Many of you have come to Webcast Academy because of your interest in learning how to use new tools.  For those that participated in our meetings this past Sunday, October 14th you saw webcasting in action.  We had an text chatroom, a live stream, and a skype conference.  Being able to participate in these environments is the first step in learning how to webcast.  So, for those of you that are new to all of this; I invite you to participate in webcasts offered here at the Webcast Academy.  You'll see event schedule on block on right side of Main Page.  I would also invite you to participate in the Webcasts at Edtechtalk  Well of enough of that for now, catch y'all live soon.

This is my audio introduction to the webcast academy.

I learn along with other learners at BCA.

It was exciting to participate in the first session of 2.3, while I was frustrated with my pc problem at the time. But it was so fun to join in live streaming anyway as a learner :) I really enjoy this worldbridge that helps me to connect with people from other side online. Now I am working on my audio ntroduction like another intern has mentioned in his blog.

Webcast Academy 2.3 begins tomorrow.  I'm excited!  I have posted my introduction, am working on my audio introduction and have been looking over the screencasts for Week 1s Assignment.  The screencasts have been very helpful.  However, I am having a problem converting my audio from my digital voice recorder to an acceptable format so that I can insert it in Audacity.  I will keep working at it.    

Hello fellow webcasters. I am Cheryl Lykowski and I am a returning intern, originally from class 2.2. I am a fifth grade teacher in Michigan and I am working on my thesis research project, International Collaboration. I am co-hosting a Webcast show, Teacher Talk, with friends and fellow interns, Lisa Parisi and Susan vanGelder. Our next show will be on Wednesday, October 17th @ 8:30 pm (EDT). Hope you can join us! I look forward to learning and working on my webcasting skills.

In order to keep track of where I am in course 2.3 / 2.4, I am building a meta list & roadmap.

I use Google Docs to create my own intranet of things... 

 

It is Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 8:30 p.m.  I am anxious and at the same time hesitant about beginning this new endeavor.  I am excited to become a part of a community of learners seeking to enhance their technological skills in a collaborative environment.  I am hesitant because I am involved in three other online courses at the same time.  I am hoping that this will not be overwhelming for me.  I feel like the proverbial "jack of all trades" however unlike the "jack of all trades" I hope I will be able to master all of the courses I have invested m

Welcome to new interns and welcome back to returning interns.  Our session will meet for 5 Sundays at 17:00 GMT starting on October 14th.  Please tell us about yourself and why you are interested in learning how to webcast.  

This was the final session of Multiliteracies TESOL Online course given by Vance Stevens; http://www.geocities.com/vance_stevens/papers/index.html  Special thanks to all that stopped by and participated live in our text chat, listening to the stream and part of our Skype Conference.  Text Chat will be posted here as soon as it is available.

Join me, and my family. First we wish Leroy a happy birthday. Then dh (dear husband) Terry Preston joins me to discuss the elements of an effective advocacy campaign.

This webcast was for a doctoral class at Illinois State University that I am taking on Improvements of Curriculum and Instruction. I was partnered with Dea Conrad-Curry to lead our class discussion for this particular session. We created a wiki for students to post and respond to questions the week prior to our online webcast. We as a class have been reading about the politics of curriculum and thus text book selection. We had a guest speaker with us, Dr. Kris Ross talk about her experiences with these issues. Read more reflection in my blog.

One long hour of trouble shooting. Does Skype kick everyone off a conference call---is there a rhyme or reason?

This webcast was done with the intended audience of my students- Master’s level dietetic students at Illinois State University. I was fortunate to have an alumn who graduated in May working at a renal clinic in Chicago and was interested in doing this online webcast. She was a great co-host! You can read my reflection of this show on my blog post. -Julie Schumacher Class 2.2

This webcast was done with the intended audience of my students- Master’s level dietetic students at Illinois State University. I teach a seminar class with the intensions of brining in topics that are unique and not always taught at rotation sites; one area being renal dietetics. I was fortunate to have an alumn who graduated in May working at a renal clinic in Chicago. She had wanted to do a class for the interns and when I mentioned the skype online webcast, she was very excited!

Mac vrs PC

Thank you to all our listeners that tuned in for our first show.  Jason Hando fought bravely for the Mac whilst Chrissy Hellyer played devil's advocate for the PC.  Final score Jason (Mac) 12 - Chrissy (PC) 18! 

Join us in a months time for Show #2.  The topic is  "Men make better teachers than Women".

It was a pleasure to interview Kim Cofino from Bangkok, Thailand about ProjectFeelGood - an online collaboration project we did together earlier in the year.  We also discuss the advantages of becoming involved in collaborative projects as well as some of the issues.  Suggestions are also offered as to how you can get started in a collaborative project with your class.
