iTunes downloads

From edwired:

So, do you think this move of content from the desktop to the handheld device is gathering steam? According to today's Washington Post the iTunes website has already sold 8 million video downloads. I don't know about you, but that number seems like the beginning of a trend if ever I saw one. Academic content developers take not. Desktop applications--old news. Handheld applications--news.

Yahoo and Podcasts

Yahoo has a a beta for searching podcasts here.  There aren't many history podcasts out there yet but there is great potential - especially since teachers can easily use them in their classes. The challenge will be organizing them and making them easily accessible and readily usable for teachers and students.

my first podcast!

I just finished my first podcast for my online course. I don't have to worry about hosting yet since I can put up the podcast in Blackboard and the university's BB server takes care of that. I've uploaded the file here but since I am still learning about altering audio file sizes, there may be some tweaking later on. Now to figure out an avatar to go with my voice :-) Download introf.mp3

History Teacher Podcast and Handhelds

Still googling, I found this History Teacher's Podcasting Blog. It was a great idea to blog from last year's NCSS meeting. Also found a blog about podcasting and handhelds. I think it will be helpful in better explaining why you don't need iPods to listen to podcasts. I also like the teacher's use of the term "studycast".

American Experience Podcast

PBS' American Experience has a series of podcasts that appears to have begun last fall. Some are only a few minutes but one is closer to 23.

Moving Forward on Podcasting

You know how you sometimes miss opportunities that are so close that they are right in front of you? We have some existing grant money that our grant director suggested we spend on podcasting. I had only been thinking about it in terms of future grants but this totally makes sense. Now, I'm glad I didn't get this email until this morning or I would have been up half the night looking around online!

I was already going to work on my podcasting for my classes but this will add another dimension (and another writing possibility!) to explore history blogs to more fully document what is already out there. I know Colonial Williamsburg has a podcast and Talking History has converted their programs into podcasts.  It will be interesting to see what else is out there in addition to a few other sites I've already found.
