Summertime: Who is making plans for school to start?

Summer is traditionally a time away from planning and even thinking about planning for school. But with all the free time, it is a prime time to explore new ideas, maybe remember ideas you have had but not acted on or had time to work them up. How many of us are doing any summer planning?

Is anyone exploring Web 2.o tools? If so, can you share ideas or tell about any good programs you like? I do have some plans that are in the works. At ISTE, I learned more about VoiceThread, blogging, and podcasting. I built a VoiceThread and posted it on my other blog, it's called: podcast blog. I am hoping to incorporate blogging, backchat or back channeling, and VoiceThread as a means of driving student discussion and as a new way to have students do class presentations, instead of the old stand at the front of the room and read the screen.

Does anyone know a quick and easy way to upload audio to blogs in blogger?
