available through an online sharing service where viewers can post feedback and "subscribe" to similar content. Usage statistics also enhance the usefulness of the service.
	Virtual Environments - These are immersive online environments whose "residents" are avatars representing individuals who participate via the Internet. 1
	Wikis - Wikis are Web pages that can be viewed and modified by anyone with a Web browser and Internet access. 1
