We PODCAST

For anyone yet to experience the wonders of Videojug, here’s an example of one of their technology ‘how to’s’:

Keith, Paul and myself spent an hour or so trying to work out how to get an enhanced podcast to show its images full screen on an iPod Nano . . . and we failed miserably. As usual the answer was to be found on the inter-web; press the centre button 3 or 4 times and hey presto the full(ish) screen images appear at the relevant chapter markers.

After a recent meeting of M-Champions involved in the MyPodcast project (held at Swindon College) it was decided to use this blog as a space for reflection and discussion and as a means by which we can map and capture the valuable conversations we share as part of the action research team. We hope these will include discussions centred around:

• Sustainability of the project (and the implications for staffing and costs);
• The pace of change of new digital technologies (and the implications for teaching/learning);
• The impact of introducing new technologies into classroom situations, including classroom management issues;
• Examples of useful digital tools for podcasting in education;
• Issues around networking Apple Mac and WindowsPCs;
• Issues arising directly from our collaborative research;

This is not an exhaustive list and I am looking forward very much to reading your contributions.
