Welcome!

Welcome to my first venture into the world that is weblogging, or, as we so commonly refer to it as, blogging. Although the title of this is "The Id of Eric", this will be far less id than it is ego, but I thought "The Ego of Eric" would send the wrong message :-) The purpose of this blog will be two-fold; one: it is for a class I am taking, and two: To help others understand emerging technology in the world of education as I familiarize myself with one of said technologies. Over the course of the next few weeks I will be looking into several of these mediums, but for right now I will stop short of anything other than tell you the first topic we will be looking into is: screencasting. Take some time and click on several the following link to better familiaize yourself with what screencasting is exactly, I know the link helped me immensely.
