Podcasting session in TI with Graham Stanley

While I'm blogging this tonight, I'm listening to Graham Stanley at teflpodcasts.blogspot.com , also in a Blogstreams salon session in Tapped In where Graham is the idea of podcasting for language teachers and students, and the lively discussion among the dozen of participants is now spinning around all sorts of technical questions - how podcasts are recorded and edited (with Audacity), how they're hosted (at a server with space for audio files), how they're added to your blog (in a Blog posting linking to your server space), how to use iPodder or another RSS like feed service (to help the cast being automatically downloaded to people's iPod or other mp3 player, or pc or mac) - and ways to use this in the classroom, or even after students left the school or university!.

Graham recommends to start at sushiradio.com, and he promises to put the links up on his blog at teflpodcasts.blogspot.com tomorrow. And, Lee will add all the links to her helpful www.del.icio.us/webheads tag page. And Elderbob invited us to join his free Open Weekend at www.knowplace.com starting on Friday July 1st (at 9 pm GMT) , with all sorts of related topics to discuss, such as vlogs, audioblogs and more (I know, this is not his precise description; I'll have to find out what he would call this, and announce it here later).

I wanna get started some day as well!! Only time will keep me away from this new territory for some more time. At least I will find out when is the right time to get one of those tiny mp3 players, or an iPod photo de luxe :-)

Ale in Argentina blogged my presentation in TESOL-Spain

Unfortunately, I forgot to take screenshots of our presentation for the TESOL_Spain conference that took place in Sevilla, in March, 2005. We had 20+ online attentands from different parts of the world, to the amazement of our f2f audience :-) But Ale in Argentina, who was online, took screenshots and published them on her blog. Thanks a lot, Ale :-)
