  • Comparing Podcast Audio Normalization Options

    When you record audio during a conference presentation or other event, the volume levels of your recording can vary when presenters move or are located at different distances from the recording device when they speak. If a final audio podcast is not normalized after this happens, it can be frustrating to listen when audio levels get quiet…

  • Interview with Chris Davis on “Journeys in Podcasting” Project

    This afternoon during the “Hack Education” event at the 2015 ISTE Conference in Philadelphia, I was interviewed by Chris Davis (@chrisdaviscng) about using media to document classroom learning.

  • Conference Podcast Recipe and Workflow

    Yesterday I assisted Sharon Abrams, a member of our church in Edmond, Oklahoma, with a one day “Autoimmune and Arthritis Seminar.” I made the coffee, provided AV support for the presenters, and made the four sessions of the day digitally available on a new website I named, “Health and Medical Podcasts.” This process involved capturing presenter sessions…

  • A Day of WordPress Website Updates

    I know it’s vacation time when I can spend almost an entire day on the couch updating WordPress websites. That may not sound like a fun way to spend break time from teaching at school, but it does to me! Here are some of the updates I made today to some of my websites, several of which were LONG overdue.    by  Nikolay…

  • Copy Podcast RSS Link From iTunes

    I love listening to audio podcasts on my daily commute to school and on car trips. I frequently subject my family members to different podcasts (like Science Friday or NPR’s Technology Podcast) when we’re shuttling kids to lessons or other meetings after school. I’m currently subscribed to 65 podcasts on my iPhone with Pocket Casts. Podcasts can…

  • Start of School Reflections (Fall 2014)

    Yesterday I recorded a 25 minute reflection about my initial 5 STEM lessons for my students as we’ve gotten back to school this fall. I recorded this on my morning commute using the free iOS app AudioCopy, and then uploaded it to SoundCloud. Access referenced resources on stem.wesfryer.com, including the referenced “Maker Studio” resources.  …

  • A Renaissance in Educational Podcasting

    For the past year, I’ve been LOVING what I perceive to be a renaissance in educational podcasting. Since 2002 or 2003 when I first heard David Warlick share an educational podcast, podcasting has been a huge part of my ongoing professional learning as a teacher. My current podcatcher app of choice on my iPhone, PocketCasts,…

  • Self-Hosting Oral History Audio (or Lectures) with Free Podcast Generator Software

    Radio shows and audiobooks are wonderful resources for learning, particularly for people with commutes or who like to walk / jog / exercise regularly. There is a “texture” and communicative power to the spoken word which isn’t captured fully in written texts. Pre-recorded (asynchronous) audio recordings provide fantastic flexibility for listeners, who can start and…
