Chapter 8 Casting call

I knew there were podcasts on iTunes, but I thought they were all about entertainment.  I had no clue there was an education section.  I will definitely check them out.  It is nice to know that I can subscribe to them as well.  Since podcasting is new to me, I will have to do some research on this one.  I am looking for anything that is valuable and can enhance my instruction or supplement my curriculum.  I will also check out the Education Podcast Network.  We might have a snow day this week.

I didn't realize that all of Khan Academy's videos were in the category of screen casting.  I love those things.  If I could make one of those for my students, I wonder if they would look at it differently knowing it came from me.  It looked like Jing was really easy to use.  With all of the things that are possible to enhance my classroom, the one that I am not ready for is videotaping my classroom.  however, I have seen some of my students' foreign language videos.  they cannot wait to show me what they produced.  Uploading them to You Tube was the coolest thing,  No more burning to a disc.

In the back of my mind is a video project for a class of mine.  I know there is.
