  • Morning with the Practical Principals

    Don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t ALWAYS listen to educational podcasts in the morning when I mysteriously find myself at the local YMCA gym, or on my commutes to and from work. The fact that I CAN choose between music and high quality, free educational professional development when I turn on my iPod is…

  • Lessons learned about podcasting microphones

    It is true we often learn more from failures rather than successes, and my experiences with podcasting microphones provide several cases in point. The first 100+ podcasts I made were created using just the built-in microphone in my (then) iBook and (now) MacBook laptop. After making so many podcasts, at some point I realized I…

  • A blast back to my podcasting past

    This evening as I continued the process of updating my vitae with activities and updates from 2007, I needed to find my first-ever podcast to add that date under the vitae section I’ve titled, “Podcasting Projects.” It turns out that date was August 3, 2005, and the title of the 13 min, 12 sec podcast…

  • Morning with Dr. Alan Kay

    2008 is off to a great start. I spent 1 hour and 13 minutes this morning listening to the challenging and visionary ideas of Dr. Alan Kay, who was a keynote speaker at the EduComm 2007 conference this past June in Anaheim, California. I also started the day at the YMCA gym several blocks away…

  • Podcast211: Technology Shopping Cart Podcast02 – Wikis, VoiceThread, and MathCasts

    This episode features a conversation with Karen Montgomery, Tim Fahlberg, and Wesley Fryer about why wikis should be considered a “basic ingredient” for gourmet learning in the 21st century, and how Tim’s MathCast project is a phenomenal example of using digital storytelling technologies to learn and share our learning with others. Like writing, learning mathematics…

  • The novelty of news and importance of media literacy

    The Engines of Our Ingenuity podcast has a great, short episode narrated by Catherine Patterson titled, “INVENTING THE NEWSPAPER.” Students in school today may take the terms “current events” and “news” for granted, but these types of real-time and near real-time information sources were invented and became popular, relatively speaking, only yesterday. Here in the…

  • Recording with multiple mics in Garageband

    My son and I recorded a podcast interview today in Garageband using two different USB microphones at the same time. We had not ever done this before, but learned how by using this YouTube video from MacMost as well as this Apple Garageband support article. We’ll be posting this podcast here later today, which lasted…

  • Two new video podcasts from Ford Island, Hawaii

    I have posted two new video podcasts to our Oklahoma Digital Learning Team – 2007 Hawaii blog: ODLT Episode 2: Video from the location of our upcoming December 6th videoconference, and footage of the nearly complete memorial for the sailors of the USS Oklahoma ODLT Episode 3: Interviews with high school junior ROTC students from…

  • Mobile Digital Storytelling

    I have written a new article for the winter edition of the TechEdge, the journal of the Texas Computer Education Association. Normally I publish these articles on my “Tools for the TEKS” website, but since my version of Dreamweaver no longer works with my upgraded operating system I have to delay linking this article from…

  • In the carpool with Kevin

    Friday morning after Thanksgiving day Kevin Honeycutt and I spent some time “in the carpool” via Skype discussing educational technology tools for which I am thankful and other topics. Kevin’s description of the skypecast conversation is: In this carpool, Wesley Fryer shares some of the tech tools he is thankful for. Besides being back in…
