Blogging supplies conversation. You need to find a way to make it more interactive.
This changes from students as students TO students as teachers They are now teaching about history - they become a teacher like when they mke a video - it becomes more internalized.
RSS - extremely powerful technology to pull information to you - a subscription. Regular programming schedule.
Loved his format - black background with white font. This is not just for iPods.
iTunes (there are other places to go, but it's the best place to find out what's out there. A listing of all the different podcasts.
Check out on iTunes, but there are more. There are students teaching with audio.
Radio WillowWeb - podcasting about your place (where you live).
Bob Sprinkle - Room 208. Very elementary. There is a blog, museum guide, etc...
Podcast with audio and other files (pdfs). The French PodClass. The Podcast includes pdfs.
(EDUTOPIA - with art. Virtual tour. Online site with the audio. The art museum did links. They could also listen to the students.) Great idea.
EPN The Education Podcast Network - WOW! All education podcasts.
Tim Wilson also has an excellent podcast.
Things you need:
1. Digital Recorder

Skype - use skype to interview people, record it, and publish. It's not hard. WOW!
PowerGramo (add-on, allows you to record it).
Audacity fades, cut, audio, get the screencast. Export as mp3. Add meta data if you want.
Turn around time is about 15 minutes. Skype it up. ;) You can get 5 people.

SCREENCASTING********************************
The best way to learn something is to teach it. If we can get the kids to teach what we're trying to teach them, they will understand the process. Taking a movie of everything that's happening on your movie screen.
Look into captivate.
How cool! I got to talk in Will Richardson's lecture.
Wikipedia Screencast. Check out this screencast of John Udell. He's teaching about Wikipedia. He's thought about it.
For me, I use screencasts to explain projects so I can show examples, how to use specific peices of software, and to teach about specific concepts. It's not a bad way to integrate Powerpoint, Internet, etc...
My students in EDCI 271 used Camtasia to explain how to use different pieces of software. It was great for problem solving as Will indicated.
Windows Media Encoder is free. However, I MUST have Camtastia, the newest version. You can do a video of yourself and do a
picture in pictureeffect which is really good. Camtasia lets me export as a vidcast. I can use this program to transfer all of my video files. However, Will talks about thinking about it ahead of time. You need to script it. It's very important. However, I use it as a casual piece of software.
Will Richardson focuses on tools are not conversation pieces. How can we use this to ENGAGE our students.
as opportunities to TEACH. When we have our students teach the material, they understand it better.
