Workshop Abstract:

An Introduction to Podcasting

Learn how to start podcasting in (and beyond) the classroom. In this fun hands-on workshop, participants will learn how easy it is to plan, record, edit and publish a podcast.

Participants will be provided with a sample task sheet and assessment rubric.

Bring your USB if you want a copy of your podcast.

With your permission I will publish your podcast to the web.

I have already run this workshop through CESA AGQTP.

"Loved the workshop – went home and used my RSS and made a podcast so that I don’t forget. Have decided that next term for the unit on Space Travel I am going to get the girls to make a digital/verbal diary of a journey they take to space based on facts from Apollo 13 movie. I am so excited!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - email from workshop participant

Workshop Abstract:

RSS, Pod & Vodcatching

WWW now stands for whatever, whenever, wherever.

Are you suffering from information overload in the digital age? Stream selected content into your digital world.

Workshop participants will construct an iGoogle page to subscribe to RSS feeds. Discover how subscribing to RSS content is an invaluable tool for time poor educators. Once you understand the power of RSS you will wonder how you lived without it!

Learn how to use a free open source podcatcher to subscribe to and download podcasts and vodcasts. The beauty of a podcatcher is that it can run overnight and download your listening and viewing needs while you sleep. Be introduced to the diverse content available to be downloaded - free and legal. Learn how to download popular programs like Compass, Catalyst, Tuesday Book Club or The Gruen Transfer (and many more) all free of charge that can be watched when you have time or even used in the classroom.

(Note: For this session it would be an advantage if participants have or create a gmail account. To make one click here)
