Two Jordan District Teachers and Cell Phones

Two Teachers Using Gabcast and PhotoBooth
Hi once again. I just met with a delightful 2nd grade teacher who wanted to learn a little about KidPix. We got to chatting about podcasts, the Mac laptop class (check out the Apple Mac101 Tour), and PhotoBooth. So, what the heck, time to try an interview using the cell phone. Sherri Peisley and I had a little fun with this new technology. Hope you can join in sometime in a 2-way or 3-way conversation or interview. (Maybe my sister Trudie or Jennie?)

Gabcast: Create & Publish a podcast w/your cell phone in 3 minutes

Gabcast! sample podcast #1

Just sitting here with Cleo the cat listening to the K12 Online Conference presentations. The one I am currently enjoying is Liz Kolb's presentation on using cell phones in the classroom. She talks about several different online sites that make it easy to create and post a podcast using your cell. so I went to Gabcast, created an account and posted a short podcast, all in about 3 minutes.

Cleo just sat here watching. I took her picture in PhotoBooth. Cats don't sit still for photos. I bet it looked funny me coaxing her to sit still for this picture. I wish she would meow, then I could call Gabcast, record her and post that so you could hear her. She is pretty cool. So is Gabcast.

If you are interested in educational technology, you might really enjoy watching some of the video podcasts at the K12 Online Conference site. I am amazed at what I am learning.
