  • Using ffWorks and FFmpeg for Video Compression

    Almost every week on Wednesday nights I co-host “The EdTech Situation Room” (@edtechSR) webshow and podcast with my friend and fellow educator, Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach). My Thursday evening routine, therefore, usually includes post-production of the show so it’s shared on edtechSR.com, with both audio and video archive versions linked from Amazon S3. In this post I’ll…

  • Classroom Podcasting / Radio Shows 101 (April 2018)

    We are continuing an almost weekly “Making Media Monday” series of workshops at our school, and today we focused on creating podcasting / radio shows. I recorded a 9 minute narrated slideshow version of the introduction I shared with our teachers today, and uploaded it to YouTube. The linked slides are also included below, along…

  • The Podcasting Legacy of Bob Sprankle and The Scholars of Room 208

    Today my friend Bob Sprankle would have been 55 years old. Before Bob’s untimely death in December 2015, I had been working with him to archive some of his websites. Bob was one of the first elementary educators in the world to use audio podcasting with his students, and was recognized by the New York Times…

  • Podiant: A Great Platform for Podcasting and Migrated Podcasts

    Over the past 10+ years our family members have recorded a lot of podcast episodes in different places using different apps and websites. My all-time favorite remains AudioBoom (previously AudioBoo) where we still have 227 episodes available online. Some of my favorites there include: “USS Arizona Impressions” (very touching spiritual insights from a 6 year old)…

  • Audio Podcasting Workflows (August 2016)

    Audio podcasts are one of my favorite types of media products to create and share. While images and video clips used in narrated slideshow and quick edit video projects can significantly enhance engagement and learning for people watching and listening, those elements can also add significant time requirements as well as layers of complexity to…

  • Podcast445: Voices from iPadPaloozaOU + the iPad Media Activities & Project Matrix

    This podcast features a series of recordings from the first iPadPaloozaOU conference held in Norman, Oklahoma, on August 26 and 27, 2016.

  • Glimpsing the Future with Alec Ross

    The World Affairs Council podcast (@world_affairs) is one of my current favorites. As a fan of political science, history, international relations, global geo-politics as well as science and technology trends, it’s a home run for me. The guests they have on their programs are top notch. Like TEDtalks, it’s amazing we can access such high…

  • Podcasting Costs with Amazon S3

    Back in May of 2013, I migrated to a new web host which would not host the hundreds of audio podcasts I’d published since 2005. I needed to find a separate hosting company for my podcasts, and I opted to go with Amazon S3. My friend, James Deaton (@jed), had educated me about the benefits…

This podcasting effort has been at least three years in the making, so it’s very exciting to have it…
