Email becoming irrelevant? Not for most teachers!
For the past two years I’ve used the commercial service Pobox.com. For $20 per year, they provide you with an email address you can share publicly and then redirect to any other email address you choose. I like doing this because it provides another layer of spam protection for my personal email, which is certainly…

We wrapped up our 3 day “Digital Learning Academy” yesterday with teachers in Mustang, Oklahoma and in St. Louis, Missouri, with teachers sharing the results and learning points from their collaborative projects at the end of the day via a H.323 videoconference connection.

Tony Vincent: One of my podcasting “Yodas!”
The conversations at the NECC 2007 blogger lounge and in the hallways have been the highlight of the conference so far for me. The keynote this morning was good, and I’m looking forward to hearing Tim Tyson tomorrow, but it has been SO wonderful to meet face-to-face and discuss / network / joke / laugh…

New link for Mother’s Day Podcasts
Carol Anne McGuire’s “Mother’s Day Podcasts” are some of my favorite examples to share with educators whenever I’m teaching about podcasting. The link to those podcasts has recently been updated with 2007 additions, and I got the new one from Carol. It’s now correct on my Intro to Podcasting wiki curriculum. My favorite is still…

The future is unwritten
I flew down to Houston today, and had an opportunity to listen in the airport, in the air, and a bit on the cab ride to my hotel to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates’ recent interview at the D5 conference. The interview and subsequent Q&A lasts 1.5 hours, and is available as a free download…

FORA.tv fixes ID3 tag issue
Kudos to Nick Ryan of FORA.tv— he read my recent post “The joy of Juice Receiver and PodNova” and left a comment. In that post, I lamented the fact that (previously) FORA.tv did not include descriptive titles for podcasts to facilitate decisionmaking about which episodes to download when users are just viewing the web feed,…

School podcast publishing with LoudBlog
Many thanks to Dean Shareski for sharing some good humor and thoughts here over the weekend. Now I’ll be challenged to periodically add to my new humor blog category! 🙂 I was in San Antonio presenting a couple of workshops on podcasting, and (as always) emerged from the workshop experience learning several new things– hopefully…

The joy of Juice Receiver and PodNova
For the past year, I’ve used the free PodNova website and free PodNova desktop client to manage the podcasts to which I subscribe and listen. I use iTunes to actually listen to most podcasts and synchronize those I’ve downloaded to my iPod. (See my post “PodNova and Podcast Subscriptions” on TechLearning from March 2006 for…
