With GarageBand on a Mac, create an enhanced podcast, complete with images and links.

Link: Podcasting White paper

Podcasting White paper (Via EDITing in the Dark.) Raj points us to this podcasting white paper from educause. After a quick skim, it looks like good stuff… at least for testing and refining your own thoughts about podcasts in education. I’m not sure this will break new ground for people who already get it, and I’m not sure it is an appealing introduction for those that don’t, but if you’ll be teaching others about podcasting (or you are independently curious about it) then it might be worth the read.

iTunes U on the iTunes Store (It’s Official)

I don’t know how I missed this for a full week now, but it was just brought to my attention. You may have noticed the new “iTunes U” link on the left side of the iTunes store. Though some of us have been keeping tabs on it for a while, last week Apple officially announced iTunes U to the world. From the press release:

“iTunes U makes it easy for anyone to access amazing educational material from many of the country’s most respected colleges and universities,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “Education is a lifelong pursuit and we’re pleased to give everyone the ability to download lectures, speeches and other academic content for free.”

It’s now easier for us to show the educational benefit of podcasting for content consumption. The bit about content creation will still require a GarageBand (or Audacity) workshop and lots of educaitonal examples at the directories I mentioned earlier.

Best Podcasts iKeepBookmarks.com


iKeepBookmarks.com – bestpodcasts (Via John M. Simi, with thanks to Mike Lawrence for pointing it out to me.) This is a list of podcasts assembled by John for a presentation he did this summer. Apparently he plans to keep it updated from time to time… and apparently many of these were contributed by other Apple Distinguished Educators. Enjoy.

Also, be sure to check out the Education Podcasting Network site if you haven’t already. (EPN is provided by David Warlick & The Landmark Project.)

At FETC Learning about Podcasting

At FETC Learning about Podcasting (Via 2 Cents Worth.)

David Warlick does a great job live blogging conferences. I’ve always had trouble with that myself… I get to wrapped up in attending to reflect as I go, and invariably, I am too busy to reflect after.:(

At any rate, Warlick just discovered iWeb. It really is as easy as he thinks… when it first came out, I created a blog, photocast, audio podcast, and video podcast all in less than an hour… while simultaneously performing for an OCDE podcast (links to feed).
