If you're one of the tech savvy teachers who are exciting your students by encouraging them to create their own podcasts (a terrific way to give them a "voice") then I want to call your attention to Tony Vincent's latest Learning In Hand blog post titled Advice for Better Podcasts.
Tony responds to a recent a article written by Matt Villano, Building a Better Podcast found in January 2008's T.H.E. Journal. You will find some great tips from Tony and get an overview of what Matt wrote.
If you are a "newbie" to podcasting, then be sure to check out Tony's very complete Podcasting in Education web page. Lots of excellent resources to help you get started.
You could also consider signing up for an upcoming CESA 7 ETS (Educational Technology Services) workshop coming up in fall of 08. Wisconsin podcasting expert Naomi Harm from CESA 4 will lead you and yours truly will be there to assist you in creating your first podcast!
For more info on this workshop, you can contact Chris Rogers, ETS director with info found on the ETS home page.
You can also check a previous post in this blog for some additional resources and info.
So...start podcasting! You'll have great fun and so will your students. (They'll think you're the coolest teacher of all and they'll learn some fantastic lifelong skills in the process.)
