Cosmo and Friends During the Webcastathon
Here's the audio of a some fun I had during the Webcast Academy webcastathon earlier this month. I logged on to host a session during the webcastathon and had the good fortune to encounter Calamari and PN, after they skyped into my 'cast and invited me to join them in < a href = "http://secondlife.com">2nd Life.
It was a blast as we explored "in world" and met some great folks in our travels. Many, many thanks to all my guests, and hope you enjoy the audio of "Cosmo and Friends"

SpaceCast #2 - Still Flying
SpaceCast Episode 2 is edited and ready to go. This time it is totally done by students! After being recorded live on air, Lindsey wanted to hear how it sounded RIGHT NOW! So, of course I offered to teach her to edit the original track. Lesson one in Audio Editing.
We had a change in schedule at school the day this webcast was aired so we had to change the student hosts who were writing out storyboards a couple of hours before show time...but the kids did a great job. Alot of sports news, school reform and music comments are a few topics covered. Thank you, Kathy and Jeff, for joining us and to Worldbridges for hosting our event. Please let us know what you think and we are open to suggestions! See you next week.

Alex Ragone and Arvind Grover - Blogging in Education - Webcast #2
Happy Birthday WorldBridges!!! We look forward to listening to the webcastathon! This is our second webcast. We had an interesting discussion of blogging in education. Next week, we hope to continue the conversation with more specific examples of blogging in education. Please check out our new show wiki. See everyone next week.
Happy Birthday, Worldbridges!
I'd like to thank you Jeff and everyone involved at Worldbridges for the many hours of fascinating audio, the sense of community, and friendship that I've found through Worldbridges. You've been an inspiration to me, and I look forward to future collaboration, and more joint adventures in the Web 2.0 (and indeed in the Web 3.0, or should we say "Web 3D" of Second Life) in the next year.
SpaceCast #1- Up and Flying!
We have gotten our first SpaceCast edited and ready to add to our blog. After playing the recording to the rest of my students, they were sure they could come up with a much more entertaining show for future broadcasts. I encouraged everyone to write their scripts so we have alot of new ideas ready to go.
We had trouble getting on air at school and we need to improve our sound but anything new takes time to perfect! Everyone is getting used to the idea of being part of a live show and have started blogging like crazy in their Personal Learning Space to find out what this new technology is all about and who these students are talking to them on the show. Take a listen and please give us your comments and suggestions. We really want our SpaceCast to fly!
A Second Life Dicussion with Spin Martin, aka Eric Rice
Following the Webcast Academy Workshop on Tuesday May 9, 2006, we headed into Second Life for some skypecasting and a group tour to help us get better oriented into this very engaging virtual world.
We were fortunate to come across Eric Rice, aka Spin Martin, who aside from being a Real Life leader in the world of New Media(see blog.ericrice.com and hipcast.com), is pioneering the use of SL as a medium for creating personal media and doing cool collaboratve things .
Eric, who was working on the soon to be launched Hipcast conference center, was very generous with his time, fielding questions from us newbies and filling us in on some of his plans to bring Real Life events to Second Life.

This is our first try at webcasting. We discussed our backgrounds, and what type of topics we would like to discuss in the future. We had some issues with dropping packets, but you can make up most of the audio on the mp3. Check out our blogs at Learning Blog and 21 Apples.

Here's a Flash file that I put together that outlines the "issues" I had during tonight's edtechtalk brainstorm. As Jeff said, although you couldn't hear him over the stream, even those of us who've been 'casting for a while still get tripped up by the details from time to time.
