This is a welcoming address of about 25 minutes to the 2006 World Association for Online Education (WAOE) Annual Members' Meeting. After hearing this you can talk back just by plugging a microphone into your computer and using Odeo's voice message function Send me a Message. This talk mainly introduces some of the new generation of free and collaborative sites called Web 2.0. It would be helpful to open the following Podcasting for EFL wiki of the TESOL Electronic Village Online (EVO) site in a new browser window, then return to this page to play the podcast WAOE_Meeting.MP3: Podcasting, Coursecasting and Web 2.0 Technologies for Research. At my online library you can also see an example of using Flickr to make a moving collage of colorful photos and screen shots of Japan, Australia, and virtual learning environments.
Collegially, Steve McCarty, President (1998-2007), World Association for Online Education;
Professor, Osaka Jogakuin College (in the map below which you can operate, it's just south of Osaka Castle)
