CC Publisher corrupting mp3 podcasts?
I have run into a rather frustrating situation with the last 2 podcasts I created with Garageband3. Previously I had used Audacity to create all my podcasts and never ran into this problem.

Web 2.0 and conferences
How can web 2.0 technologies be most effectively leveraged to maximize interaction and participant benefit prior to, during, and after an educational conference?

Hedgehogs and Japanese Snow
This afternoon my oldest daughter and I created an enhanced podcast about her recent hedgehog science fair project. It is just 6 minutes long, and turned out well. The photographer of one of the attribution-only creative commons Flicker images we used (a cute one of a hedgehog yawning) has a Japanese Flickr contact named Tsuda.…

Good thoughts on school computer technologists
Jeff Moore posted some good reflections about the evolving role of computer technologists in schools back in November as a short podcast. I heartily agree with Jeff’s contentions that educational technologists in schools should be developers rather than installers, and should be viewed as TEACHERS rather than technicians. Schools serious about helping students and teachers…
