I found this presentation while sorting through my usb drive from work. I remember it suddenly appeared on my desktop one morning. Could it be a message from the ghost in my machine, or a rare amusing Windows error?

Podcasting Presentation Handouts

Here are two handouts I made for my presentation;

Podcasting on a PC Overview – my overview about how to record audio on the Windows platform.
How to Create a Wordcast – an explanation about how to record audio directly into Word to create an audio journal.

First Podcast: How to Record Audio on Windows

Eric — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:46:17 +0000

I will soon be giving a presentation to the Educational Technologists of the Seattle Public Schools about how to record podcasts. A while back we had a representative from Apple do a demonstration about how to record a podcast in the iLife ‘06 version of GarageBand. Since our district mostly uses Windows, many were left wondering how the demonstration could apply to their classrooms. Therefore, my presentation will be about how to record audio on the Windows platform. Since I’ve never actually made a podcast, I thought it was time I give it a try.

Here is the file; Record Podcasts with Windows.mp3

Here are some links mentioned in the audio;

audacity.sourceforge.net
Lame encoder (for exporting Audacity projects as .mp3 files)
Sony Acid Studio

Feed Your Mind Flash Presentation

Last Thursday I gave a presentation about blogs and RSS feed readers to the educational technologists from the Seattle Schools. You can view the movie here or here to be able to resize the movie. The slideshow doesn’t show the full presention because I frequently navigatied away from the flash movie to show examples of other web sites.

Use these keys to navigate through the movie;

Right arrow: move forward one slide
Left arrow: move backward one slide
Up arrow: replay animation of current slide
Down arrow: skip animation of current slide

To create the slideshow, I reworked some code I created for the gallery at mustardworkstudio.com, but added functions to control the animation. I didn’t add as much animation as I had originally planned because I ran out of time and energy the night before the presentation (actually, early that morning), so maybe one day I’ll do some more work on this presentation.
