This is all about kids teaching
– we should help kids create stuff so that when it is disseminated widely, it helps other people learn
30,000 uploads to Youtube.com per day
We have to get in the mindset of kids teaching
podcasting is syndicated, homegrown audio
– this is not just the creation of audio content
– idea is a regular show
This is not just for iPods, hundreds of student podcasts are out there
iTunes seems to be the best index of podcasts that are out there now
Radio Willowweb is a good example
David Warlick’s EPN is Education Podcast Network
Ourmedia.org is place you can post your podcast for free
Odeo.com supports direct audio recording through the web
Demo of skype with Dave of Worldbridges, then using Audacity to do basic editing of the podcast
Example: Advanced Video Podcasts
I am not a big fan of podcasts because it is linear and not interactive
– I am more of a visual learner and want to scan content
Screencasting toolbox
– computer, camtasia (about $200 educational) or windows media encoder (free from MS) or SnapZ Pro
Book: “The Wealth of Networks”
– author was in the middle of a preso at Harvard and interrupted by his mom via skype during his preso
Key is putting these tools in the hands of kids so they can TEACH
we can learn a lot from our kids!
