Robotics interview podcast deleted
Well, I messed up. I interviewed the winning 5th grade robotics team from Duncanville today in Plano, Texas at the TCEA Region 10/11 Technology Conference. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the file from the iRiver T10 recorder that I used for the interview. 🙁 Unless someone has a suggestion about how to recover a file that…

Feed for K12Online06
I was scanning the PodNova blog recently and found a link to the Library Clip’s post on Podchains.

You can find “podcastable” files (audio and/or video) and…

Presentations from Monday

Uncharacteristically, these are unedited versions of my presentations– I just don’t have time right now to edit, clean up, and compress these further. The presentations were/are: Safe Classroom Blogging to Improve Student…

Inexpensive podcasting audio recorder?
I am on the hunt for a new mp3 audio recording device. When I left my last job I gave up my university-owned iPod and recording adapter, so it has been only thanks to the generous loan of Miguel Guhlin’s personal iRiver audio device that I’ve been “equipped” at conferences like the one I attended…
