It's just beginning to be "grass-cutting season" here in the north! My grass-cutting ritual for the last few seasons has included your podcasts and my ipod! I just finished the backyard and your podcast on dropio. I have been using dropio for over a year to share short videos with my daughter who lives out of town. She redecorated her living room and wanted me to have a quick tour, so the flip video and dropio made it quick and easy! After my own experience (which is of course how it always happens) I gave some ideas to my teachers. One of my French teachers had his students use their cell phones in class to record their version of a spy reporting into the organization. Then they all could listen in class and enjoy each others recordings. He has also used it to have them record from home for homework. My math teachers use it to post all of the math worksheets in .pdf format so that they can be downloaded easily from home. I also wanted to share a new way we are using it. A few years ago I decided that we needed to record school history by those who lived it. (hmmmm.... did you influence that idea??? ) I started by having a live session with a few people and editing it to put on our website. We tried to encourage other alums to come in to share stories, but many live far away or are older or too busy. We recently launched a new website and I had a great idea. On a website form page,(Sem Stories) I posted a dropio phone number. I offered the alums a way to record their story from home. When they fill out the form telling me that they are recording, the form generates an email to me. I can then download their story and edit it in audacity, save it as an mp3 and post it back to my own website. Since the site was just launched, I haven't had any takers yet, but I expect to have some soon! Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us. I always look forward to your podcasts! Now cutting the grass isn't as much of a chore! Beth Adamczyk Technology Coordinator Buffalo Seminary Hi Wes,
