  1. Podserver, Instagram and Tumblr. By Casey

  2. Podserver • Current format for GEOG – 3530/8530 • Uses HTML code • Relatively simple coding language to learn • Reinforces HTML learned in the lab portion of class • Looks fairly outdated • Allows for PDF uploads without using another media uploader • Does not crop graphics based on pixel size • Students can manipulate individual web pages • Uploads are easiest from computers, but tablets or phones with web browsers will work

  3. Tumblr • “Microblogging site on steroids” - Cameron Chapman (http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2010/07/22/a-complete-guide-to-tumblr/) • Pictures, Videos, Links, and Audio can be uploaded • PDFs can be uploaded but must use an external media uploader (blog or FTP access and place in a website directory) • Updated design compared to Podserver • Multitude of free blog formats to choose from • Students without computer programing background will find it difficult to modify formats, because languages other than HTML could be used • Easy uploads from computers, tablets or phones • Does not crop pictures due to pixel size

  4. Instagram • Social networking service which allows users to take video or pictures and upload them to Instagram or other social networking sites • Pictures must be 1936x1936 pixels…Instagram will crop the rest off • Does not allow PDFs to be uploaded • Images must be uploaded through a photo album or camera roll and can’t be easily uploaded from a computer (easiest to use phone or tablet)

  5. Conclusion • Instagram (in my opinion) is not a good option for GEOG – 3530/8530 because it is not built to easily upload graphics that are not images from the camera roll of a phone or tablet • Tumblr has potential, however the fact it doesn’t support PDF upload independently makes switching to the site as a medium for GEOG – 3530/8530 less feasible (still my favorite) • Podserver allows for all formats used in GEOG – 3530/8530 to be uploaded independent of an outside site (unless the file size is too big) and is probably the best option as a medium for GEOG – 3530/8530 • Students and Professor should work together to ensure uniform naming of links and projects
