Tony Vincent started teaching fifth grade in Omaha, Nebraska in 1998, when it wasn’t so easy to publish online. Knowing that his students were motivated to see their work on the Web, Tony first had students write book reviews on Amazon.com. Later his students spent each school year contributing projects to their classroom site, Planet 5th. Planet 5th became so popular that it received thousands of hits from around the world. In 2001, Tony’s students became among the first to use handheld computers for learning and later among the first to podcast. Today, he works as an independent consultant, working with educators worldwide. Tony’s blog, Learning in Hand, is a great resource for educational technology. From netbooks and web applications to iPods, iPads, and podcasting, Tony has put together practical information for educators interested in mobile learning.

Monday, June 16, 2008 Empowering Students- and Teachers- with Podcasting
Today teachers learned from Ron Carr and Bill Bass how to record digital audio broadcasts, edit them & upload them to the web- how to create a podcast. So much was covered- from products to production! Just a few tidbits: the technical needs for creating a podcast were reviewed, like having a microphone and a USB headset. The better input you have, the better quality recording you’ll get. They talked about different programs for making podcasts (there are many options!)- like using Audacity and GarageBand. They discussed how to make your message clear & reach your target audience when you podcast. Ron and Bill shared many tips & tricks for creating and finding quality podcasts. Martha and Stacey were on-hand in the tele to assist & answer questions.
