Just in case you read my blog first thing in the morning, I’ve decided to embed the Inauguration video hosted through hulu.com. It’s amazing some of the things that have come about through this election. For example, the first presidential photograph taken with a digital camera, the first national conversation of major infrastructure improvements. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Meanwhile, here’s Hulu’s hosted video stream of the inauguration.

Embarrassingly, I have to admit that I have never intentionally attempted to tune in to the President’s weekly radio address. Why? Well it probably has to do with my age and with the medium that has been used my entire life. While I listen to the radio on occassion, I’ve never been a fan of radio broadcast. It just didn’t catch my attention. Now enters my personal learning network. With the evolution of the read / write web, I find myself searching for information that I can apply to my daily life, professional career, and personal interests.

If you were to dive into my Google Reader account, you would see updated RSS feeds from Ed Tech, classroom teachers, national speakers, authors, friends, and many gadgets waiting for review. Now I have a Politics folder populated with President Elect Obama’s weekly addresses hosted on YouTube, with thanks to ChangeDotGov. Now this content comes directly to my list of unread feeds.
So what changes have you noticed in this transition to a new Commander In Chief? Am I the only one that sees a change that has made a difference, even if it is only on a shallow level?

Here’s an interesting article:
