Podules working scripts

meg@meganpoore.com (Megan Poore) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:59:34 +0000

I’ve added a resources page to the MP.com website and on them, I’ve included the working scripts that Mel Jones and I used when we were recording Podules. The scripts give some information about the basics of podcasting, in bullet-point/note form, as outlined in my Podules podcast. They’re meant to supplement Podules rather than take its place, so I strongly recommend that you listen to the audios as well.

Note: For those subscribing to Podules via iTunes, for some reason, my EdCom interview with Greg Black downloads instead of Podules Ep 01. I’m working on it, but it doesn’t look promising … you might have to download this episode manually … sorry

Upcoming podcasts

meg@meganpoore.com (Megan Poore) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:59:00 +0000

I’ll soon be releasing the first of each of the EdCom and Podules podcasts on MeganPoore.com. EdCom is a podcast for educational comment in Australia and brings together a wide variety of voices and viewpoints — if it’s got to do with education, you’ll hear it on EdCom. Podules, on the other hand, is a smaller, advice-type podcast that gives those new to podcasting tips on how to go about creating your first podcast — basically, it’s a podcast about podcasting … a metapodcast, if you will!

I recently spent three, totally full-on days in Adelaide, interviewing a wide variety of people for EdCom. Here are just some of the conversations you can look forward to:

Greg Black, the CEO of education.au, talking about futures thinking in education
Ruth Geer, lecturer at the University of South Australia, explaining some of the challenges for international students presented in the Master of Teaching program
Cherie Pickering, a former teacher at McLaren Vale Primary School, describing her experiences with implementing Moodle in the classroom
Rachel Faulkner, Learning Unlimited Service Manager, giving us insights into how Mission Australia provides educational opportunities for disengaged young people
Susan Hyde, Jude Hines, Rick Williams and Raph Zadey, all of Blackwood High School, covering a range of topics from the learning future to philosophy and education to next year’s trial of a Personalised Digital Learning project
Lillie, a year 9 student, going some way to explaining why students of that year level have a reputation as being a bit ratty in school
Kerry Johnson, Education Officer at Education Network Australia (EdNA), having a ball with EdNA’s 10th birthday celebrations in Second Life
Priya Subramaniam, Law tutor at Flinders University, discussing the effects of commercialisation on universities

And many more!

I really hope you can join us on EdCom, and, don’t forget, if you want to suggest an interview send an email to edcom@meganpoore.com.
