Scholarly Life of a Committed Technofile

This post is blatant homework for the Podcasting FPLC. The beauty of Richardson’s book is its length; it’s short and easy to skim. However, that made the Podcasting chapter not very…I’m not sure what to say. I guess it has the basics:

• listing of directories to search for educational podcasts,
• examples of how to use podcasts in K-12 education, and
• detailed instructions for how to get started with the, most important, suggestions of specific tools to use (Audacity, Skype and PowerGramo, OurMedia.org as well as Windows Media Encoder for screen capturing/vidcasting, etc.).

I knew about Audacity, I never thought of recording via Skype…brilliant! I’m excited to learn about OurMedia.org. I’m also excited to learn about Odeo and Odeo Studio (yesterday during the Podcasting Sandbox…thanks Alisa). So, this blog is more of a reflection on the reading…with notes for future reference.
