New Media Teaching

Podcasts are an exciting tool for learning - but enhanced podcasts are awesome. (I'm exploring iLife 06 at the moment - enhanced podcasts using Garageband). I'd like to see the EdtechTalk podcasts enhanced - with the urls and key points in my iTunes window. My subject area is music and I ask my learners to analyse their own compositions - with an enhanced podcast they will simply import their recording into Garageband and line their analytical comments up against the exact moments in the music they wish to discuss. Great communication tool.

This is from Vicki Davis, teacher who uses the award winning Westwood Schools wiki to teach. We'd like to discuss how others use wikis.

I have two primary uses: classroom organization and classroom content.

Classroom organization

The wiki is my hub. I guess you could say, I have a wiki-centric classroom. Whether it is blogs, podcasts, wikis, or vodcasts, if it is created in my classroom it is linked on the wiki. If the student creates it, they are to link it. It gives us one place to organize and post and one place to send content to me.
