Hi,

Don’t know if you’ve seen this, but someone tweeted about it tonight so I downloaded it. It was created by Tony Vincent and is an excellent podcasting tutorial. He has some fantastic resources on his website if you haven’t had a chance to check them out. You can download the podcasting booklet in PDF form from his home page.

Have you ever seen “Podgrunt?” Tony has a video done by Podgrunt on his site with a very simple explanation of what a podcast is and how it works.

In another email…

Just discovered these student podcasts today. Maybe you know about them. The teacher is in Alabama and is a computer lab teacher, Mrs.

Coggins. She calls them Buzzcasts and the students produce them once a week. It’s really a cute show. Looks like they follow a standard format that includes news (buzz), weather, menu, buzzword (vocabulary word), poem, joke/riddle.

I listened to the Buzzcast for May 12, 2008.

Love the lunch menu for Friday on this podcast–biscuits and grits. :-)

I learned about it through Twitter. It was posted to show how she uses smilebox.com on her site to share slideshows created by students. Click on the video link. She has over 5000 site visitors from around the world so she’s obviously doing something right. :-) She’s also using wikis with her students. There is a 4th grade wiki on her site for Famous Alabamians where she provides the assignment instructions. I couldn’t see her student mini-webpages they were required to create so they are probably protected. The school year is just getting started for her so I’m sure there will be lots of new content as the year continues.
