Audio and video content can be accessed online, created by individuals or groups and used for collaborative conversations. The first step of the course is acquiring and organizing existing content available from online. Next is learning to use podcasting tools to create content. Participants can then expand from podcasting to screencasting and vodcasting to make use of the distributed, collaborative potential of these tools.

I learned so much at NECC. Going back to the conference planner is a place to catch up on presentations and links for the sessions, but I find that the conversations are where I learn the most. I sometimes change my mind about who to go listen to based on what people say. I am also fascinated by what other people have found out from sessions and speakers and would love to hear what you learned. So to keep this concept going, I started a form and would love to have you fill in what you learned. Virtual attendees are welcome to participate. The data is posted so it will be fun to see what sorts of things come in and continue our conversations. Check back to see the new information as it comes in. I am already seeing some interesting new connections and places to check out. Thanks for continuing the learning!

Our last show before summer break. We prepped for NECC. Alice and Cheryl are heading to Washington DC. Bob is attending virtually. Ben joined us to talk about planning for a student show in the fall. We really enjoy hearing Ben and look forward to a student version of the show. Stay tuned, he has some interesting ideas. Have a great summer. SEEDlings will start up again in September.

The school district I work in offers a three credit course to teachers each summer with a follow up in the fall. This June we started with 16 teachers. It was a great test run for our Google Education domain. Thanks to our student helpers who are indespensible!

Thanks to Wes Fryer for posting this interesting project. It’s a student initiated movement to get iPod touches into schools, called the iSchool Initiative. Check out the video. Travis makes a pretty compelling case! He even gives other students the tools to meet with their principal. There are some interesting ideas and I think as more tools are developed, the iPod touch might be a viable device for school. Good Luck Travis and friends!
