Below you will find the podcast she is working on for 7th grade camp orientation. Please provide feedback in order to create the best product for our community. Eventually, she would like to work with the 6th grade and 8th grade team to produce a similar product for our students and parents. This is an opportunity for us to disseminate all the information in a concise and meaningful way.<br /><br />Check out the initial stages of the <a href="http://edweb.sdsu.edu/Courses/EDTEC700/podcast/oberle_7camporientation.mov">7th grade camp orientation podcast</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some examples of Podcasts</span><br /><ul><li><a href="http://mrmayo.org/">Mr. Mayo</a></li><li><a href="http://epnweb.org/">Education Podcast Network</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://edweb.sdsu.edu/podcast/"> San Diego EDTEC </a></li><li><a href="http://itunes.stanford.edu/"> Stanford on iTunes</a></li><li><a href="http://www.photoshoptv.com/"> Photoshop TV</a></li><li><a href="http://www.twit.tv/"> TWiT </a> - This Week in Technology</li><li><a href="http://www.edukast.com/techpodzone/"> Tech Pod Zone </a></li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some items that you will need to begin creating your first podcast are:</span><br /><ul><li>headphone with microphone (USB is best) - Ms. Oberle has Logitech DZL-A0374A</li><li>GarageBand or <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a></li><li><a href="http://odeo.com/">Odeo</a></li><li><a href="http://skype.com/helloagain.html">Skype</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://bloglines.com/">Bloglines</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/103-6424042-6001469?search-alias=aps&amp;keywords=iRiver%20IFP-895">iRiver </a></li><li><a href="http://www.lecshare.com/index.htm">LecShare</a> - Tool for Creating Accessible Podcasts from Powerpoint</li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24002631-115964371090867570?l=fpmsprofdev.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12998505326721202286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24002631.post-1142278520960561902006-03-13T11:35:00.000-08:002006-03-14T20:59:46.866-08:00<div style="text-align: left;">On Wednesday, March 8 I headed to the Computer Using Educators Conference in Palm Springs. I'd like to share some of the information I gathered. Hopefully some of you will join me next year in the desert!<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">iPod & Education</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7716/2485/1600/homo_portableaudio.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7716/2485/200/homo_portableaudio.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://joyoftech.com/"></a>The evolution of <span style="font-style: italic;">Homo Portableaudio</span><br /></div> <span style="font-size:78%;">Cartoon cortesy of <a href="http://joyoftech.com/">http://joyoftech.com/.</a></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Apple Distinguished Educators Kathy Shirley, Ted Lai, and Robert Craven shared how iPods can do so much more than play music. To help demonstrate this, all participants were given a video iPod to use during the demonstration. One of the podcast examples was daily Photoshop tips from <a href="http://techpodcasts.com/">techpodcasts.com</a>.<br /><br />Podcasting is a method of publishing audio programs through the Internet. It is anytime and anywhere learning. The number of podcasts is growing exponentially. Although I didn't get all the numbers, these were amazing to me. In November 2004 there were approximately 5000 podcasts, September 2005 61 million, October 2005 67.2 million, March 2006 233 million.<br /><br />Throughout the presentation I was thinking of how we could use podcasting in our curriculum, some of my ideas were: walking tour of school for prospective students, historical speeches, interview family members for Coming to America Project, directions for science labs, training videos, school information and news, book reviews. One of the podcasting ideas presented was sound effect stories, <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/drfloyd2">The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.</a><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24002631-114227852096056190?l=fpmsprofdev.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12998505326721202286noreply@blogger.com0
